It looks like a spelling error or misunderstanding,flaunting and flouting are pronounced differently. or at least where I come from they are. flouting being like OUTing and flaunting being like haunting.
flaunting could even be the correct word if they mean 'wide-spread showing off and telling everyone that it can be done' not 'wide-spread breaking of the rules'
I'm going with flounting as a compromise between the two.
Wouldn't quantum computers help to solve the minefield problem, or prohaps the traveling sales man problem.
minefield can be represented as a sudo logic statement like so if you had
0 2 b
0 3 c
A 2 d as a sample the logic would be
(B & C) & ( ( C & D ) | (A & D) | (C & A)) & ((B & C & D ) | ( A & C & B ) | (C & D & A ) | ( D & A & B ) )
you can run this and produce a truth table for the pattern. which you can use to work out where the mines are, where they arn't and where they might be.

'geography by national geographic', hmmm, i've seen some of those national geographic programes, there a bit WASP if you ask me and thats one of the problems I have with a lot of schooling.
If I had kids, I would probably homeschool too, at least for the earlier years. Mailny beacuse I had bad experiances at school (maily teaching methods!).
Having thought about this for a while, and bringing up my younger brothers and sisters (i have 6 of them!) here's my thoughts.
1: decide of a few core sobjects you belive that your child should learn and search for material on those subjects.
2: Make sure that you pick a broad range of education, you don't have to go too deep into every topic/area. Include things like art, music, hand crafts, social sciences as well as the more academic subjects.
3: Find something you always wanted to learn at school and learn it with your child, you should be a quicker learner and it wil be fun for both of you.(that'd be spelling and co for me!)
4: most importantly make everything as fun as possible. Ancient history (3000 years - 300 years ago) is very easy to make into a fun subject and you don't have to worry about ofending anyone when you talk about alixander the great going on a rampage all over asia minor, or some of the stupid things they done in the crusades.
I hope it works out well, you child will probably thank you for it in the future!
too much fruit is bad, you get 'the trots' and there's too much acid in a lot of fruit.
basicly were omnivores and should eat a fair ballance of meat and veg, some races are more taylord to eating vegatables and have problems with fat e.g. asian indians and some are more meat eaters e.g. eskimos. Europeans are more omnivourous, there's not enough veg/fruit/nuts to be vegetarian, animals are good storing food until you nead it (and eat them!).
The post was finish, most arguments applied to meat production can also be applied to the production of non-meat products.
Does a carrot have buda nature? some plants send out chemical signals when they are over grazed that cause other plants to produce toxins in there leaves, many plants will wither and die if treated badly, many plants never get to reproduce which is there general perpos. Now are the plants tortured?
All the waste, pertersides and chemicals in the environment etc... genetic modification applied to plants, all the land that's cleared to grow crops, and remember DDT?
Because plants don't make noises or look cute and fluffy farmers can get away will a hell of a lot more when growing them.
If we were suited to eat vegetables we wouldn't need to cook them either, we would have different teeth, a longer digestive tract etc.....
There are lots of meats you don't need to cook, Beef, no cooking required. Lamb, can be easily dried out Fish, Pork (not to bad except for the odd bit of salmonella and it goes off quick, I've never died from eating raw pork)
And Vedge that needs cooking, Rice (very nasty if not cooked properly!) Lots of beans (pinto, kidney etc...) Rhubarb, etc......
the reason "plant rights activists" don't like the vegetable and grain industrys is that they operate under the "black box" paradigm: here's a field, you put in food, water, and perstesides, and you get out plants and excrement. (Actually, a whole lot of excrement, which we'll get to later). The question is how to turn the most food into the most vegetable using the least square footage -- and the answer is one that treats the plants, animans and the envoronment in less than favorable conditions. But let's not consider whether plants live in painful conditions for the months before they die (who cares), but look only at the environmental impact of this scheme. Viz....
I had a simila plan to kill off the BSA, Construct a worm/virus with a load of keygens that goes around changing all the software licences it finds, the BSA wouldn't be able to work out what was licensed and what wasn't.
You could do the same for media, change all the keys, once you've done that everything would be buggered.
"the only reason the GPL is enforceable is that exists within a capitalist system", this is a bit of a rhetorical hypothesis,The only reason GPL exists is because we have a system that enforces ownership.If everywhere was communist then there would be no need for GPL.
If I am given some GPL'd code (assuming it wasn't stolen by whoever gave it to me!) I can give the code away to all and sundry, making it effectively completely public. The person who gave me the code may not have intended this to happen, in which case they should have chosen a different licence.
On the other hand Public domain or BSD means that the intermediary could change the license to whatever they please and prevent me from giving the code away.

If your software(anything) is well designed from the beginning, the design should help you organise the development, testing etc... into hieratical chunks, giving you a clear communications and management path.
A quick example, Company X want's to produce a text editor. The initial design process is set up, at this point all the design includes is a text editor project and a couple of managers and a design consultant.
The text editor project is broken down into different points of discovery so that they can find out what the text editor has to do.
Each sub-section can be micro-managed and reported back to the root project manager.
The process can be repeated right down to the function implenentation level.
Of corse all kinds of other information can be tacked onto the tree, documentation, time management, ETA's, bugs, code reviews,configuration management, test harnises etc...
The system also provides all the matrices you could ever want on things like:- What are the dependancies of a node, What's holding a node up, Where did we go wrong, Where didn't we go wrong, What's the ETA for the whole project, Who produces fast but buggy code, Who produces clean code, Who's the king of the bug fixers, Who's great at reviewing code and locating bugs, who's good at design.
I recon you could manage a project with a few thousand people this way, with little overheads.
I just wish Linus would do this better with the Kernel.

I'm not going into this one again,
If you allow IP then
copyright ========= capatilism.
Basicly there is nothing more capatilist than copyright and ownership.
DMCA is pure unadulterated capatilism like it or not.
It looks like a spelling error or misunderstanding ,flaunting and flouting are pronounced differently. or at least where I come from they are.
flouting being like OUTing
and
flaunting being like haunting.
flaunting could even be the correct word if they mean 'wide-spread showing off and telling everyone that it can be done'
not
'wide-spread breaking of the rules'
I'm going with
flounting as a compromise between the two.
The minefield problem is helpfull in AI for cause and effect,
when a and b are true X happens
when c and b are true X happens
but when
a and c are true X doesn't happen.
run in reverse if X happens what do you expect a b and c to be. (kind of factoring X into a b and c)
you could possibly extend the principle to genetics but probably not.
Would it be KLEZ or the OS from Redmond?
Wouldn't quantum computers help to solve the minefield problem, or prohaps the traveling sales man problem.

Well here goes,
Using an example from the thread.
Say you have a channel in an image where some consecutive bytes run like this.
53351221 (in base 10) they could be compressed to
398 and 456
398 and 456 could be represented by there order (e.g. 398 is the nth root number) which would be 398, 456
the compressed result may be somthing like
35 , 39
you would decompress by finding the 35'th and 39'th root numbers and doing a reverse + add until a palidrome is reached.
There are probably far too few numbers that this method would work for to make compression praticle but it's still an interesting possiblilty.
'geography by national geographic',
hmmm, i've seen some of those national geographic programes, there a bit WASP if you ask me and thats one of the problems I have with a lot of schooling.
Why not?
if you find a palindrome! in say an image that can be produced from a far smaller number you could use it as a compression method.
Could you use this process for compression? numbers that are palindromes could be expressed as the smallest root number.
The reason for testing brain-waves is to ditect those who havn't been brain washed.
I'm sure you doctor would like to have better handwriting too.
Most of my teachers couldn't spell either, and my gramdma was a teacher for 20 odd years, i wouldn't call her that bright either.
We all no what happens when you make assumptions?
