Ask HN: Recommendations for books about Django and/or python development
I've recently started to play around with python and Django and was wondering if anyone could recommend any good Django books.I don't have a problem using online documentation and wikia's, but I just prefer the tactile sensation of using books.Oh and I'm python/Django noob. But, I've been developing for the last 6 odd years. (C family of languages)

I'm not sure if a virtual machine (VM ware player) allows you to have direct access to your graphics hardware. I think VMware workstation allows you to use the hosts video card. But is only supports acceleration for OpenGL.
Besides, this makes justifying PC gaming and the PC as a games platform even more difficult. Especially considering that the xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have already had this game for a while and don't have this DRM system.
Shame, seems like a good game.

Re:Ask HN: Anybody here active on folding at home ?

Whenever I go for a walk, I normally leave folding@home running. If you have a particularly powerful GPU you can run folding@home using your GPU, which yields better results. If you're interested in GPU folding, I would recommend checking out Bit-techs features on folding
