It's not just some keyword matching algorithm thats used. Without going into technicalities you might want to check out the Netflix prize contest, a 1M$ prize to improve the netflix prediction system by 10%.
well i'm sure all the terrorists are scared now that this script has been patented. Now they'll have to spend thier precious money to lookup domain names. get real. people who're doing criminal stuff wont give a damn about any patent. and NO DMCA doesn't stop spam.
blacklists dont curb the freedom of speech. if u've freedom to say whatever you want i've the freedom to not listen to what i dont want. and if i dont want mails from you then by blocking you i'm not curbing your freedom to say anything.
well you simply try them all ! since r is "small" its O(log(n)^6), your can just keep going from r-2 to 2 until you find a factor and still be in poly time.
about the second thing, it's also pretty simple just do a loop over the exponent try exp(log(n)/b) if it's an integer then you're good else try another !
no it wont as q is "small", as proved in lemma 4.2 r is O(log(n)^6) and so is an upper bound on q. so the size of q is O(log(log(n)) and an exponential time in that will be linear in log(n) !!
no you dont need recursive call. as r is O(log(n)) so size of r is O(log log(n))) so if an exponential time algorithm is used for checking the primality of r, it'll be exp in log(log(n)) i.e. linear in log(n)
Same goes with q. as it's "small" you can afford an exponential algoritm.
also x is a variable, those eqns (12) really are polynomial eqns.
There's a 59c levy on CR-R/CD-RW with 100MB or more storage capacity and a levy of $1.23 on CDR audio and CDRW audio or minidisc. So no matter what you use it for.. you pay the levy !
I know about US export control. They sold us an IBM SP2 computer
IBM
SP: 15 Power 3 processors, SQ switch, 8 GB RAM, 9 GB Internal HDD per
Node, 90 GB External HDD on SSA
which was capable for gigabit network but didn't sell us the gigabit network equipment (switch/cards etc) saying it can be used for weapon research. Now I failed to understand the point behind this. They sold SP2 because they got $ for it but gave only 10MBps network with it.

C-dac, based in the western city of Pune, plans to link the seven Indian institutes of technology (IITs), the Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science and other academic institutions in the I-Grid, Arora said.
The IIT's and IISc and CDAC (as someone pointed out) are all open places. You can just walk into the place. No pass or clearance (for iit's i know for sure) needed.
I can tell you for sure that the terms of use of computational facilities at IIT's prohibit the use of computers for any nuclear or missile research. We don't do those kinds of work there. They're done in BARC and ISRO (though ISRO has joint projects with a few of iit's). But yes you can never draw a line between civilian and defence research. There are many applications of research. People will always find ways to use the civilain reseach for defence purpose but that doesn't mean one should not do research at all and go back to living in caves and hunting animals (ok a bit of exaggeration;-))
CDAC basically uses SunOS (version?) on their servers. I had talked to a scientist at CDAC about the reason for not using Linux and that's the reason they told me ! reliabilty.. but that was a few years ago.. maybe now they'll look at linux and bring down the cost of their grids !
I guess the replies reflect a general ignorance about india and indians in general. India might have it's own problems with poverty and all but still countries in europe and US relied on indian brain power for their IT needs.
About supercomputing in India. CDAC had developed it's first supercomputer long back and has been making a lot of progress in this field. And before raising a nuclear alarm, India already has nuclear capability (and can launch a satellite into orbit (2+2 = ?) ) besides there are many other civilian applications on parallel computing.. ever heard of weather prediction (farming and fishing happen to be the largest industry in India and weather prediction is critical for these industries) Now i am not going to make a big list of all the applications of parallel computing but developing nuclear weapon is just one among the vast number of critical applications. Hell even the cows in india need the supercomputing power (they're the ones plowing the farms;-)
oh what's the problem.. put in a link to his resume on the page and then he'll be "actively" looking for a job by advertising his skills on the web ! The labor dept and everyone will be happy ! Well he might as well get a few job offers that way;-)
Evolving hardware is nothing new. earlier it was done in software infact there's a whole book on VLSI design using genetic algoriths (sorry don't remember the author)> Work on reconfigurable hardware has been going on for a long time now.

No it wouldn't imply that computers can do anything that humans can do. Firstly there were some suggestions that computers can be used to solve math thms which is NOT possible. There is no way that math can be automated. Godel proved it long ago.
NP hard problems will not be affected. The TSP and all the optimization problems are NP hard. NP complete means the solution can be checked in polynomial time, which is not true for optimization problems. Also factroring primes is not NP complete as there is no polynomial time algorithm yet to check if a number is prime.
er i meant backing up the data for converting to a journaling file system. i could just make the journal file and a few changes and bingo i had a ext3 partition.. didn't have to move my data to another partition etc etc
well the best part about ext3 is if something goes wrong.. you can convert the system back to ext2 in a second.. just mount it as ext2;-)
having said that.. i've been using ext3 for over a year now without any glitch. i had a 30G partition and lots of power failures.. so ext3 really eased my life and converting a current ext2 to ext3 is also pretty simple. no more backup of 30G of data...
it's all a matter of getting used to it. for more that half the ppl out there.com=internet
so it'll be some time before ppl begin recognizing these new TLDs. Slowly but surely they'll become as well known as.com and then they'll be a rush for that. So just wait.
You can't have freedom and security at the same time. you've to sacrifice one for other. til now we had more freedom.. so much that these terrorists could get in, get flight training and then attack against us.
But now what these ppl are doing is sacrificing freedom for security. that is victory for the terrorists. The way to go is to explain to the senators that if this is passed then it'll lead to a more state controlled regime defeating the entire philosophy of the free society. that'll be victory for these terrorists. terrorists aim is to spread terror not kill.. that's the mean of doing it. And by getting terrorized and panicing and making such rash decisions we're giving the victory to them !

by the same logic

well ERH is a million dollar problem (literally) !! Claymath.org, so i wouldn't bet my money on a proof which relies on ERH.

So i would say they've been successful in emulating windows ;-) Gee i wonder if it crashes as often.
