list

I know we're all too smart and diligent to let our computers become infected with this malware but just in case there was anyone wandering around out there in cyberspace who doesn't have a clue, here is a link an article outlining the problem...

In Python, I have contructed a list where members of the list are objects. Now I want to remove a single object from this list. I can't get a reference to that object. Here is an example: class Student(object): # Student object .......name = '' .......def __init__(self, name): #...

I recently downloaded the Zotero Firefox plug-in. It is a citation manager which can scrape bibliographic data from any site for which it has a "translator." It also has a generic template to create a citation for any web page you want to save, and the ability to add notes and attachments to any...

The Economist just published a new "Democracy Index," in which it ranks 167 countries around the world according to their degree of democracy. The report Here's the top 5: 1. Sweden 2. Iceland 3. Netherlands 4. Norway 5. Denmark Notice any pattern? :)

Who are the public arab skeptics? Their equivalents of Randi, Dawkins, etc.? If they have blogs or websites, please post them. And please don't clutter up this thread with negative or irrelevant stuff. Thanks.

I wanted to kind of put my feelers out and see if there is an idea like this already out there on the Internet. If not, I think there should be. As you all know there's a group out there called the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, who are academics, students, etc., who supposedly have relevant...

I'm sure I can download a boring spreadsheet about it. But I was wondering, if there is, or if I should start a more graphical presentation of government spending. Like an expandable pie chart in which you can zoom in to "Healthcare" or "Military" sections are see the itemization. I think it...

It seems the Magna Carta topped the polls for what should be the day to celebrate being British: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/5028496.stm It beat out some World War II dates. Do any of the many UK posters agree or not?

I hope the mods make this a sticky. In honour of Kilik, I think we ought to make a big list of all the things that Science has brought to our lives. One item per post, let's see how big we can make the list. Hopefully it will never end. Format it like so: Science kicks ass because...... I'll...

OK, this is not really an easy one, not if you try to come up with an honest list. I thought at first it should be one, but with farther thought the number went to five. The person on the list must not be a loved one gone, or a friend, which also in some ways can be a loved one; you can make...

the teachers at school are ofcourse all over the newest "fad" in dieting. Low glycemic foods. Problem is, no one can list more than 2... sigh... so anyone got a list for the next diet no one will lose any weight on?

BRAC = Base Realignment And Closure. This is what the Pentagon wants to do in regards to closing excess military bases and realigning the workforce. You can see the entire list here. (Note, you will have to have Adobe reader installed, it's a pdf file). I'm most interested in that the last...

Why didn't Hitler make a list? Suppose that all Jews under Hitler's control had been tested and the smartest two percent had been selected to live and reproduce. Then wouldn't Hitler's list have been bigger than Schindler's list? Wouldn't that have been more eugenic than the survival of some...

I just realized that I would be an absolutely perfect subject for a psychic to “read” and just see how close their “guess” is. The past year and a half has been very dramatic for my family Two terrible illnesses, one dramatic recovery, one that didn’t; life changing surgery All the...

I'll start. I have a Standards Meeting (ISO/JTC1/SC29/WG11-Audio) that starts, effectively, on that Sunday. It's in Hong Kong. I have to be concious to face a whole room full of people who are presently way put out with the USA and not very happy who I represent corporately either, so no way...

Is there a utility that can read a text file with delimited filenames and then auto-select these filenames if they exist in the same directory ? Then one could drag and drop the files to another dir, a burner app, etc. I'm about to write such a util myself but I thought that someone might...

Well, I have been hunting for a list of applicants denied and approved for faith-based funding. However, I have not been able to find anything. I also asked help from Americans United for Separation of Church and State, but they said that it is a very hard thing to find and that they have been...

From St. Petersburg Times: Woo hoo! No repeat of 2000! Has the "media watchdog" finally done its job for once?

Has any one ever tried to list all the factions, subfactions and subsubfactions of the major religions. Christianity goes to what? Catholicism? Protestants? Aren't their protestant catholics? Where do Baptists fit in are they protestants? Then you can break baptists down into Freewill and...

JE-fan(atic)s often point to the 3-year waiting list as evidence that JE is real - for why else would he be so popular? He also brags about it himself, for the very same reason. Think again. JE describes in his upcoming book "After Life" that he has contacted Aaliyah, who died two years ago...

Whether you approved of the war or not, if true, this has to be a good thing...a little like capturing Himmler or Goering.....if the bodies in the pits across Iraq are any indication, this is not a nice guy...

Speaker/Guest wish list for the next Amazing Meeting - I had a great time at the Amazing Meeting. I enjoyed most all the speakers, especially Phil Plait and Michael Shermer. I am looking forward to next year's AM and I thought it might be cool to start a wish list of potential speakers...
