I read the drudge report every day, and have, for years.
And then I read CNN to see what the socialists are saying.
It all balances out.

I think that biggest worry should be the fact that it would have software and it would be hacked (far more fun than hacking people's fridges).
I can see the tabloid headlines already...

After reading this thread, I started reading an article about auto-rooting Android adware and burst out laughing. The robots have already gotten sick of humans, so now they're f**king themselves.

I can't imagine how trying to have sex with the robots I usually manage you can't lose an "important part" trying to you know, discovery channel...

This is possibly the most disturbing thread I've ever read here. LOL!

Surely this would violate Asimov's Third Law, at minimum.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I read an article by some woman who thought that men having sex with robots would some how be demeaning to women.
This what I look like when I don't get it.

Indeed, a lot of newcomers seems to think that way.

Fenestredigitation
Fenestredigitation, the art practiced by Fenestredigitators (or MS Illusionists) is the art of making Windows install on a PC. A skilled Fenestredigitator can start with an unformatted hard drive and transform it into a colorful GUI in less than an hour, and for an encore, reinstall it over and over again half a dozen more times trying to get networking set up.

Done that, done that, OK, I see the servers now, done that, what? No shares? Done that, done that, whaddyamean, "read only"? Done that, done that, Wow, it's dark already? Done that, done that. OK, one final reboot and... Buggrrrr!!!! *&$%$!

You mean after all these years of writing code this is not the correct way. There goes my career

Far too complex for QA, can you provide a summary?

Hi,
I have been looking into Python recently as it seems a lot of the jobs I am looking at require it or another scripting language for hacking out quick tests. I have never really looked or used scripting languages for anything. There seems to be a hold out for Python 2 and no brackets over Python 3 and lots of brackets. I am trying to use the serial ports in it and am finding it odd to get the serial ports I downloaded PySerial yesterday and managed to brake Python 3. Reinstalled today and it appears to know about serial ports (I can set up Baud rate, Stopbits and the like) but can't write to it. Go to various web sites such as StackOverFlow and get confused more, goto Pythons home page 404 meets me! I surrender... >

First, Python 2 is much more popular plus there can be add on compatibility problems with Python 3 which may be the issue.
Python 2 creates ASCII strings by default but Python 3 creates Unicode by default so use <stringname).encode("ascii").
|

Ah, like I said I am new to 'easy' coding. Does PySerial work with Python3? in your opinion which is the best CP like place for Python, I do not wish to anger the Hamsters for asking programming questions.
Thanks for that I have fiddled around and got
my_str = "hello world"
bytes = my_str.encode("ascii")
print(my_str)
It don't blow up anymore!
Cheers Glenn

Q&A is the general place. Also a new Python geek has just started answering them, and appears to really know what he's doing.

Thanks, I can ask the question in Q&A, its just that I hovered over the Quick Answers and the Discussions tab and couldn't see Python.

If you open a Q&A you will notice that the editor does include a code block type for Python.
