wow

That one looks too much like a dentist's chair.
....

hehehe I am almost a dentist

Brazilian OJ

halloween is something else

shit lol i got 7 and im from the Dundee, Scotland

and a Canadian beat you?

listenend to christmas song

the game is very hard

interesting facts

this its funny

You pay 2 Dollars and you are allowed to throw 4 dice. If the sum of the dice is less than 9, you win 12 Dollars, otherwise you lose your investment. Should you play this game?

Let a small Python program help you.

CARNIVORE has been vacuuming the internets since Homeland Security; some major providers have been inserting BitTorrent start and stop codes into the datastream to try and control bandwidth but that is being litigated in the DC Circuit which has a reputation as being a pro-industry anti-regulatory bunch of judicial activists who don't give a squat about actual case law. The RIAA and MPAA regard the internet as the worst mistake they ever let happen while the FBI want a built in backdoor to it.

Thanks for the info. Let's hope the FBI is only after the criminal elements.

I got 8 right, but then it helps to be born in Canada.

NObama '08

What is the other choice again?

Obama is a quack.

Are we quoting your Bible? You know the "throwing the first stone" quote. Mr. Obama is a fellow Christian.

The duck goes quack.

Absolutely fantastic smear!
Now I know why most people will vote for Senator Obama.

The sound module I dig is pymedia, here is an example:

#! /bin/env python
# PyMedia wave play
# download: pymedia-1.3.5.0-pre2.win32-py2.4.exe
# free from: http://pymedia.org/
# pymedia will work with python25 if you hexedit all 5 .pyd files
# in the pymedia installed folder and its subfolders
# --> find python24.dll and change to python25.dll

import sys

def playWAV( fname ):
    import pymedia.audio.sound as sound
    import time, wave
    f = wave.open( fname, 'rb' )
    # speed things up by multiplying the samplerate, also gives higher frequency
    #sampleRate = f.getframerate()*2
    sampleRate = f.getframerate()
    channels = f.getnchannels()
    format = sound.AFMT_S16_LE
    print sampleRate, channels, format  # test => 8000 1 16
    snd1 = sound.Output( sampleRate, channels, format )
    #s = f.readframes( 300000 )
    #snd1.play( s )

    s = ' '
    while len(s):
        s = f.readframes( 1000 )
        snd1.play( s )

  
    # since sound module is not synchronous we want everything to be played before we exit
    while snd1.isPlaying(): time.sleep( 0.05 )


if __name__== '__main__':
    """
    if len( sys.argv )!= 2:
        print "Usage: play_wav <file>"
    else:
        playWAV( sys.argv[ 1 ] )
    """
    # pick a wave you have
    waveFile = 'boing.wav'
    playWAV(waveFile)

Again, all further development seems to have stopped in 2006. Makes you wonder how much longer Python will last?

A picture is worth 376 words!

You got the mind of an old man already!

Much too difficult for me!

A must have, put one on my xmas list.

Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible.

Now those were the real heroes!

Election 2004:
Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
Those who count the votes decide everything.

Let's hope we don't have a repeat in 2008.

One more scary picture, then I am getting ready for Thanksgiving.

Very funny! Actually, what else can you do with a poodle?

Blond Brownies and hot chocolate.

Any fool can paint a picture, but it takes a wise man to be able to sell it.

Ah bummer. Should i move this project onto another language such as C++ or do you rekon i could still do it in python?

Simply go to the C++ forum here and ask. There are plenty of experts there that know how to handle sound files.

Sorry about putting my quatsch up three times, but DaniWeb kept on freezing up when I did it.

Get one of the many Python Learning Books they usually have plenty of exercises.

Hey and hello bonnie1702, it's nice to have sombody cheerful around!

It's only $30, why not go for it? I have heard good things about the IDE.

Is there anywhere to download pysonic for python 2.5? Because i cant find it on the sourceforge page..

Find file pysonic.pyd installed on Python24 and copy it to Python25
pysonic will work with python25 if you hexedit pysonic.pyd
--> find the python24.dll ref. and change it to python25.dll
you can use for instance the ICY hexplorer utility

There may be a runtime version warning, but it works otherwise.

Just in time:

You forgot one option on the poll:
"Hell no, that has to be the lamest thing I've heard in a good while."

I vote for that!

If you have Windows machines, then it is much simpler to distribute your PyQT programs on an inexpensive USB Flash Drive. A 256MB drive will do, they cost just a few dollars.

Follow this procedures on one drive, you can then make copies from there:

Let's assume you have used PyQt-Py2.5-gpl-4.4.2-1.exe (free download from:
http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/download.html) to install PyQT on C:\Python25

Let's further assume you have used PortablePython1.0.zip (free download from:
http://www.portablepython.com/) and extracted its files to flashdrive G.

To make PyQT work on PortablePython1.0 copy the following files:
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4 to G:\PortablePython1.0\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\sip.pyd to G:\PortablePython1.0\Lib\site-packages\sip.pyd
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\sipconfig.py to G:\PortablePython1.0\Lib\site-packages\ sipconfig.py
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\sipdistutils.py to G:\PortablePython1.0\Lib\site-packages\sipdistutils.py

Now run one of the PYQT testfiles in the SciTE.exe IDE that accompanies PortablePython1.0

Here is one of the test programs:

# pqt_checkbox1.py

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui
from PyQt4 import QtCore


class CheckBox(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)

        self.setGeometry(300, 300, 250, 150)
        self.setWindowTitle('Checkbox')

        self.cb = QtGui.QCheckBox('Show title', self)
        self.cb.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.NoFocus)
        self.cb.move(10, 10)
        self.cb.toggle();
        self.connect(self.cb, QtCore.SIGNAL('stateChanged(int)'), self.changeTitle)

    def changeTitle(self, value):
        if self.cb.isChecked():
            self.setWindowTitle('Checkbox')
        else:
            self.setWindowTitle('')

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
icon = CheckBox()
icon.show()
app.exec_()

PortablePython1.0.zip includes:
Portable Python 1.0 BETA
Python 2.5
Django 0.96 - Revision 4293 (08 january 2007)
Scite 1.71

You won, congratulations!

Interesting, just released in the news:
The latest poll of registered voters in the state of Texas states the 24% of voters there believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim.

Python is very well suited for text modifications. Write a small Python program that modifes this typical raw email text:

You vote for Obama and the machine jumps to McCain, interesting! On top of that, taxpayer paid for the thing.

This morning in Defiance Ohio in front of 2000 adults and 4000 school children Senator McCain introduced "Joe the Plumber". The problem was Joe the Plumber wasn't there.

On last Sunday's "Meet the Press" TV show, John McCain said he was supported by 5 former Republican Secretaries of State. Even using his fingers several times he could only list 4.

Why? Any humor book would pale in contrast with such a laughing source as you provide.

Dear God! No insult meant, the Dave I am confusing you with is a real nice person.
