  1. Drupal has http://drupal.org/project/singlesignon by eat+worms · · Score: 1 · on Social Network Fatigue Coming?

    It enables "Single Sign-Ons" between related Drupal sites on one server with a shared database. I have not integrate http://www.mathpotd.org/ with it -- I think I should.

  2. I started liking Yahoo Search .. by eat+worms · · Score: 1 · on Google Reaches Second-Most Visited Site Status

    Our website http://www.mathpotd.org/ was up about three weeks ago. If we search 'K12 Math Problem of the Day' with Yahoo, the website is listed as the second item. Searching the same phrase with Google, it seems it never lists our website. I guess if you want Goolge list your website, you need money. I become more and more doubt why Google is so 'discriminated' and it is still so popular.

  3. can't find any slashdot-like Java CMS by eat+bugs · · Score: 0 · on Open Source CMS Solutions Based on Java?
    I have been doing Java programming for a long time and I really wanted to use a slashdot-like open source package for my website http://www.mathpotd.org/ (Math Problem of the Day). A Java expert Dennis Sosnoski (http://www.sosnoski.com) thought I needed a forum-like package and initially recommended me Java Forum (http://www.jforum.net). Jforum is a very good package, but it is only for creating forums. Any Java expert here can recommend a slash-dot like Java open source package?

    By the way, I currently use Drupal (http://www.drupal.org) in PHP, it seems it is quite good for my purpose. The drawback for me to use Drupal is I'm very new to PHP.

  4. What K does this problem belong to? by eat+bugs · · Score: 0 · on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero

    If I listed this problem on my http://www.mathpotd.org/ (Math Problem of the Day), should it go to K1-2?

  5. Their beta things in a new area usually suck. by eat+bugs · · Score: 0, Troll · on Microsoft Releases Book Search

    Look at their Microsoft Office Live Basics. It is much worse than many small free open source packages. They depend on they can give every thing free (for a short time): domain names, hostings, etc. I initially wanted to use it for www.mathpotd.org (Math Problem of the Day) and I found I couldn't do anything with it. Now you see www.mathpotd.com is being redirected to www.mathpotd.org -- even the redirection cannot be done nicely -- very ugly.

  6. Re: [OT] for whoever runs mathpotd by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on The Math Behind PageRank
    It would help if problem 11 had the right answer. From the link I've quoted,
    In a high school auditorium, 1 junior and 2 sophomores are seated randomly together in a row. What is the probability that the 2 sophomores are seated next to each other?
    Assuming we're using the standard meanings of "random", "together" and "row", there are exactly 3 combinations (note: there's no need to distinguish between the sophomores as individuals).

    1. J S S = sophomores together
    2. S J S = not together
    3. S S J = sophomores together

    Thus, the correct answer is 2/3. But for some reason, the site insists that the answer is 1/3.

    I asked some math website to put a link to http://www.mathpotd.org/ Math Problem of the Day -- they don't bother to do so. They know the math and use it.
