Thanks for the great reply!
The problem is that when you increase the pain, it also limits your possibilities. I do believe in building a business on desire alone and I believe that all great businesses were built this way.
That's terrible advice -- only mediocre things can be created that way. I believe that we should just have extremely big unstoppable desire to build great things, and only this desire should be a motivation for our work if we are going to create something better.
As I already wrote it would look "fs = [partial(add, i) for i in range(10)]" and it works as expected.
fs = [(lambda n, i=i: i+n) for i in range(10)]
from operator import add
from functools import partial
fs = [partial(add, i) for i in range(10)]Edit: I use the word "love" as in "Aphrodite is the classical Greek goddess of love, sex, and beauty", not love of Jesus as preached by mainstream Christianity.
As I understand, the idea is that market and open source are friendly forces and actually support each other in the long run. The GPL may prevent open-source software from being market-friendly.

Also, I think if you start charging money for premium services and make some features paid-only you will immediately look more serious and increase satisfaction from game for those who pay, it's human nature.
Just my 2 cents.
Linus gives very good reasons for C vs. C++ here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/57643...
I personally don't have anything against C++, it is a perfect solution for some problems, but sometimes C may be a better choice.
Google has this feature, too. But they were late. Everybody already used Yandex at the moment.
"Ask Yandex" ad campaign was very successful: it made "to ask Yandex" in Russian mean the same as "to google" in English.
