If I had all the money in the world, I would have to hire a huge private army (something like Blackwater) right away to protect it.

Too many headaches! I would be happier without it. You couldn't even give it away quickly, it would create one giant riot.

I guess the whole thread is a rather unintelligent question.

Take a look at:

Here is an easy one. Create a list of integers between 1 an 100 that are not divisible by 2 or 3.

No, because you seem to believe that if the government has made the choice then it is right.

If the government made the choice what are you going to do about it? They are the elephant, you are the mouse. Are you going to argue who is right?

A cup of cold coffee, a half empty bag of Milano Double Chocolate cookies, and a Firemen calendar my sister gave me. Wow, those guys sure wear skimpy uniforms.

Currently sitting at Posting Shark.
What I want to know, however, is what kind of shark I'm supposed to be.

Dogfish?
Nurse?
Whale?
Hammerhead?
Land?
Goblin?

How about the man eating great white shark from Jaws?

Hey thanks Dave! I was looking for a nice picture of her and you found it. Well, everything is relative (compare this to Dole or McCain). She does look old and tired in that picture. Must be the makeup person was on vacation. Ene's song writer might have to be careful in the lyrics.

Lol, I am over 100 posts and made it a "Junior Poster" already.

A trishaw, what a cute way to get around town.

As long as you are not the one that has to pedal the contraption.

Whoever jbennet is, Girl come before God in the dictionary. Also, God made Man first and then perfected his efforts to make Girl. You just got to love 'em!

Hey Bumsi, normally folks refer to it this way:
What did God say after creating Eve? “Practice makes perfect.”

Maybe some poster will find a good tip that will work for our friend jbennet. Keep the posts comng!

Hey Ene, tough morning there?

What did God say after creating Eve? “Practice makes perfect.”

Maybe he liked his Big Macs too much, that's why they fired him.

What gives? I thought that old McCain was a Republican? He would be old enough to be one.

I thought Lardy was a little young for that! :)

My advice to jbennet and other young fellows, don't heed the crude advice of iamthwee or his buddy josch. That kind of behaviour is disgusting, let them grab their own fat behinds, if they enjoy it so much.

With still a 5-10% failure rate (in which I describe failure as your vision after the procedure being worse than it was before) I call it definitely NOT safe.

If something goes wrong, sue them for big bucks!

Some college profs use the old graphics module to keep their students honest.

If you look at my post, you'll see that i used a pair of " "...therefore it wasn't to be taken literally...

No harm done, I thought your "traveling the world" more interesting, and expanded it to "experiencing the world."

So what does an expert like you recommend young jbennet to do?

I have watched Star Trek "The Motion Picture" a few times. There the living thing is the spaceship itself, hard to miss since it is about the size of Texas. Interesting concept. Something like this might be possible.

I dunno... The president should do more than act like a leader, but unfortunately the only way to determine their suitability is to put them in the chair. They should give each candidate a small state. Put them in charge for a while and see what happens.
But McCain is about a hundred.

We have elected governors of states in the past. This time it looks like it will be a choice of just Senators (Washington insiders) and most likely politics as usual. More wars, more debt, hidden taxes, flipper jobs, oh my! Voters are a stupid lot! Yawn yawn ...

Heh! There is no 'she'. Plus. I was mainly kidding.
I'm lovely in real life. Honest.

In that case, come back in! You are not in the dog house any longer.

We always strive after what is forbidden, and desire the things refused us.

I wouldn't even think of such wanton behaviour.

I have a reputation of dumping people before Val's day. So much so that my friends have a bet that I'll get a girlfriend before the 14th and dump her before the 14th. Not a serious one mind.

It's the most economic solution. Dinner. 'Present'. I might as well just give her my bank account.

Sounds more like she is dumping you! If she is not, she should!

JB needs to travel the world before settling down...he's too young to be doing "married/devout" already.

As far as I understand this, JB wants to find a GF not a wife. "Traveling the world" also means getting to know some girls real close.

American football is a bunch of overweight yahoos in expensive padded gear running into each other, chasing an almond shaped ball. Hardly a game of strategy and, as long as you run into the right direction, no need for brains.

Come on, I have dated a couple of football players, and that overweight is all muscles! They may not be very smart, but then, for the moment, who cares?

I like my boyfriends clean shaven and cleanly dressed. If they have wit and a friendly smile, I will take them even unshaven. If they like to dance, and are good at it, I can overlook a lot of cosmetic flaws.

Please wrap your code in code tags.

Spumoni with a touch of brandy.

#Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.

(From a sign hanging in Albert Einstein’s office at Princeton.)

Nice twist on words! Did good old Albert write this, or was it simply some sign? It's fun to substitute count with other words.

> I was told this forum was global,

This fact still holds true. You seem to be having some weird notion of what global *actually* means.

BTW, I am with EnderX on this one.

Now I am getting curious too dear sos, pray tell me what does global "actually" mean?

Hey, we are almost there!!!! Just 24 hours away! Time to get excited, honed, stoned and have fun fun fun! Hell with the hangover!

guys nag too and thats worse than girls nagging because its expected of us

Nicely said! On top of that, we girls have no mechanism to tune out the lower pitch male voice.

You serious? Yahoo has been sucking the last few years. Yahoo should take the money and run... and I guarantee that's what they'll do..

And yeah, of course Microsoft wants dominance on the web.. However, they wont have long.. Once the dems take control of all three branches of government, Microsoft and many other companies will be broken up as a monopoly :P

Ahh.. the good 'ole trust-busting dems.. always contributing to recession..

Is there ever anything positive that comes up in your mind? I feel sorry for you!

Thanks Jeff, I am learning a lot. I will test drive your code and let you know.

I thought cairo was associated with the pyGTK/GTK GUI toolkit.

What is your point?

I may unstress with something some other posters won't, does that create stress for some of the posters and not be allowed? :)

Okay Snee, you are stressing me! Remember, silence is gold!

Ann Coulter is running second to Rush Limbaugh.

"John McCain, the leading Republican in the primary field right now, is attacking economics on the basis of class envy. That's the kind of stuff that just rubs me raw, folks."

I have met Luca Toni in person in Italy, and now the 'golden shoe' will play for Munich.

It's on a Sunday, and my religion does not allow me partake in such spectacles and the associated sinful behaviour.

Good Lord, I feel sorry for you!

The Patriots will stomp the Giants and make Dwarfs out of them!

What is the easiest or most elegant way to let the user input a list in a console program?

Thank you Sir, I make it a habit not to have a point.

It's ironic that this has come up in the "Ways to reduce stress" thread :)

Hehe, you are right!

I must say this, being a young person and degradingly being called a "kid" ruffles my feathers! It is not very pleasant!

>what do u guys think??
How about this? If you exceed 500 posts (Coffee House doesn't count), 50 solved threads, and maintain at least 4 green rep blocks, I'll give you one "get out of jail free" card. That means if you somehow accumulate enough infractions to be automatically banned, I'll reverse enough of them to unban you one time.

The conforming posters that maintain 4 rep dots never get into a situation where they could even use the "get out of jail free" card. How about a certificate of "Conforming Poster of the Moment" written on nice sturdy paper.

A new search warrant for electronic devices?
We need to really educate the members of our judicial system then, or let a computer issue the warrant after answering three simple random questions.

IMHO: If you want privacy, hide in a cave.

Idiot-friendly software would be an interesting term to use!

> I consider being called "a despised cocky kid" and insult! Watch your poor manners!

You started it all by dragging my country name into this discussion without any reason and turning a friendly discussion into what it is now. Keep your sarcasm/pointed remarks to yourself and if you can't, don't give out a cry when someone fights fire with fire.

As the new Moderator on this forum, are you outlawing sarcasm? Remember, this is mostly a European and American audience, what counts for sarcasm in your country may not be sarcasm at all here.

jforrel, nice job. Please look at

to learn how to add code tags around your code.

Here are some hints readily plugged from the Python manual:

# let the user enter numbers into a list
input_list = [19, 37, 23, 67, 45, 54]
max_element = max(input_list)
print max_element  # --> 67


# user enters the string with raw_input()
input_string = "hello everybody"
upper_string = input_string.upper()
print upper_string  # --> HELLO EVERYBODY


# assume this comes from a text file
text = """I have much
more money
than I can handle
"""

word_list = text.split()
line_list = text.split('\n')

print "Number of char  =", len(text)
print "Number of words =", len(word_list)
print "Number of lines =", len(line_list) - 1


# the conversion from a binary string to integer number is simple
print int('1101', 2)  # --> 13

My girlfriend...yummy

White wine goes very well with that meal!

Yahoo is a little like Microsoft, always trailing behind in technology. Look what others have and copy or buy it.

The new iMac looks real cute.
