this is one of many reasons javascript is fucked

Check out the popular PEP 8 style guide for Python. It has a section on comments as well as a lot of other stuff.

Fixed most of it. Your math is just wrong on calculating "express shipping" since it doesn't touch the shipping charge whatsoever.
#!/usr/bin/env pythondef main(): #Prompts user for weight of shipment shipment_weight = float(input("Weight of shipment(lbs): ")) #If weight of shipment is greater than 50, print 'Too heavy' and program ends if shipment_weight > 50: print("\nToo heavy!") return 0 express_shipment = raw_input("Express shipment? ") if str(express_shipment).lower() in ['n','no']: shipment_charge = .50 * shipment_weight elif express_shipment == 'y' or 'yes': shipment_distance = float(input("Distance of shipment(miles): ")) if shipment_distance > 12450: print("Out of range of Earth's surface!") return 0 if shipment_weight <= 3: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 3.00 if shipment_weight > 3 and shipment_weight <= 10: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 6.50 if shipment_weight > 10 and shipment_weight <= 20: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 14.00 if shipment_weight > 20: shipment_charge = (shipment_distance / 200) * 30.00 print "Shipment charge: $%g" % shipment_chargeif __name__ == '__main__': main() The big issue was that you were doing comparisons on strings that don't make sense. You cannot do "if 10 < some_var <= 10" in pretty much any programming language. You have to use compound boolean comparisons.

Yes. You will have to file a 1099, most likely.

I'll take "Not in school, I'd throw this into an IDE and have it print me a stack trace" for $1000, Alex.
 
There's no reason to be able to manually figure out what snippets like this are doing. That's what the compiler is for.

As a general rule: Don't watercool servers. If you don't want it to be loud, don't own a rack server.

Possible, yes. Probable, no. DNS uses TTLs (time to lives) which would make simply editing the DNS useless unless the TTLs on the records were very low, or happened to propagate very quickly. That being said, the TTLs are /usually/ honored by recursive DNS resolvers.
 
As for redirecting the traffic to another host, it depends on if it was SSL traffic or not. If it was SSL, then they'd need the private key for the certificate in order to properly perform a MITM attack.

No.

Uhh. rtorrent supports magnet links. Has for a very long time.
 
$ rtorrent//press backspace//paste magnet link//press enter  
Done.

You're missing the point.  You need to be OS agnostic, there are many great things Windows is used for such as there are many great things Linux and OSx are used for.  It all depends on how the end user feels like using the system and when it comes to performance it depends on what the user is trying to accomplish.  I have had all 3 platforms before, and currently have Windows and Linux.  Windows I use as my daily driver typically because of applications and the driver support for my graphics card.  However I do run Linux on my laptop and server.  Chances are you are just used to Windows because you have grown up using it, but if you learn more about Linux and start using the cli you'll understand the great advantages it has. 

Or, abstracted out, because why should we use a billion cout statements:
#include<iostream>#include<stdio.h>using namespace std;char method;double othernum1, othernum2, result;int main(){ cout << "Please Enter The First Number: "; cin >> othernum1; cout << "Please Enter The Second Number: "; cin >> othernum2; cout << "Please Enter What You Want To Do: "; cin >> method; switch(method) { case '-': result = othernum1 - othernum2; break; case '+': result = othernum1 + othernum2; break; case '/': result = othernum1 / othernum2; break; case '*': result = othernum1 * othernum2; break; default: cout << "command not found!\n"; return 2; }; printf("%g %c %g = %g", othernum1, method, othernum2, result); return 0;}

I'm pretty sure you're just putting a lot of words together in an attempt to sound like you know what you're talking about.

In theory, a cable with better shielding will also be less susceptible to crosstalk and other EM interference. STP cables only really need to be used for long runs and for runs going through outside facing walls, or if they're being run outside.

If you want to get technical, it's x86_64, as that's the instruction set used.

It's so important, not only for jobs when you're young, but when you're getting into a career too. If you don't know how to do something, or have questions -- just ask your manager/boss. If you try to sound smart and pretend you know what you're talking about, I'm going to assume you know exactly what you're doing and let you go. I don't like to micromanage someone that is confident in their abilities. But false confidence and lying will get you nowhere.
