== Defunct reference [41] to defunct JASC software... ==
Since JASC software was bought out by Corel, which proceeded to dismantle Paint Shop Pro (turning it into a mere photo editor), the existing reference (currently {41}) to it found in paragraph titled "Usage" no longer applies. Should that reference be omitted?
If so, can someone explain to me how Wikipedia handles the references number sequences and resequencing?
Does everything get automatically renumbered without skipping any number, or would omission/deletion, leave a gap in the numerical series? [[User:KnowBuddy|KnowBuddy]] ([[User talk:KnowBuddy|talk]]) 17:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
:Reference numbering happens automagically, once you delete or add a < ref > tag-the editor only has to put them there, not figure out in what order they appear in and then order them or anything.

== Succinct poem to python philosophy ==
A poem circulated in the module 'this':
"The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.<br />
Explicit is better than implicit.<br />
Simple is better than complex.<br />
Complex is better than complicated.<br />
Flat is better than nested.<br />
Sparse is better than dense.<br />
Readability counts.<br />
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.<br />
Although practicality beats purity.<br />
Errors should never pass silently.<br />
Unless explicitly silenced.<br />
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.<br />
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.<br />
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.<br />
Now is better than never.<br />
Although never is often better than *right* now.<br />
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.<br />
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.<br />
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!"<br />
