Same with stochastic models. They way they are generally used is to compute some kind of expected value which tends to be one number. There are assumptions put into the model: the distribution etc...
If the distance from article A to B is n, then the distance from B to A is at most 2n.
Proof: Because every page has a "What links here" page we can walk backwards in twice as many steps. There could be a shorter path which is why the bound is not strict.
One of the reasons textbooks cost so much is because professors' salaries are bad. There is a very very good incentive for a professor to charge a lot for their book.
Also I am not too keen on the lower cost electronic versions of the books unless the publishers are monitored carefully. The electronic editions I have seen cost slightly less than the paper edition, and expire after 6 months. Students then are poorer as a result.
First: American blacks are a very select class. They were drafted into slavery because the qualities they have are the same as required is sport: strength, stamina... This cannot possibly extend to all blacks on the planet.
Second: Also consider that it's one of the economic opportunities they (think) they can get. So a lot more try to enter into the field, and thereby a lot more succeed. The whites generally don't try to enter in those fields, but I am sure if they tried as had as the blacks then there would be a whole lot more.
It pisses me off no end when conclude one race is better than another because of limited observation. And I am sure if you are trying to conclude one race is better than another you are looking for an air of superiority.
What I HATES about conclusions about one race better than another is that you limit opportunities for races, and end up with a self fulfilling prophecy. I was forced to play basketball in high school because of those presumptions and I absolutely sucked rock. Who could have guessed math/computers was my thing. How many more people have been lost because of (sometime subconscious) thoughts like that?
Did you check/confirm with Western Digital? I bought the My Book World edition. It was clearly written "3 year warranty" on the box, but when I registered it it only said 1 year. After raising a stink they changed my online registration warranty to 3 years.
Needless to say, it's my last WD drive. Their service suxk.
I still do not understand why everything is left/right. Reality tends to be complicated and every story has a lot more aspects than left/right (even if you manage to define those two terms).
This is a good example of where the inefficient method (of about 60 moves iirc) is much faster in terms of time. The 25 move solution is elegant but just not worth it in terms of computations, time etc...
This could make a good case study for business schools:-)
No they are not stubborn. Maybe you think keeping up with technology is a good proxy for intellectual growth. A car geek would probably say the same for his favourite hobby.
As people grow older they find other ways to grow intellectually. And a lot of these other ways have nothing to do with technology (un)fortunately. Volunteering at schools and hospitals does not need technology.
Even though Ma Bell was an evil monopoly, one thing the did set the standard for was uptime. The older generation never had a phone failure, that is why it's still expected of landlines at least.
You could try to use something like "Localhost Azureus" for distributed data storage. The only problem will be that it will cost you in terms of processor and network hogging.
Is it cost effective to reclaim that (small) space? Probably not. My suggestion is to realize that no-one tries to save clock cycles any more and maybe this is the way disk storage is probably heading that way.
The rootkit was put on those CDs by Sony/BMG, which is a separate entity that is 50/50 owned by Sony and Bertelsmann (BMG stands for Bertelsmann Music Group).
I was going to mod you down, but here goes.
Even though Sony/BMG is a separate entity it still has the Sony name. It's in their to make sure their name does not get sullied. It's not our job to find out exactly which part belongs to whom.
Also why do corporations not investigate which aspect of a person failed to pay their credit card bill. I'm talking about universal default here (not the best example though). They don't care. As long as your name appears somewhere you are in trouble
Researchers, particularly young ones, do not have much of an option in deciding where to publish. Their tenure, funding, life depends on them publishing in a prestigious journal.
It's not really their choice. The people who can make tenure decisions are deans, but deans tend beancounters who only look at the historical prestige of a journal.
I have looked at the Mass health insurance plan. I may be misunderstanding something, but their idea seems to be to get rid of uninsured by declaring it illegal. The closest equivalent I can think of is to stop New Orleans floods by declaring it illegal for levees to break.
They haven't gone a single step forward in fixing the underlying problem of why healthcare costs so much.
(disclaimer: I live in Mass. and my health insurance has not gone down. In fact it went up)

I think there is a simple to prove theorem:
If the distance from article A to B is n, then the distance from B to A is at most 2n.

The swiss got to the other moons before NASA and mined them clean.
I stand by my theory.
if you get run over at a zebra crossing you'll be easier to see whether you are black or white.
Has there been a severe rationing of mod-points recently?
Perhaps the mod-point crisis is related to the credit-crisis?
You answered your own question: the shareholders trust Microsoft. Fix that and MS will improve.

Two arguments against your position.
First: American blacks are a very select class. They were drafted into slavery because the qualities they have are the same as required is sport: strength, stamina... This cannot possibly extend to all blacks on the planet.
Second: Also consider that it's one of the economic opportunities they (think) they can get. So a lot more try to enter into the field, and thereby a lot more succeed.

Eventually the market would saturate and I am sure Apple economists must have known it. I don't think they are really surprised at the slump.
Nothing to see here..... move along.
what is the minmum possible size/mass of a planet according to the new definition of 'planet'?

Why should I believe them now?

I always wonder why companies make wall warts which won't play with others. Who gains from this? How?

Every time I read a report of this form it always has the underling tone that what men are better at is a debilitating weakness. Why?
Maybe it's hiding behind a barn.
