Hopefully they refunded the state their salary, realizing how excessive and improper it was. A guy can dream, right?

I think the biggest issue facing Python as a web development tool is deployment. Among the people I've spoken with, they like Python and the frameworks but often fall back to PHP because the deployment is so simple (possibly to a fault). Doesn't stop me from using it, but i would gather it's a significant factor for a lot of newcomers.

The biggest problem with selling the Nexus One direct was support. Carriers didn't want to support a phone that hadn't branded and Google couldn't accept that people don't want to ask a community message board and wait a few days for a reply when their phone doesn't work.

I'm surprised that sleeping is still a group activity for you after that.

Do remember that people tend to describe themselves as they would like to be, not as they are. I'm sure all of us have some point in the day we would like to be at the gym -- whether we get there is another issue. I don't know a lot of hyper-fit developers in my area.

64GB here, haven't used even 16gb yet but still love it. Couch, bed, car, DMV, bank, anywhere there is a wait it comes out. It even made sitting in front of TV for an entire 30 minutes bearable.

I think some aggregate, separate list of rental properties would be nice. MLS typically covers the available properties for sale fairly thoroughly but renters are left scouring through craigslist, newspapers, and shoddy realtor sites.

I have had a good experience using Twilio to handle and route incoming sales and support calls.

you would have trouble finding someone who spends more time manicuring their public image. check the recent edits on the wikipedia article about him if you don't believe me.

At this rate they might be our only hope.

Not feasible. The software used in the mail sorting machines is not open source.
