    Best Python WebFramework for a Python newb?

    This is what I did. I read a lot through various online and print media, browsed github and other places. Took what I learned and tried to apply it to actual use. I also converted scripts from one language to another.

    Is this good deal? West coast USA

    Hard to say, hows their network & support? You can always find something cheaper, but that doesn't make it a better deal.

    Best Python WebFramework for a Python newb?

    To be honest I wouldn't mess around with a framework until I grasp the concepts of Python. Using a pre-made framework hinders learning. As you end up learning that particular framework rather than learning what the language itself has to offer. With that said, I do like how simple Flask is, but...

    Remote file uploader / sync / offloader

    The simplest method would be to create a shell script that rsync's to some a remote server (preferably one with an optimized file-system). Rsync will handle the bulk of the work with transferring and making sure it get's there for the most part. The bulk of the logic you'd need to write would...

    Mandrill - Anyone using it?

    I've been using it since the beginning of this year, real glad I gave it a shot. If there is one thing I hate debugging, it's email. Care to elaborate? What does sailthru do better than Mandrill?

    American Telco Privacy Non Existent

    To be honest I've never trusted an organization to care about my privacy. I've always considered privacy a personal responsibility. I also can't expect an organization to challenege "authority", whether they are right or wrong.

    Need your advice installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro

    Unless you have stability issues, go with 13.04. Ubuntu 12.04 is more aimed at workstations and/or servers as the software is more stable, but typically out of date. If I were you I would give 13.10 beta a try, it's stable enough to run regularly in my opinion.

    I have not tried any of these, but I have heard a lot about Skrill, Payza (formerly Alertpay), & WePay. Right now I just use PayPal and Stripe.

    FBI lures Tor Users with Malware

    Aside from not spoofing your MAC address, if you're using Windows than you aren't trying to stay hidden. Using TOR or any other similar software isn't going to help.

    The great gun debate thread.

    I've seen drones, but we never used any nor have I been attached to a unit with the, so I can't speak on it's effectiveness. Reportedly it's extremely accurate. You bring up a good point, as "mainstream" technology increased, so has the "black market". Though less evolved I can see other groups...

    The great gun debate thread.

    I would assume. But don't forget about the medevil weaponry. My point was no matter what is available, if someone wants to kill someone, or a large group of people they will literally use rocks. (think catapults). Had I not lived in a place where cops are rarely pratrolling, and on average take...

    The great gun debate thread.

    I was born and raised in Chicago that has/had (it's changing) some of the strictest gun control laws, yet has some of the highest deaths by gun. The people who typically own illegal weapons (assault) are the same people who break the law anyway. It just makes it easier for them to run into to...
