    [SOLVED] Re: Python version question

    Python 2 is used to run pretty much every Python program you're likely to use, because it's still the de facto standard, because the transition takes some work, and you end up with everyone waiting...

  6. [ubuntu] Re: "Software Up to Date" says "Not all updates can be installed"...

    Ubuntu Software Center won't even run. The icon blinks for a few seconds, then nothing.

    I tried removing ia32-libs... no help.
  7. [ubuntu] Re: "Software Up to Date" says "Not all updates can be installed"...

    Thanks... but, that didn't work.

    I should add that there's a little arrow-in-sun icon in the menu bar that, when I click on it, says "Error: BrokenCount > 0". This is another place where it tells...

  12. [SOLVED] Re: What is a good place to learn how to program?

    That's not what he was talking about. He was just making an analogy.

    Also, if the implication is that someone who doesn't like math can still be a good programmer... I disagree. You may not...

    [SOLVED] Re: Why is GMP not working on this code?

    Re: Which language??

    The common term for this is "machine code". It is the lowest level of code (not counting micro-code, but let's not go into that) -- the processor's native language. All other code is ultimately...
  15. [SOLVED] Re: What is a good place to learn how to program?

    Yes. I mean, sure, that's what I did, but that was decades ago. BASIC is mostly obsolete today. Python is beginner-friendly, while being powerful enough to take you as far as you like. All that...
