Whether they will steal a scientific paper or not is irrelevant, the point is that the DOJ is not just giving information, it is giving out a set of values and I think that those values are WRONG and that they don't consider a very important aspect of the matter. Besides I don't think that 6 year olds are too young to learn to share information (when it is not private information of course)! OTOH I might just be biased;-)

Doesn't it bother anybody that they imply that it is wrong to publish your term paper?
Are they saying that the scientific comunity is BAD???
I publish my papers all the time, if people would refrained from publishing stuff for fear of plagiarism the scientific comunity as we know it would not exist! personally I think that answer A was the best one!!!
No, you have the best solution of the last generation PLUS the new breed coming from crossover and mutation Crossover and mutation ensures that you are still searching for new solutions, while elitarism ensure that good solutions don't get lost.
the way I see it is that GP uses GA. The state space is "computer code" instead of numbers, but other than that there is nothing new. You should not try to understand the resulting code, it is just the code that behaves best against your target. just like most learning algorithms for classification problems, you sould not care if there is a logic in it, as long as it solves your problem.
Actually, genetic refers to the way the algorithms BEHAVE. These are optimization algotrithm, ie they search for the minimum (maximum) of a given function in a given domain and they do so "breeding" together the best solutions avaiable at each "generation"
GAs are just another type of stochastic search, just like Annealing. They search the phase space at random points and converge to the solution with probability 1 (provided that the breeding process uses elitarism, that is the best solution is kept in the next generation). All nice and good, but it just means that they are optimal when they perform an exaustive search. they find an "acceptable" solution basically with the same speed as annealing does, just they are cooler (or are percieved as such) and can be used with no modification in discreet problems.
Actually, the assumption is poor because it is an orev-estimation, not an under-estimation. G4s can DELIVER up to 4 FP ops per cycle, but each operation takes more than a cycle to execute. This might look like playing around words, but the fact that you can calculate more than one operation in a cycle doesn't mean that any one operation gets executed faster. the only parameters to the execution time are clock speed and pipeline depth (assuming the latter is constant).
I don't see how someone would use strtok and still want their comuper to be as easy as a TV. If you have ever done some programming the man page is clear enough. The point is computer can and should be used as appliances for users that use them only to surf the web or writing a awfully formatted document. On the other hand, if this comes at the expense of my ability to code I am ready to kill;-) There are _at least_ two types of computer users: end (appliance) users and coders (actually there is also the hobbist that doesn't code but is willing to squeeze a little power out of its box). The real goal is to please both.
An exaple of what I am saying can be taken out of MacOS: I have always talked newbies into using MacOS because it is actually aimed to them and has very little learning curve, but I will never code for it if I am not forced to(awful low-level API and no mem-management). On the long run I belive that if noone wants to code the whole system will be penalized, not only from the OSS comunity, but also from startup companies (they will be less and less willing to develop for the system or "port" the product). On the long run the lack of alternatives will strangle the system.
don't want to sound like a smatpants, but the web was invented at CERN, which is the European Center for Nuclear Research, and has nothing to do with US defence. It was ArpaNet (aka internet) that was financed with US defence money, but it _was_ developed by univesities!

Might be just bad luck, but I think you should check for duplicates: I was offered to meta-moderate the same article twice.
