You can think of our search as randomly trying millions of possibilities and hoping for the best. The reason it's so fast is that we order the random attempts very cleverly and tend to find the answer fast if it is indeed solvable. The algorithm usually terminates because it finds a match or times out; rarely does it exhaust the search space in time. The actual complexity of our system is roughly O(N choose 4) where N is the number of stars in the image. Interestingly, this is polynomial, roughly O(N^4), though probably closer to O(N^5) once verification is added.
In summary: the astrometry problem is not NP-hard when approached like we do.

Where exactly is proof that this really happened? All I see is a bunch of links to digitalconsumer.org, some government sites, and nothing substantiating any email from anyone.
Don't get me wrong, I dislike the MPAA as much as the next guy, but still, this is pretty unjournalistic. Even submitted by an AC? With email on the frontpage of/.? Looks like someone has a bone to pick with this guy.

OT: Wacom tablet support under XFree 4.0.1?

Gimp 1.2.0 Released

I have a ArtPad II. Previously, under RedHat 6 (XFree 3.3.5), I had it working all good and peachy. However it doesn't work now that I've switched to RedHat 7.
IPV6 is entirely software. At one point, I had IPV6 going on my home lan, but went back to IPV4 for convience. The worst thing that could happen would be a ROM upgrade. If they have flash memory, flashing it would fix it.
Personally, I feel that employers should be responsible for providing at least ergonomic input devices. It should be no different than if you were to go to an office, where the employee can sue if they get carpel tunnell syndrome, or other RSI. If the employer is required to provide these ergonomic input devices, then the amount of lawsuits can be reduced, and potential suffering on the part of the employee is reduced.
The thought of paying for a $400 US Maltron keyboard makes me feel ill. I'm typing on a Logitech NewTouch keyboard, but I still experience wrist pain. The employer should be responsible for this expense.
I still don't totally get this. Would you use it to compose music, and recored it to.wav or.mp3 or whatever for distribution? (i.e. Cakewalk or Cubase) Or is it used at concerts to mix existing peices in realtime? Or both?
Any users of the original Max care to comment on it's usage, and where they have used it?

OH MY GOD YES.
It has to be the biggest piece of SHIT ever.
Amen.
Since 1995.
Mirabilis wasn't first.
What ever happened to prior art?

In XF86Config-4 I have:
Under Module:
Load "wacom"
Then later,
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "ArtPadII"
Driver "wacom"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "BaudRate" "9600"
EndSection
Why does this not work?
Now that the gimp has better tablet support, I'd love to make the switch from Photoshop.
*sigh* I just wish it had better text capabilities. (Like in Photoshop 6)
Thanks, Keir
Sorry buddy, you're wrong.
IPV6 is entirely software. At one point, I had IPV6 going on my home lan, but went back to IPV4 for convience. The worst thing that could happen would be a ROM upgrade. If they have flash memory, flashing it would fix it.
It doesn't work because 'direc' variable that you create is meaningless.
What you want to use is os.chdir.
>>> import os
>>> direct = '/etc'
>>> files = os.listdi>>> os.chdir(direct)
>>> f = open(files[7])
>>> f
So there you have it.

I second that!
Having a 'reject news' page would be very cool, seeing as how not everyone has the same opinion about what should appear on the front page.
Perhaps there could be a voting system, so that articles that Hemos/CmdrTaco/etc don't want can be voted into the main page.
