dope. coders trying to do math. in fact he is wrong, and you are wrong. write a program that imlements the Monty Hall problem, and then do it 500 times. then talk about mathematics.
glad you could correct an error that thousands of mathematicians have been overlooking for the last 50 years... idiot...

i must disagree. i'm liberal, but from my (possibley limited) experience, liberal college students are more likely to call for censorship than conservative college students. that being said, they're a whole lot less likely to be a--holes than the right-wing students.
however, you can't ignore the brown case: the ACLU i know and love would defend the publishers of this racially dubious ad in a second
there really needs to be a stronger distinction between liberal, conservative, extremist, and idiotic in the rest of this discussion.

i agree in principle, but NRA (however much i dislike and disagree with them) is not a 'hate group' either.
this whole discussion is idiotic. we might as well discuss theodore kaz's manifesto, and try to make sense out of it. both of these guys are ignorant pseudo-academics...
go to the USPO site and looks at the Open Markets (nice irony) patent:

then look at the top and notice the USPO links to their shopping cart. I wonder if they're licensing the technology:)
most software shops can't realistically develope in assembly. it's simply to difficult to trace bugs in the code, and there are too many ways for bad developers to shoot themselves in the foot. odds are that the percentage gain they'd get in performance from coding in assembly would be offset by the time/cost of writing the software.
Whatever it's written in, good design is most important anyway.
All being said and done, it sounds like you should write it in c++ with an optimized compiler for the best performance, although java servlets or a java server would be the easiest to write, and quicker to develop without losing too much performance.
Glass is a liquid, physically speaking. however, this information really won't help answer the question at hand.
I'm guessing that the optical properties of the storage medium could be affected over time, but $hit happens, and entropy increases.
All being said and done, considering the mean time to failure for current drives (what, 5yrs?), i can't imagine that slight distortion over hundreds of years will give anyone reason not so change over to mass storage with retrieval times comparable to RAM, and storage capacities orders of magnitudes higher than current drives.
i guess i'm say, that even if distortion occurs, it's probably kinder than a head crash:)
Dammit!!
Moore's law is garbage, let's just get that straight. Moore noticed a trend and somehow got his name attached to it and it was mistakenly called a 'law'.
You little calculations have no bearing on how hard the chip designers at IBM work, or what advances occur in the next 4 years.
By your 'logic' chips will be 2^26 times faster in 2040.... i sincerely doubt that Moore had any formal training in physic, but i also doubt that he thought people would started spout off his 'Law' like it was gospel...
sorry. hit a major nerve. maybe i should take that medication regularly...
what inconsistencies! what undecidables! all of these are PREDICTED by mathematics. don't misuse intuitisms - it's a LOGICAL system, and embedded in mathematics itself.
Slashdot Mirror
yes, excellent point. thank you for your contribution.
amen to that, brother.
your wrong.
math underlies most of human accomplishment, abstract mathematics accounts for all of computing.
Turing, Shannon, Rivest... there are some name that you might recognize. all of them did math 12 years beyond where you left off.
maybe you're right in some sense... if you're going to go about your life without thinking, then math is entirely irrelevant.
throw yourself in front of a bus.
i can't believe you have the opposable thumbs to type with.
why can't you do this?

what you are suggesting is neither fun nor amusing, both of which an april fools joke should be.
you've missed the point entirely.

yes, stupid question.
is it easier to send it into, or out of earth gravity well?
oh, of course. you're right. this is a great idea.

Nature articles don't constitute press releases - and these are IBM and Bayer researchers being reported on. No marketing here.

mathematics has only the foundations that you assign to it.
given axioms, and rules of inference, you form a system. barring some of goedel's conclusions, it's pretty straightforward.
