To me this sounds like a big straw man of a "the python community" that does not exist in that form. Things like the packaging system being shortcomings is widely acknowledged, I've very rarely encountered people being dogmatic about "pythonic" code, especially when it just comes to style guide. You've encountered one or two, and are extrapolating to an entire community about that.
Actually that wouldn't be a very efficient solution because pollution is not evenly divided across the world's population. See this map [1] showing CO2 emissions per capita, or this diagram [2] showing CO2 emissions per fertility.

As this article [3] (unfortunately not in English) aptly puts it: "Air travels represents around 5% of the emissions of humanity [4], but 90% of humans have never taken a plane." (the 90% figure is arguably difficult to assess [5]. It comes from an article in French behind a paywall, but other sources [6] show similar numbers).

Finally, CO2 is of course not the only source of pollution. But this map [7] showing meat supply per person shows a similar direction.

QML Creator for Android: Develop QML components anywhere you like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wearyinside.qmlcreator
I'd like to introduce QML Creator, my latest side project. I wrote this program for Android in just 2 weeks, in after-work hours. It is a Qt Quick 2.1 app based on ApplicationWindow with a few C++ fragments injected. This program is intended to help develop QML components right on your mobile device.

Really, this app is not designed to be used for serious development. Rather, it is a fan project for Qt lovers like myself. I often found the need, in the absence of a desktop computer, to show QML's advantages to programers who haven't yet had a chance to appreciate declarative programming. Or, alternatively, if you want to develop QML components and just don't have a desktop around, now you can do it anywhere you like on your mobile device.

The first release includes 5 examples and all the functionality of Qt Quick 2.1. In the near future, I'm going to finish the code highlighting (it's not really working right now, sorry) and also build in some editor skins. Naturally, I'll give you some more examples. And upgrade to 5.2:)

Shpoonkle
http://shpoonkle.com
Shpoonkle is an international legal reverse auction free site and is quickly becoming a global leader in centralizing a free legal marketplace. Our company offers a wide range of services designed to empower people through Shpoonkle - aiming at aiding attorneys and clients, any time, any place, and on any device.

Shpoonkle is not a referral service. The services on the site are currently free to both Attorneys and Clients.

Attorneys are actively connecting and interacting with consumers. Clients are actively seeking help and legal representation on Shpoonkle. The site provides a user friendly interface that removes the intimidation factor that many clients feel when faced with the stress of seeking an attorney. Clients and attorneys register using anonymous usernames, and contact information is not exchanged until the auction is completed and a winning attorney is selected. All contact information is blocked during the auction process. The attorney and client can communicate confidentially during the auction with their posts on the case (similar to the eBay auction model), and are free to detail their experience and background as an attorney on the bid. Bidding attorneys see the competing bids and drive the cost of the service down. Clients are not typically picking the lowest bid, but the one they deem is fair. Client's considerations include the attorneys experience, how they represented themselves during the auction, and other factors individual to each client.

TDD vs. BDD...How and where to start?
About a month ago I switched back to Rails 3 from doing almost entirely PHP (codeigniter) web app coding. I'm loving the speed at which Rails lets me bring things to life, and I've been spending time trying to absorb "good" Ruby practices by reading books like "Metaprogramming Ruby" to get the core fundamentals down.

In order to take my Rails coding to the next level, it appears I need to start incorporating some testing into my apps to make sure things stay resilient as I expand and add features. I understand the core ideas of why test frameworks are good, but I really don't have any idea of which one is best and where to start.

It seems like Test::Unit and RSpec are the two big players for the Ruby world...can anyone share advice about which one to start with and any good resources I could use to get moving in the right direction?

And maybe it could be better that just having a bad words list.

Great CMS's with Native JavaScript API's
I'm looking into CMS's with native JS API's. So far I haven't really found anything that's getting me really excited.

There's one which looks interesting >> http://getcockpit.com/ but the documentation is minimal, and it doesn't have as many features as something like WP (image compression / resizing, etc), but I think that someone with a decent knowledge of PHP could customise it pretty easily and build upon it.

I've used WP with the JSON API plugin before, but there's a lot of extra unneeded stuff in WP like the themes and templating and all the native WP stuff.
Proposition of the Independent Recovery Protocols
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/proposition-of-the-independent-recovery-protocols/
There was a lot of effort invested into research of ideal independent recovery protocol.
The results are mainly negative.

Prop. 1
Independent recovery protocols exist only for single-site failures. There exists no independent recovery
protocol which is resilient to multiple-site failures.

Prop 2.
There exists no nonblocking protocol that is resilient to a network partition if messages are lost when the
partition occurs.

Prop 3.
There exist nonblocking protocols which are resilient to a single network partition if all undeliverable messages
are sent back to the sender
Attacks against XML Digital Signatures & Encryption
http://blog.protogenist.com/?p=262
XML Digital Signatures are indirected signatures. To construct a signature, the content to be signed is canonicalized, digested, and metadata about the content (its location, the digest and canonicalization method) is saved as XML. This XML metadata is then itself canonicalized, digested, and the digest of the metadata is signed to produce the final signature. Key information may optionally be packaged with the signature.The order of operations for signature validation, while unimportant from a cryptographic standpoint, can have a significant impact on whether many of the attacks detailed here are available to anonymous adversaries, or if the attack surface can be authenticated.The first operation of signature validation should be key resolution. Optimally, any KeyInfo attached to the signature can be discarded, and the proper key inferred from context and provided directly by the caller. If the KeyInfo must be resolved from the signature, this resolution must be a distinct step so a trust decision in the key can be made before proceeding
