I remember the day like it was yesterday. Pac Man had finally arrived on the Atari 2600. It was a clear and sunny day, but it was slightly brisk. My dad drove us down to the video store about three miles from our Michigan house. If I remember correctly, the price for the game was $24.99. It was quite expensive for the day, probably equaling a $70 game in today’s market, but it was mine. There *was* no question about it. If you purchase a game, it’s your game… right?
You couldn’t be more wrong. With all the licensing agreements in games today, you only purchase the right to play it. You don’t actually “own” the game.
Today, game designers want total control over the money that comes in for a game. They add in clauses that keep the game from being resold, rented, borrowed, copied, etc. All of the content in the game, including the items you find that are specifically for you, are owned by the software developer. Why, you ask, do they do this? It’s all about the money.
This need for greed started years ago, when people started modifying current games on the market. One of the first games like this was Doom. There were so many third part mods made, but because of licensing agreement, none of these versions were available for resale. The end user, or you, had to purchase Doom before they could even install the mod. None of these “modders” were allowed to make any money off their creation.
Checking to see if a file exists is a two step process in Python. Simply import the module shown below and invoke the isfile function:
import os.path
os.path.isfile(fname)Static variables in Python are created as part of the class declaration. By contrast, instance variables are created as part of a regular method and not a classmethod or staticmethod.
class A:
i=3 # static variable
def dosomethingregularmethod(self):
self.k=4 # instance variable
# to access static variables

Is it possible for anyone to give Microsoft a fair trial? The first half of 2012 is in the history books. Yet the firm still cannot seem to shake the public opinion as The Evil Empire that produces crap code.
I am in a unique position. I joined the orbit of Microsoft in 1973 after the Army decided it didn't need photographers flying around in helicopters in Vietnam anymore. I was sent to Fort Lewis and assigned to 9th Finance because I had a smattering of knowledge about computers. And the Army was going to a computerized payroll system.
Bill and Paul used the University of Washington's VAX PDP computer to create BASIC for the Altair computer. Certainly laughable by today's standards, it is the very roots of the home computer.
Microsoft became successful because it delivered what people wanted.
