This is more commonly known as Mancala in the US.
An adaptation (simplified) of the game was used as a problem in last year's International Olympiad in Informatics: see the description of the problem here. For a description of how to solve it efficiently, see this booklet.

"AOL's actions are unprecedented and completely anti-consumer," said Microsoft spokesman Vivek Varma. "AOL is paying [computer makers] to eliminate consumer choice, forcing people to select the most expensive service in the industry."
"I'm still not exactly clued in as to why we're back online, but hey, we are. Sometime saturday morning our Cisco router melted down. Ordinarily this would only be the end of the world, but none of our qualified personel were available to fix it. And when our qualified personel arrived, we discovered that she wasn't actuually as qualified as we had hoped. Then she quit. Hemos or I will update this story as soon as we know what the hell happened."
I'm still a student, so my word processing needs are limited to papers I write, but I'm sure this would scale easily:
Emacs maximized to fill the screen, with white enlarged text on a black background. One sentence per line, a blank line in between paragraphs. Nothing beats the navigation capabilities - without moving my hands from the rest position, C-f moves forward a character, C-b moves back, M-f moves forward a word, M-b moves back one. C-d to delete a character, M-d to delete a word. C-k to delete the rest of a line. C-p to go to the previous sentence, C-n to go to the next. C-v to move down a screen, M-v to move up. That's only the beginning of what Emacs lets you do. Once your fingers learn the movements, you'll never want to return to Word. There couldn't be anything faster than Emacs' navigation and editing capabilities.
When I want to see what it really looks like, I bring up my xterm, run the file through LaTeX and look at it in Xdvi. To send documents to other people, or print on printers other than mine I convert to pdf.
All formatting is done through LaTex, a simple but extremely powerful formatting language. Take a look at http://www.tug.org/ to find out more about it. You should be able to get this system running under windows, too, if you want to experiment.
take a look at GlobeXplorer - they have satellite views of everywhere in the U.S., although they're best on the west coast. Try putting your street address in, you might be scared.
This is just like how the easiest time for communism to gain support is after a war, during a true economic recession. There couldn't be a better time for us. Let us not waste the chance. What are we waiting for?:)
...when I run a wire from my sound card's digital out to the digital in and hit record? Who cares about the encryption? This is even easier than it was with DVD's because with audio, (unlike video) every person with a sound card has the ability to easily record what's being sent to their speakers. Until they get a decryption processor in the speakers there is no use in encrypting what they're distributing.
Take a look at my school's AUP at http://www.exeter.edu/publications/ebook/datavoice video.html
. Some interesting quotes:
No pseudonymous or anonymous messages may be sent. Students should be careful not to give out personal information over the Internet.
Accessing the accounts and files of others is prohibited.
Students may be held accountable for their actions while off-campus and thus for messages posted from off-campus accounts.
Academy network resources, including all telephone and data lines, are the property of the Academy. The Academy will, to the extent possible, respect privacy of all account holders on the network. However, the Academy is responsible for investigating possible violations of and enforcing all Academy rules governing the network. Academy network users should, therefore, keep in mind that the Academy reserves the right to access any information stored or transmitted over the network.
But nowhere in it does it mention the search of a personal computer. Somehow, last week, on mere suspicion, my and three other kids' computers were seized and held for a few days while the network administrator attempted to track down the source of network troubles. He ultimately failed, but in the process noticed that I was using a different IP address and hostname other than the one I had been assigned. The case was sent to the discipline committee under "Theft of IP address" and I am now on probation for eight weeks. My dorm room's port was activated "with restrictions" yesterday, and they now want me to e-mail them a list of every program I want to download so that they can verify it. Was this even legal? What can I do to stop something like this from happening in the future?
I've honestly never had a comp sci teacher who I didn't know more than walking into the course. None of them have ever wanted to accept this, so I haven't gotten much from the courses I've taken. I'm still in high school, so I'm expecting this to change at college. To those of you who are in / have gone through college, do you ever find professors who don't know what they're doing?
Credit for everything I know goes to the internet. Reading others' code is probably the biggest source, but there are others such as documentation and IRC. I have no books.
Here at Project Mayo, we want the job done right. Project Mayo is the heir to DivX;-). Our members include the creators of DivX;-), and we're using that talent to solve the problems standing between today's Internet and where broadband video ought to be. Some of the technologies we're developing are a Big Deal and will take some time. So be patient. But soon, we will start releasing tools and applications for the community to kick around. Then, when all the pieces are in place, we will launch our official site and our true identity, and there will be much rejoicing. Stay tuned.
Doesn't look like it's going to be open source, but it could definitely cause some troubles for 3ivx if it competes.
Most slashdotters who contributed to the list were doing it only to make others happy by making them not have to work too hard to make slashdotters happy:-)
Update @ 12/1/00: Better late than never - despite missing their stated deadline for a solution, America Online has managed to put a stop to the theft of Instant Messenger subscriber screen names, according to information received by Inside-AOL.com. We hope that their fix will prove to be a lasting one, and find it greatly satisfying to see that even the largest of companies cannot ignore public pressure indefinitely.
besides the fact that the installer is one of those downloaders, is the fact that you get to watch flashing advertisements while you download. They're kind of small unfortunately.
...whether HavenCo has considered setting up a service with all of these features. They would be in a unique position to support privacy because governments couldn't pressure them. They'd probably have very good reliability too.
