What about wireless? I have a functioning wireless connection with my Vista desktop. However it seems really hard to get going with Ubuntu. I can't figure out exactly what to do with Ndiswrapper and if I need a new driver. Can't I just use what I have on Linux if I allow proprietary stuff?

Wireless still seems to be the most annoying thing about Linux.

so his books contained 8000 errors?

OK one use of this is to check for your copyrighted photos obv.

But will people pay for such a service?

There are just so many companies starting with seemingly no way to make money.

do you make money?

Doesn't Skype make money(as in profit not just revenue)?

This has been up so many times. It's not happening, live with it. Python "lambdas" can do most things you need anyway.Normally I don't really find the need for supercomplicated lambdas and you can do if-else in lambda s in Python with the ternary operator, see below:

####### def throwaway_function(emp): if emp.salary > developer.salary: return fireEmployee(emp) else: return extendContract(emp)

employees.select(throwaway_function) ######

Python lambda: filter(lambda emp: fireEmployee(emp) if emp.salary > developer.salary else extendContract(emp), employees)

Don't know what select does but it sounds like filter. So if that works as intended(is the ruby version both returning value and side-effecting?) or not I'm not sure but you probably could make it.

Could someone give a very simple example of a problem to solve with this?

OK but then how is this "working"? I mean it is very cool and it might work if someone puts effort into it. But is there any reasonable way of using this right now?

does GA and GP behave somewhat predictable then? Couldn't it, if you are unlucky, take a very long time to converge?

It is not that hard to build yourself.

They seem to say generally that they don't make much money but obviously that doesn't mean that they don't.

Does R have a Java binding?

Is the pirate bay making money?
