    Ron Paul: Crotch Groped by TSA, Calls for Boycott of Airlines

    Popular misconception. The president is not elected by popular vote but by an electoral college. Some states formally declare that they will vote with the public, others reserve the right to vote as they see fit. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_College_(United_States) Edit: I...

    Python mechanize help

    If you don't care about downloading images, you can ask it to execute javascript for this. For example: html = selenium.magicFunctionToExecuteJavaScript("window.document.documentElement.innerHTML") open('/tmp/whatever.html','w').write(html)

    PS: Since we are talking about it, I pay $200/month in accountant fees for them to do all the work and be my therapists. Also, if it wasn't clear, I have two businesses.

    Day trading as a living should be impossible

    I agree, our costs are high. We used to live on $900/month :-) But really, we live a very good life. I've managed to save 50-75% of my income annually.

    Day trading as a living should be impossible
