FYA: python cell phone is ruby-less

(mostly off-topic)

vertu makes a $310,000US cell phone which has rubies on it. i thought
it was quite interesting that they have a "cheaper" phone ($115,000)
called Python which *doesn't* have rubies:

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is it? This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is also talking about Ruby. So it...

I've been a long-time Perl programmer, though I've not used a boatload of packages nor much of the tacky OO. A couple of years ago, I decided to look into Python and Ruby.

There is an amazing article by paul graham about python, and an even better discussion about it on slashdot. The reason I point this out, is the more I read both articles, the more I realised how we would be mutilating the language with that god forsaken @ decorator. I don't know about the rest of you, but I learned python and fell in love...

I've been thinking (and blogging) about python evangelism since PyCon, as a result of which I created a squidoo lens: http://www.squidoo.com/pythonlogy Imagine my surprise at discovering that this has gone up in rank (by number of views) from # 442,000 or so to #153!

Hi all, I've recently written an HTTP proxy server for the Motorola E815 cell phone, based on Suzuki Hisao's "Tiny HTTP Proxy" (http:// www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/python/proxy/). This cell phone allows free Internet access if you change the default proxy server, but it has a severely buggy HTTP client implementation which will freeze if there's...

I wrote a little something so I could check my current minutes used to see how I was doing for the month. I only get 1,000 minutes, and I have three phones (two other family members share the plan).
