FAT32 disk right?
Actually, unlike FAT12 and FAT16, FAT32 doesn't place an arbitrary limit on the total number of files/directories in the root.

Because they don't want to limit their customer base perhaps? There are still a lot of web hosts that refuse to upgrade past PHP4, including some big names like Yahoo.It's built on PHP4... WHY?!
So the WTF is that the mailing list is indexed by the (possibly incorrect) date headers on the messages themselves rather than by when the messages were received by the listserver?

There's still a "Netscape" browser?Well, there is if you haven't learned anything about web design in the past 10-something years.
Huh? Netscape wasn't end-of-lifed until earlier this year.
The last release was less than six months ago.
Amazon does this too, although they don't bother to tell you about the length limit.
I discovered this a while back when I by pure chance made a typo at the ninth character of my password and realized I'd done it just as I reflexively hit Enter . . . and was shocked when I was successfully logged in.
Further testing showed that they were discarding everything after the eighth character.
You have to wonder how many people have what they think are strong passwords like "johnsmith2G78_hbn239" when they really have passwords like "johnsmit".

Actually it makes perfect sense to me. I've done something similar myself in PHP.
If the data comes from a webpage POST request, then it should be already in a hash and there's probably no need to use it before calling this function.
It's much more convinient to call a function with only one argument, than to write out 20+ arguments in many places and to make sure that they're in the right order.
What if the client wants an extra field on the form? If this function is used in a lot of places then you would have to add an extra parameter to all those places.
But this way you only need to fix the function definition.
You misunderstand: Python, unlike PHP, has real keyword arguments; there's no need to fake them via a hash. Python always lets you specify your function parameters by name in arbitrary order.
Also, the above function isn't taking a hash as an argument as you seem to think; it's taking a bunch of individual named parameters and mapping them into a hash . . . and then immediately pulling them out into separate variables anyway.
