Got to agree though, there are some people here who make more on the dole (social security) than if they actually got a job... so no incentive tio work... maybe we need to get tougher on these people...
Its about 6.5% here.
Small language conflict here, Social Security in the USA is the rather meager old folks pension and has little to do with freeloading. Strange that they call the "dole" in Britain "social security".
>So the US has a long way to go! It'll take not very long to get there if the same socialist policies that are much to blame in Europe for the unemployment rates, continue to be adopted by Congress.
Actually, most European countries have much better looking numbers than the USA.
California's unemployment number just jumped to 11.2%.
Hi everyone, I am trying to get PDF file output from the python program to give a print. is there any solution? please give me a valuable reply...
If I read this right, you want to create one PDF file for printing your Python program results (text, drawings, images). In this case the reportlab module will do the job.
Spain has unemployment rate of 14%. Most African coutries are much higher than this, like Zimbabwe shows 80% in the CIA's World Factbook. So the US has a long way to go!
Python version 3.0 has modernized the language and much of the old code examples will not work. You can use a little utility program called 2to3.py to change old syntax to new syntax.
Pope Benedict told a gathering of scientists including the British cosmologist Stephen Hawking on Friday that there was no contradiction between believing in God and empirical science.
The NSA is already keeping close tap on anything going on on the internet. They have to, it is their job and keeps us safe. Why get upset about something that is already happening in secrecy?
--- I just read in the news that some bomber on a bicycle blew up a German armored vehicle in Afghanistan. There were quite a number of dead. A bicycle vs. an armored car?
It's not just the Germans that get killed there.
This is in the news today: US helicopter gunships pounded one Afghan army post and killed large numbers of Afghan soldiers loyal to Hamid Karzay.

One gang of robbers broke into the lawyer's club. The legal lions gave them one fight for their life and their money. The gang was very happy to escape.
"It ain't so bad," one crook noted. "We got $25 between us."

"The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants." (famous quote from George W. Bush)
If they had nuclear power plants this would not have happened.
How do I use wx.Gauge to show the progress of very slow process?
# show the progress of slow process with wx.Gauge widget
import wx
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, mytitle, mysize):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.ID_ANY, mytitle, size=mysize)
panel = wx.Panel(self)
# for instance process takes total seconds
total = 50
# range set to 0 to total
self.gauge1 = wx.Gauge(panel, wx.ID_ANY, range=total,
pos=(10, 10), size=(390, 15), style=wx.GA_HORIZONTAL)
self.val = 1
self.timer = wx.Timer(self)
interval = 1000 # (in milliseconds)
self.timer.Start(interval)
# bind EVT_TIMER event and
# update the gauge every interval
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.update_gauge)
# code your process here ...
def update_gauge(self, event):
"""move the gauge one notch"""
self.gauge1.SetValue(self.val)
self.val += 1
app = wx.App(0)
# create one MyFrame instance and then show the frame
MyFrame(None, 'use wx.Gauge to show progress', (420, 300)).Show()
app.MainLoop()
Fred walks into the post office one day and sees one middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.
Fred's curiosity gets the better of him and he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he's doing.
"I'm sending out 1,000 Valentine's Day cards signed, 'Guess who?' "
