      @pjft Thanks for your reply. I wrote a few basic baaaaaasic python programs and had some fun with it, but don't like that you can't execute those programs without installing python for some reason.

        I agree is @pjft. I have also never really programmed in Python but I took Basic, VisualBasic, C, C++ and Java classes way back in college but didn't really use any of it except for some VisualBasic. I think it would be fun to learn Python so you can write some cool things for the Raspberry Pi.

                      I'll start reading these books when I stop procrastinating and learn how to program.

                                @backstander fun fact: I used wireshark a lot when trying to discover how official RetroAchievements emulators talk with the server.

                                It is a really handy tool.

                                        @mattrixk I'm pretty sure that's a trap for them to identify secret agents out there and pass their information to the FBI.

                                        Same as last week's free ebook "How to commit genocide in 10 easy steps" and "Conquering the world for dummies".

                                            Conquering the world for dummies

                                            Wow! I'm amazed about how many books of this type exist!

                                            Examples:

                                            geek

                                            nation

                                            And these must be the better ones:

                                            burns

                                            stewie

                                            Damn! I googled about this! Now FBI is watching my steps on the web!! 😱
