It does that when you cross-post.

1. don't post, or
2. don't use google to post -- there is no real excuse for doing so.
Just about every computer comes with a newsreader. Get a free account with
news.gmane.org and read/post gmane.comp.pyth on.

gmane is great! its renaming of newsgroups is quite a headache.
i found that comp.lang.pytho n corresponds to gmane.comp.pyth on.general.
do you know which one corresponds to comp.lang.perl. misc?
there's no .misc or .general...

i thought there a strick like preceding a line by -- or something that
prevents google from reformating the post.

I guess that most people use google to post to newsgroups is that they
don't have nntp access. Telling htem to use a newsreader is facetious
and unhelpful.
Google strips leading whitespace. Putting *anything* before indentation
stops the formatting getting messed up. It doesn't stop long lines
being wrapped of course.

Anyone with a normal internet connection has nntp access. What some do not
get from their ISP is 'free' access to a full newsite, and they may not
feel like paying extra $$ to one when they can get free access to
non-binary groups via Google that is better in regards to retention and
search, Google just happens to not work well for posting Python code. What
most of those people may not know is that there is free access to a
restricted news site (gmane) which mirrors a large number of mailing lists,
one of which is the Python mailing list, which mirrors the Python
newsgroup. So I help them by giving them this information. Xah Lee used
the information I shared, as have many other people, and even, in effect,
thanked me for doing so. Gmane also gives a Pythoneer easy access to about
50 specialized Python-related mailing lists (and 1000s not related to
Python).
Telling htem to use a newsreader is facetious and unhelpful.
Telling someone to stop sharing sharing useful information is nasty and
unhelpful. You owe me an apology.

if you have internet access, you have NNTP access. gmane.org provides access
to more than 6,500 mailing lists via NNTP, including all relevant Python forums.

Not if you're behind a censoring proxy that blocks everything except
http. This is a situation many people find themselves in.

Hi,
Has anyone so far been messing accessing / quering the google desktop
database files? It seems it could be the best reflection of one in a
couple of hundred mb, and i intent to unleash some furious queries on
it, when i'd know how to access it. Any suggestion how this could be
done in python? My intention is to apply data mining to the google
desktop database. How about it, who's in for it?
Cheers,

I recently tried out the Google "top coder" contest, as a C++
coder. I noticed immediately that they expected me to know STL.
To which I say, what the fuck?!
I may be missing something, but at what point when learning C++
was I supposed to have picked up STL? I ask because at every
job I've had, and every job interview for that matter, whenever
STL comes up it's not I, but a manager who says effectively
yuck, we don't use that crap.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
