I can't find the location of the clue "mickey, donald and the rest of the gang" I've looked at Disneyland and Disney World, but I can't find it. Because there aren't many clues, this one keeps popping up and keeping me from finishing
On the Berkeley site, they say that one solution takes 27-28 years. The solution that everyone has been talking about here is the one where there is a leader and 99 followers. Each time a follower sees the bulb off, he will turn the bulb on if he hasn't turned it on already. The leader will always turn the bulb off when it is on. When the leader turns it off 99 times, he knows that everyone has visited the room. I ran a simulation using this algorithm and it takes on average about 10440 days, or 28.6 years. This has to be the 27-28 years solution that he mentions everyone comes up with. Can anyone come up with a solution in the 4000 day ballpark? I haven't been able to come up with it yet. I've been trying to think of a way to allow the followers to turn the bulb on and off, but I can't come up with anything that will always work.
I felt really bad because it took me about 30 roles and 20 minutes to figure it out. I feel really bad. I eventually figured out that it was something visual, but I solved it before I realized how it related to the name.
I haven't heard too much about bad blood between Robotics Faculty at CMU. I do know that Red Wittaker is a real slave driver. Someone I know quit working on Sandstorm because he didn't like Red. Another person I knew kept working even though he knew that he wouldn't be sleeping at all for about 2 years. I also know that there's some bad blood between Illah Nourbakhsh and Howie Choset. Illah's a great guy and Howie is a real asshole. Anyone who's taken robotics classes at CMU knows what I'm talking about.
I don't know the official time for TerraMax, but I do know that it was over 10 hours. They wouldn't have been eligible for a prize even if nobody else had finished. Still it's impressive that a 16 ton truck was able to get through beer bottle pass.
About 15 minutes ago, DARPA's web site listed the top three as having gone about 100 miles each, now it bumped their milage down by about 10 miles. Anybody else notice this? At least they are still making progress on the map.
As of now, 3 teams have gone over 100 miles and 11 other teams are still going. I don't think any of the people on those teams would attribute their success to luck. Teams will complete the course today.
H1lander, Stanley, and Sandstorm are all moving at about the same speed. It is like their plans are all the same. Maybe they are all moving at the course limits. Anybody know?
It does work sometimes in Kansas. The governor, Kathleen Sebelius, is a Democrat. She was elected in a heavily Republican state (~60% Bush) because the Republicans nominated an extremist. Moderate Republicans elected her because they don't want someone who will try to ban all abortion and teach Creationism in schools. . .

Database development is done on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. A few years ago Oracle made the switch from Solaris. Porting stuff to Windows is a bitch. I'm doing it right now in another division at Oracle. So Linux support will be very good, since it is the development platform.
I just watched Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars movie last night and I learned that the Eidelons took humans from earth 27,000 years ago and they eventually became the Peacekeepers. That's when they stopped sharing earth.
I sent them a message about this last night using their feedback form. I see that they have now changed it in the article. They no longer report the percentage drop in temperature.
I remember seeing a TV show a year or two ago where they were saying an IP address and 2 of the numbers were greater than 255. I think it might have been Alias. Speaking of Math on TV shows, in one of the first two seasons of Alias, Sydney has to travel 2 miles through a tunnel so she doesn't get burned alive by the rocket exhaust. Marshall gives her a rocket sled that can go 150 MPH and tells her that she can make it in the required 12 seconds. I think the idiot doing the math just divided by 2 instead of multiplying by it. Somehow, she didn't get burned up.
I've read through about the first 25 opinions and I'm really shocked that people think that this some big power grab and that this is one step away from Bush becoming a dictator. People serously seem think that we need a violent overthrow of the government! Bush was elected by a popular vote. He has constitutional power to appoint the people he wants. For all of those who complain of rubberstamping, I want one person to tell me why Bush should appoint people who disagree with him. It makes no sense. When Clinton was president, I don't remember people saying that he should appoint people who disagree with him. People didn't say that they were concerned that Clinton had appointed people who agreed with him.
He's an idiot? You've got to be kidding me. You are calling the Supreme Court a bunch of activist judges! At least they weren't rewriting Florida election law after the election. The first decision nullified a Florida supreme court decision to change the way votes were counted by a 9-0 vote! 9-0! Just try to tell me that they are all Bush supporters. There was also a 7-2 vote that declared the selective recounts unconstitutional. The 5-4 decision only ruled that the recount business has to end because there wasn't enough time to count the votes before the electors were chosen.
Why does Google need to pay at all? Google is an American company and it is a French court. What's France going to do, block Google? How do they have jurisdiction over Google in the first place?
You are way off base when you talk about overclocking. Overclocking will already void the warranty of both Intel and AMD processors. On recent AMD processors, you can lower the multiplier, but not raise it. For Intel processors, you can overclock them, but you have to do it by increasing the FSB. Many people run P4 2.4C procs at 3.0Ghz by overclocking the FSB from 200 to 250 or even higher.
In the game I get stuck after I enter the large 2-story room that contains the first monsters bigger than the ones you can kill with 2 shots. The door opens and I see a new gun, but there is an invisible force field of some kind and neither me nor the monsters can get through it. I tried shooting it, but I can't get through.
Has anybody gotten past this?
Lots of people said it crashed their system or ran slow, but it worked find on my Barton 2500@10.5x215 with a Radeon 9600 Pro and 512MB RAM.
About 96 bits, from the article: Every molecule on Earth is what the MIT boys said Lets do some math. From Avagadro's number, 6.022E23 molecules per mole. There are 22.4 liters per mole of an ideal gas at STP. There are 1000 liters per cubic meter. 2^96 molecules * (1 mole / 6.022E23 molecules) * (22.4 liters / mole) * (1 m^3 / 1000 liter^3) = 2947 m^3 2947 m^3 is about 14.34 meters cubed. There aren't even enough tags for every air molecule in an average sized building. Lets do the calculations again, but this time for water: 2^96 molecules * (1 mole / 6.022E23 molecules) * (.018Kg / mole) = 2368 Kg of water. That's only 2.368 m^3 of water. I've seen aquariums larger than that!
Those MIT boys should get their facts right.
Because there are lots of comparisons to the 128 bits from IPv6, that would allow the tagging of all air molecules within about 1 foot of the earth's surface! You would need about 165 bits (give or take a few) for every molecule on earth.
Heaven help us if our governments start unnecessary wars to distract us from domestic issues!
Or bomb Sudan and Afghanistan at places at places known not to contain terrorists on the same day that Monica Lewinsky testifies before a Grang Jury so as to get her out of the news?

If you want a good administration interface, use Enterprise Manager. In fact, Oracle just released a new version: 10gR2.

I have no complaints about changing Boomer to a woman. She is HOT!

I saw an article a few months ago saying that AMD outsold Intel in the retail channel. Of course, Intel still dominates in selling the OEMs.
