  1. solved on Can You Do the Regular Expression Crossword? · · Score: 1

    It took me about an hour to solve it. I printed it out and additionally to filling in letters I marked the cells where I am not 100% sure that I had the correct letter. I had to do some rollbacks of a few marked cells. I'd say it is as hard as a medium sudoku.

  2. If I may be allowed to... on Security Firm VUPEN Claims To Have Hacked Windows 8 and IE10 · · Score: 1

    Even though I lack any surprise in this announcement, and would actually have been surprised if no 0-day had arisen within the first week after release, please kindly allow me to express, and excuse if it may sound a little childish, my first reaction:

    lol

  3. Not as long as we throw away cucumbers on Have We Reached Maximum Sustainable Population Size? · · Score: 1

    Not yet... In germany a lot of vegetables are thrown away these days because nobody buys them, even though they have been tested for EHEC and are secure. So there are still a lot of possibilities for better sharing of the resources that we have on earth.

    the dad of B2B2 is twice as likely to appear in your test group than the other dads, which makes it 14/28 = 1/2

  5. not again on The Tuesday Birthday Problem · · Score: 0

    I've actually seen this before as "child at the window"-problem in a german C++-forum: http://www.c-plusplus.de/forum/viewtopic-var-t-is-115631-and-start-is-0-and-postdays-is-0-and-postorder-is-asc-and-highlight-is-.html

    The thread got 88 pages, probably one of the longest threads ever in that forum. And by the way... the answer is simply 1/2, also for the tuesday-problem, because the probabilities are independent. But it seems very easy to get it wrong at some point.

  6. Re:no skynet tag? on Long-Running Underwater Robot Lost At Sea · · Score: 0

    I, for one, welcome our new underwater robot overlords.

  7. Where's Windows 7? on Microsoft Leaks Details of 128-bit Windows 8 · · Score: 3, Funny

    With Windows 6.1 being Windows 7, does Windows 8 actually mean Windows 7?
