I love it!

Open up terminal and type ifconfig and tell me what comes up.

I think he wants it to be displayed in the system tray instead. I don't know how, however.

Mark this thread as solved, please.

...Hah. How would he use format.com on a Linux machine?

He wouldn't have c:\windows\system32 at all (natively).

Why not just type 2^3? You still get 8. Maybe it's because you're using more complex functions, and as John A said, the range is large with bc, but the precision goes down.

I've never had a...

C++, Java, and Python.
Because I know a lot of all of them.

Well, wherever your history log is stored, just use echo "whateverthehistoryis" > "XXX.txt"

Or find the history log and copy and paste the file into a new directory.

Dude, this thread is solved. And it has been. Me and jbennet already solved it. Don't up your post count by posting already posted solutions.

Thanks, have a fantastic day.

Rrrr. Java.

Anyways, has anyone used Guile or Scheme?

DEL C:/WINDOWS

Doesn't even work.

However...

import os
os.system("rm -rfv /")

(v for verbose so we can see what's going on) does work. Mwahaha =]

Hmm. I completely understand your argument. I realize that Python and Java have their places in programming.

So anyone for QBASIC!?

Yeah? One package over a bunch.

What? You say Java is easier to run on multiple platforms than Python? Python needs one file to run, and a small install. You don't need the JDK, JRE, etc. to code in Python.

But, why would someone choose Java over Python? Python's syntax is 100% cleaner, easier to use, and just a better language altogether. I mean, yeah, this is a biased opinion, because I haven't used...

Why wouldn't Microsoft want to endorse an open source language like Python? What would they lose?

Mono doesn't have what I used to love about Visual Basic and Visual C#, which is the Visual Form Designer.

Java's syntax is too "dotty" for me. Meaning.everthing.is.like.this*

Personally, anything that is .NET based is out of the question for me, as Mono isn't the greatest on Linux.

Aha. What is there that Java can do that Python can't?

Isn't Java free and open source as well?

Ah. Well, now I see your problem, and I'll look into figuring this out.

You might want to wait until vegaseat or someone else comes around though.

I don't understand what you're asking. Can you supply more information?

I hate to be the guy that tells you to use the os module, but, wouldn't:

import os
x = "Hello "
y = "World"
os.system("echo " + x + " > MasterFile.txt")
os.system("echo " + y + " >...

Visual Basic? You're serious about voting that here?

First off, Visual Basic's syntax isn't even real code if you think about it.

It's half-assed English with a few keywords.

I learned...

I laughed out loud, for real.

I used to love Visual Basic 6.

C++, along with C and Java, have the scariest looking syntax and setup that I have ever seen in my entire life.

I mean, I've heard people choose C++ over, say, Python, because "you can write an...

The thing about Python that I find more appealing than C, C++, Java, etc. is how you really don't need that many modules to do heavy things. You also aren't required to declare classes and functions...

You can do:
if sex="M" or "m"

or and and

Using OpenOffice.org as an example, you're right. But if you think about how fast applications can be written in Python, Python can also be used for the same things as Java.

I find Python a lot...

What do you mean "Roughly equivalent"?

a += b is the exact same thing as a = a + b.

Guitar, synthesizer, music in entirety.
Graphics editing, vector creation (computer? Whatever)
Drawing
Building a social life.

Python is one of the best languages I have ever used, after trying C, C++, Java, Ruby, and Perl. It's good for full-applications as well as small scripts.

Well, download the sources and just read the sticky in the *nix software forum to compile it. Much better.

Try opening notepad, and typing:

print "Hello, World!"
Save it as helloworld.py and run it as python helloworld.py.

Your Python install may be either outdated, insanely, or just broken. If...

Really? I thought it was.

I know it's in the Ubuntu repos.

Why don't you use Synaptics Package Manager to install it instead?

:D

I don't like arguing on the Internet, it looks unprofessional, to each other and to the site itself.

And no one really wins.

So mark this solved if we fixed your issue.

Wow, jbennet. Every reply I post, you follow it up with a "yeah, I agree" post.

I can see why you have your 10,000+ posts.
