This novel was originally posted online as a rough draft in late 2005. It has made great strides, receiving tens of thousands of reader contributions. It has received good reader reviews, and has been downloaded 6000 times in a two year span.
So, do the people that helped you get a cut of the $12.95?
No, but under the CC lisence they're all allowed to print and sell the book themselves.

"The term [Science Fiction] is more generally used to refer to any literary fantasy that includes a scientific factor as an essential orienting component, and even more generally used to refer to any fantasy at all."
Science fiction does noe have to be scientifically accurate. Star Wars can easily be considered science fiction.
This reminds me of another swedish warship which was said to be "a floating work of art and a weapon of war". It was called Vasa. Quoting the article: "...The Vasa sank within one nautical mile of the start of her maiden voyage in 1628 before she even left the Stockholm archipelago..."
This is why Prohibition was finally ended in America: it simply became too difficult for the cops to get anyone convicted. In Europe, they would have been tried by judges, found guilty by the government, and the law would still stand.
Except that in Norway we did have a period of Prohibition. We don't anymore. The law was abolished.
Which is far better than an innocent person being persecuted by the government with repeated retrials
It is called "an appeal". There is a big difference, as many others has pointed in this discussion.
... we've never started World Wars or slaughtered millions of our own people
This is because America has always had military superiority over the countries it has attacked. The fact that you only attack opponents who are weaker than yourself (such as Iraq) is not be something you should be proud of.

If you had such an algorithm in hand, what could you do with it? It would be interesting to see how many problems we could map into the NP Complete model.
Strictly speaking all problems where you can verify that a solution to the problem is correct (in polynomial time), could be solved by your algorithm. Or put another way: if you're able to formulate your problem in strict mathematical terms (using an IP, BIP or MIP) you should be able to solve it.
Perhaps the most obvious thing that would happen is that all theory about P, NP, NPC and complexity in general could be thrown away. No point in describing difficult problems with strict theory if they all can be reduced and solved as simpler ones.

I the only one who thinks it's funny that the stereotypical macho hates gays but likes to watch porn involving two women?
:-)
Let's think about this one for a minute... would I like to watch one naked woman or two naked women?

The best part of this article (titled "PowerPoint Is Evil") is the advertisement at the bottom which sells "Hot Powerpoint Templates".
I remember writing my first demo on an C-64. Unfortunately it wasn't very good. Probably because the only sorting algorithm I knew was bubble-sort :-)

Is it too early to declare the death of Bluetooth, or can we can expect more out of it?

Dont get 'and' and/or 'or' mixed up. Especially on slashdot.

If I've understood it correctly: IA-64 and x86-64 are not binary compatible.
.NET and compiled down to IL-code should run equally well on both platforms.
If so, then I'm not at all surprised that M$ has decided to create its own version of windows for x86-64.
Programs written in
It would seems that it was a good idea to rip off javas "compile-once-run-everywhere" technology, M$!

How about this:
Mac OS X running on Intel, with free software written in Java compiled into MSIL executables.
Now, that's a platform I'd like to use!
