I'd like to thank all of you for letting me know what was on your minds, as you should always!
In this article, I'll show you how to send SMS messages with Python. You'll need Python 2.7 or later, urllib and urllib2.

It's been a long journey for Netflix users. At first, it was a rough ride as Netflix struggled to find its place in the homes and hearts of movie watchers everywhere.

When all of your bandwidth is sapped and unable to be used, this is called a denial of service, or a DOS.
