  1. Wrong question on Consequences of a Solution to NP Complete Problems? · · Score: 1

    The qustion should be: prove that there is no such algorithm. But because that prove does not exist yet, you can also give a counter prove by finding one.

    Instinctivly you could say no such algorithm exists, but you only need to prove it.

    How little bandwith do they have if 22.5Mbps matters?

    I think there is "a circulating hot-water system" in my parents house. The floor in the bathrooms are always hot and the cold water tap gives warm water for about 5 minutes.

  5. Re:DOS Based Windows on MS DOS: A Eulogy · · Score: 1

    Win95 does not run on top of dos.
    A Call to ReadFile() is not converted to some sort of int21.

    Win95 is only loaded after msdos, the same as loadlin.exe loads linux.

    the bootloader of win95 first loads msdos which starts win.com which loads the vmm. The only reason this is done, is for backwards compatability. Like loading your ms-dos sound card drivers, and starting scandisk or ndd.

    with winME, the bootloader loads the vmm immediately, and you get shorter boot time.

  11. Word Perfect on Second Thoughts: Microsoft on Trial · · Score: 1
    If you wrote something with the latest version of Word Perfect, you can't open it in Word Perfect 4.2
    Word Perfect is a bad example. The latest version is 2000. It is backwards compatible with version 6. That is the first version they made for windows 3.1. Version 4.2 is like 20 years old.

    The OS unit wouldn't be very powerfull if the apps unit would port their software to linux.
