  1. too harsh on Bush Commutes Libby's Sentence · · Score: 1

    If Libby's penalty was too harsh, I'm sure that any moment now Bush will also be commuting the sentences of those given twenty-five to life for stealing videotapes and chocolate chip cookies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_strikes_law#Con troversial_results. I might just go snag some CC cookies right now and wait for the announcement on TV.

  2. Re:Non-issue on Google Perks Are Great, But They All Mean Business · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People from an academic background don't tend to share this approach to work. In my experience at least, most PhD students carry their work around with them mentally, even in recreational settings. So I think it's no wonder that Google has lots of perks: Google is loaded with PhDs, PhDs are 'integrators', and integrators work better with perks.

  3. Re:Sudoku Solvers on The Godfather of Sudoku · · Score: 1

    Norvig clearly shows how to combine constraints and search to write a solver. More interesting though is to write a solver that imitates the way people solve sudoku. Such a solver can be used for example to rate the difficulty of a puzzle, something a solver that does brute-force search can never do accurately. [To answer the parent question: Perl.]

  4. Windows or OS X? on Reviewing the Presidential Campaign Websites · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why is /. falling for the horse-race fallacy? It's like asking the question "Which is the best OS: Windows or Mac?" People who have announced or launched exploratory committees include Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul, Tom Tancredo and Tommy Thompson on the Republican side, and Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson on the Democratic side. Do these candidates not have Web sites? Do the Green, Libertarian and Constitution parties not exist?
