Today I found a method to convert Python lists into a dictionary with values as functions of the list items, which is the most helpful piece of code I have come across in a long time. It goes like this:

dict = dict((i, func(i)) for i in list)

Super useful. Also, reflecting on 2009, the year that was, hackers use brute-force and distributed methods to crack the signing keys for Texas Instrument calculators. The amusing part is that TI are sending DMCA takedown requests to all websites hosting the keys in an attempt to (wait for it) prevent users installing their own software on a 6MHz calculator. In support of their ailing legal team, I hereby present readers with a Swedish-hosted link to said keys, the act of which is apparently illegal. Of course, while the link may be beneficial to terrorists wanting to simulate nuclear explosions and email Niger Re: more yellowcake, it may also be genuinely useful to those enthusiasts wanting to port WoW to their TI-83. However lofty your goals may be, I wish you the best of luck.
