After someone mentioned to me they had learned HTML from a particular site,
I thought I'd check it out. The site is http://buddinghtmlgurus.com . On
their main page they tell you to "[t]ake control and learn to write your own
W3C standard HTML 4 code."
I have lost count on how many basic flaws there are in this one page. And if
you continue to page 2, it gets even worse.
Now, if the author is reading, I'm sorry. You are probably a fantastic
person and a great friend/parent/domestic partner/etc. But this page is not
worthy of someone who ought to be teaching others to do HTML. I am queasy
just looking at it.
I'm not in the habit of trashing webpages, but this author purports to teach
people to code HTML! It's awful enough that I had to post here about it.
Maybe someone's got a wall of shame going... 5  1504

Well, I've never had the slightest expectation of anything resembling
valid, accessible Web authoring from any site with "guru" in its
name... that's generally a signal of "gee-whiz" dee-zine-er types who
want to show off "kewl tricks" rather than engage in logical
information architecture.

I proposed python as the main language for our next CAD/CAM

for it. I'm not sure yet if the decision will get through, but
something I'll need in this case is some experience-based set
of rules about how to use python in this context.
For example... is defining readonly attributes in classes
worth the hassle ? Does duck-typing scale well in complex

Pickle and marshal are not safe. They can do harmful
things if fed maliciously constructed data.
That is a pity, because marshal is fast.
I need a fast and safe (secure) marshaler.
Is xdrlib the only option?
I would expect that it is fast and safe because
it (the xdr spec) has been around for so long.
Or are there better options (perhaps 3rd party libraries)?

I'm a bit confused about memory usage, and for some reason I wasn't
able to find a single point-of-call to get the amount of memory
available.
If we take, for instance, the Windows platform:
There is
* Virtual memory you can allocate (VirtualAlloc)
* Global memory you can allocate (GlobalAlloc)
* Local memory you can allocate (LocalAlloc)

I was wondering how people would feel if the cmp function and
the __cmp__ method would be a bit more generalised.
The problem now is that the cmp protocol has no way to
indicate two objects are incomparable, they are not
equal but neither is one less or greater than the other.
So I thought that either cmp could return None in this
case or throw a specific exception. People writing a
__cmp__ method could do the same.

And if there is one, is there a way to make forms that are wider?
For every day on the form (first field) it needs to be followed by 52(!)
datefields. I've widened the form as far as I can but I lack

Any solutions?

Looking for some opinions on alternatives to programming with Access.
I find that quite often I need to loop through my recordsets (first to
last) performing calculations and was wondering if there is a faster
alternative than Access?
What about VB.Net and MS SQL - could I do the same with this
combination? Would it be any faster?
Thanks,

We've fooled around with Access a bit, but only using the
single-user store-bought version. It seems to be a good
database - versatile and infinitely programmable - and
can apparently be used as a front end to SQL server if
we ever needed to go that route.
But - is there a client/server version of Access ? Looking
on the CDW site there is a bewildering variety of packages
and licences and such, but we can't figure out just which
