I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you're not just a troll.
But it's hard doing that, considering how easy it is to find a python tutorial just googling for one.
Personally, I like Dive Into Python. It's good for just going headfirst into the language if you're already a programmer and you want to quickly learn the essentials.
Maybe I'm going to be the first one in this thread besides, perhaps, the thread starter, to make an actual genuine effort to be nice.
Happy birthday. I hope you have a splenderific birthday and you get lots of cake and you eat it and it'll be yummy.
And also, I hope you get some nice cards or a good present.
Kay?
Wow... I don't think I've ever seen so many alt accounts since... ever.
Alright, so time for a topic. Since this thread has taken a turn for the boring, as can be seen in the last few pages, but has shown some new hope.
What is the craziest place you've ever masturbated in?
Yes, it counts if you masturbate in that place for the purpose of being able to answer this question impressively.
Myself, I don't jack off often. It saps too much energy from me, and essentially knocks me out for the next hour. Besides, it's just never been that big a deal for me. But back in the heady days of high school, I did once masturbate after school in the principal's office. I had gotten detention, and was just waiting around for my ride, so it was probably a strange mix of emotions going on there. But still, that's pretty fucked up - jacking off in the principal's office.
On a sidenote, my girlfriend Sam once ran a drivethru at a mcdonalds, and while a guy was driving through, his friend to the right was masturbating. Not kidding. This guy in the drivers seat was speaking into the box, just casually making a mcdonalds order, while the guy next to him, was yanking at his own cock and grunting. He was still going when they got to the first window, so I'm guessing it must be difficult to pull off in a moving vehicle, but the entire concept is ridiculous - masturbating while next to your pal and going through a mcdonald's drive-thru. Man - being a guy makes you all kinds of fucked up.

Goddamn god. Jesus, what is wrong with that deity, he thinks he's some kind of God or something. Well, I'll tell you, he's not as divine as he thinks. Really, I have scientific proof somewhere that god's an asshole. You can tell he is cause scientists think that the big bang happened or something like that. I swear.
Dude. Just get off your soapbox. Please. You've had your few minutes.
I'm sick and tired of reading a scientific journal every week (Nature) and seeing proof after proof and evidence after evidence used to support and corroborate every paper a scientist publishes, and then seeing some dipwad stand up on a soapbox screaming "WHERE'S THE PROOF? WHERE'S THE PROOF? I DEMAND TO SEE THE PROOF! THIS IS WRONG AND THAT IS RIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN PERSONALLY PROVIDED WITH ANY PROOF FOR EACH AND EVERY STATEMENT EVERY SCIENTIST HAS EVER MADE!", or, like you, saying "MY VAGUE IDEA OF SOME SCIENTIFIC THEORIES MEAN THAT ALL SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT EVENTUALLY LEAD TO CORROBORATE AND SUPPORT MY WACKO BELIEF!"
Seriously. It's bullshit. If you're going to make any argument, look at the facts, publish a paper with evidence supporting whatever statement you're making. And if there's not enough evidence to support your hypothesis, change your theory to reflect the facts, or don't publish a paper. But don't just take some pseudo-science and use it to create the illusion that the entire scientific institution supports whatever arbitrary belief you may have. Give me some hard evidence and I may believe what you say. Ramblings and postulations which try to abuse the public's ignorance of the nature of the scientific process, for whatever personal gain or confirmation the author has in mind, mean nothing when it comes to real life.

Or abstinece until you meet that one partner? I think God invented STD's to curse those who treat their body like the village bicycle. On the other hand, this is 2006, most people don't live like the Amish anymore so it does need to be talked about, especially how different STD's are transmitted and avoided.
Powerpox has a point too. There is so much wierd crap out there, it would take an entire college semester to learn about it all and then they'd have to come out with a new version of the book every 6 months or so when they found you could viably screw someone in the ear. I thought I was daring by buying Karma Sutra at Barnes and Nobles. But seriously people, Gay or Straight, anal anything is just wierd. It was never meant to be, religiously or evolutionarily (is that a word?).
I guess it's all a matter of lifestyle. But it seems to me that when it comes to sex, most things are common sense. If you meddle in wierd crap, your going to go home stinking (literally).
Okay, that's just fucking ridiculous. This is exactly WHY we need to talk about this stuff, because we have fundamentalists believing that if you get an STD, it's not from ignorance, but because you did something bad which pissed off god. WRONG! People get STDs because they're raised in a way which they don't know enough about protection to keep themselves safe when engaging in a sexual act. There's really not that much to know, it's just that no one takes the effort to learn or talk about it.
Guess what buddy: You don't need to have anal sex to get AIDs. You can get AIDs from regular in-and-out sexual intercourse, and the person you get it from could have gotten it that way too! Anal sex is more likely to spread an STD because irritation of that area is more likely to cause cuts and sores, which exposes the bloodstream to whatever parts you're sticking in there, but vaginal intercourse is darn dangerous too.
Just having sex with someone with HIV can get you HIV. That's why you need to test for HIV. That's why you need to ask your partner. That's why you need to use protection during sex ("always use a condom"). A birth control pill doesn't cut it. STDs are easy to transmit, and if you don't protect yourself, it doesn't matter if you're the most traditional of traditional when it comes to sex, you're at a high risk of catching any STDs your partner has.
So no, this isn't a punishment by god solely meted on the raucously sexual, bohemian and reckless. These are just a bunch of diseases which we all need to know about and watch out for. People need to talk about sexual subjects more openly. People need to use protection. There is no question about it. Awareness is the watchword when it comes to sexual activity, no matter what you're doing.
Actually, with firefox and safari, using the unipage tag, you can actually store an image in an html document and have the html document display it, but IE can't work with it, so already only 10% or so of the internet users out there can read your page. And it's not really HTML, anyway, but a modular subroutine, and it's not really something you can use to draw or edit an image in any way that could be described as easy.
I'd suggest you just stick to displaying external image sources on your HTML page via "img src"
I feel that if I'm going to post in this topic, I should actually end up contributing something:
Perl is really easy to learn, Alcalde. Now's a good time to learn it. I'm not about to whip out my O'Reilly on it, but you really wouldn't have any hard time picking it up. Try it out. Get a compiler, and make a batch file to perl the .plx just so you can edit the code at your leisure.

Okay, yes, I know, guns=badcausetheykillstuffright?
Yes, fine. I agree. But unless you can ban every single weapon out there, and ban everyone, including gov't, from having a firearm, gun control is stupid legislation. The more we take away the ability of the populace to own weaponry, and the more weaponry the gov't has, the more the gov't can push the populace around should there ever be a major conflict. You get it? If the government ever wanted to "put down a protest" or "silence some terrorists", they'd have no trouble executing you or any of your friends. If they did, what could you do about it? Weapon control laws would be so strict, you'd have trouble getting your hands on firearms. All you could do, if there was gun control, the government ever started legitimatizing the systematic annihilation of its political opponents or anyone else that pissed it off, would be to sit there and cry, moron. Cry that you ever supported gun control.
Without Japan, the US would've forced-industrialized Korea instead, ironically, and they'd probably have ended up Pearl-Harbor'ing us. But without either of them, we'd have just opened up some nice western trade routes to China and everyone would have been happy and cooling down on the imperialism. But no, they had to exist. Therefore, a hundred and a half years of imperialist fights and ridiculously nationalist conflicts. Thank you very much Japan and Korea. You've just made the world's last century and a half just grand.
OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIS EYES?!?!??1??!?!?
Have no worries, Kagome, that's fine. I just listened to some of your demos and you sound like you could do something like this well. I've e-mailed you the lines and stuff, there are four of them; if you choose to voice them, that'd really help me out. Thanks.
Hi, everyone. I'm in desperate need of a voice actor, and I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I need a voice actor who thinks they can sound somewhat like the kind of voice a DJ or radio voice has. Why? I'm working on a flash, and a significant part of the story line will involve the fictitious radio station. I have currently worked my vocal range to the limit in making different characters sound different, and if I want this flash to look anything less then amateurish, I'm going to need a little variety.
All I need is someone to say the name of the radio station in a cool, announcer voice, and the several slogans I have for it. I'm not going to post them here, cause people would waste time and space talking about them. For plot purposes, it needs to be said as if it's an actual serious radio station trying to sound cool (in the way the average local rock station would), and shouldn't hint at all at parody or goofiness or sleaziness or anything.
Voicing it won't be that much work, if you have a microphone, you'll be able to get all of it done in 3 minutes, tops. You'll have to record maybe four, short lines, and that's it. So if you have a few extra minutes on your hands, and you want your voice included in a flash, please respond.
Thank you for that.
This is simply a request, if you don't want to do it, don't volunteer. If you do want to help someone out, great.

At 8/24/05 10:47 PM, Jams44 wrote: So like the RESTART button?
No. I don't.
I mean, as in, no matter how it was shut down or who does it, it starts back up. If it's shut down through a remote command to shut down all systems, it starts back up. If the power is disconnected so long that it runs out of batteries, it starts back up. Essentially, I need a way for it to automatically start as soon as electricity is running through it, and while yes, that'd probably require some restart-related altering of the BIOS, that's not what you meant. Condenscend me if you will, but all I asked for help, not taunting. If you don't want to provide anything helpful, that's fine. But I'd prefer you didn't both of our time.
:What is this function for, exactly?
Eh... it's for something sort of like a home-made localized server running off of a laptop. To that kind of nature. So to get that true kind of dedicated server functionality, it needs to always keep going, even after a blackout or a malicious person who knows a few MS-DOS commands and wants to ruin the fun for everyone. (I'll probably remove the shutdown command later from whichever .sys file it's in, but local networks aren't exactly the most secure things anyway.) I really doubt there is anything else that needs to be said that's relevant, so I'll stop here.
There could be a bios somewhere that lets you do that. Chances are it wont be compatible with your hardware though.
Or you could fiddle with the electronics. Got a solder iron?
Why was I foolish enough to come here looking for actual help... maybe I'll try a programming community which knows what it's talking about instead of vague generalities and ideas, pointless questions and redundant useless knowledge...
Okay, I guess it's not all that bad, thedrunkmonkey was at least trying to point in the right direction... I guess...
Now, I know this sounds like a really weird request (one of those "Why in the hell would he want to do that?" requests) but I need to know if there is anyway to make my laptop automatically boot whenever it's shut down. Not just when the power switch is held until the computer turns off (I already know how to do that), but whenever it shuts down. It's a Toshiba, but I doubt it really matters. Y'see, I know that because programs and computers have the ability to reboot and restart, that a computer is able to do this, and I've seen a computer that did it before (but that time it was a glitch). So I know it can happen, I just need to figure out how.
Of course, if it would require coding a process, I'm just going to give up now, but if it's simply changing part of the system, (going to have to be running XP for this) to do a special command on shutdown so that it reboots, or altering the MBR, or somesuch, which requires a few simple lines of code, I would forever greatful if you guys could provide some code, some information, an idea on how to go about it, or even a point in the right direction. The more specific, the better.
Thank you for any help you can give.
