That being said, I stumbled upon a pub where smoking is allowed last week. \o/ Germany!


We still have a few bars out here where you can still smoke. All most all of the Irish Pubs and a few grimy bars.

Still it is not normal any more.

Smoking indoors, **** yeah!

I miss the good old days where you could drink your beer while enjoying a smoke. Now you have to go outside and freeze your *** off, unless you can find one of the small local shops that still don't give a **** about stupid rules.

Mankind has lit vegetation on fire and inhaled the fumes for millenniums. Why stop now?

To be fair, when I was at my mum's I was suddenly allowed to smoke at the computer. The amount I smoked increased by a factor of... 3 or so. And I was already smoking too much.

You should quit smoking, smoking is bad for you.

I don't smoke indoors at home, mostly because the atmosphere would be horrible. And I understand that some pub/bar owners want to restrict smoking in their establishments for the same reason. What I'm not following is the blanket restriction they made.

They could've just left it to the owners to decide. Give people the choice at least.

If you give people the choice every pub is a smoking pub because so many people smoke.
(And the smell of beer and sweat is worse than that of cigarette smoke)

I think in Germany the law is that any pub above a certain size needs to provide a non-smoking area. If they're smaller, it's their choice, and if they're large enough to have to, they can still have two areas, and still, most don't.

In Australia, smoking is now banned in all pubs, clubs & restaurants. Some have a designated outdoor area for it though. Going out is so much nicer now. I remember coming home from the pub in the early hours, having and shower & brushing my teeth then waking up and my pillow smelt of smoke from my breath - and I hadn't been smoking, just breathing in all the other peoples smoke.

Perhaps it's in my mind, but I also feel better in the morning after a night out now. Maybe my liver had to work harder to process all the crap from the 2nd hand smoke before as well?

I <3 python.

So easy to read and edit, even for those of us who aren't very good at that stuff.

I'm currently facing a problem with it. The funny thing is that other people have gotten the same wrong answer in Haskell, so I'm thinking it's not a Python mistake, although if this goes on much longer I will just try to do it in C++ just to get the answer.

The error reporting in there can dive me kinda nuts at times. Just the other day I left an extra '[' in a list, and the error message pointed me to the use_list line, instead of highlighting the extra bracket.

It's the type of thing that takes some of us a few extra minutes to figure out. Smiley: frown

F5 runs the program from IDLE. Smiley: thumbsup

Seriously, I'm terrible with it. The only reason I know anything at all is because all our scripts in the lab are written in it. Biopython apparently is a nice suite of informatics tools though.

Just ordered a new pc this morning from newegg. It's going to be a huge upgrade from my 3 year old laptop. Twice the processor speed, twice the ram, plus it comes stock with the ATI HD 5450, which we are upgrading to the 5770 for my bf and his video/music editing activities. I am really looking forward to playing WoW on max settings and not having to worry about how many MB of memory my add ons are using... I'm also curious to see if my dps and raid performance in general will improve now that I'm not dealing with terrible frame rates. I sure hope it does. My dps isn't terrible currently, but it could certainly be better, and it's frustrating as hell dying in fire because I didn't move out of it fast enough, when I started moving out as soon as I saw it (or in Magmaw's case, as soon as DBM told me it was coming).

The 5770 is comparable with what I have in my laptop, I think.
I'm so glad there's decent drivers available, ATI's driver support generally seems to be kind of bad.

Wait until you work on a project where some of your python source intends to use spaces for whitespace and some tabs, and there's rampant cutting-and-pasting in between...

[Unlike many other languages, where indentation is just for readability, in Python, it /matters/, as that's how you indicate scoping. When you start mixing spaces and tabs, it's no longer clear what's at what level, and if you get it wrong, it barfs at runtime. And a lot of text editors don't even make it clear what's a space and what's a tab.]

Ugh so true...

Actually my biggest pet peeve is when stuff is sent to me from a mac OS. Several of the programs we run here don't properly process some of the end-of-line characters then. Sequences set clipped, and headaches abound. Smiley: frown

This.

All this talk about Python that isn't Monty Python and C++ is making me rage so hard. Like a madman! Smiley: mad

If people don't stop soon, I'll get drunk and derail it.

I'm happy that I'm very tidy with my whitespace usually.


Edit: Also, sorry, people who aren't into this stuff!
