Yes, of course, i usually use this date format too. But OTOH, when you use a date format which is quite common here in Austria (DD.MM.YYYY) there are pretty cool dates in the next few years like 20.07.2007, 20.08.2008,...
In fact, I should have said "For any given domain, radix sort works in linear time". Normally this will be much slower than quick sort or merge sort. Suppose you sort 1024 32 bit integers (n=1024, k=23):
merge sort would require n*ld(n) operations (10240)
radix sort would require 32*n operations (32768)
So, you are right if k is proportional to the number of items n. I guess we where both a little bit too unprecise.

Sorry, but what you've said is simply wrong. Radix sort works (like bucket sort too) in linear time (since k is the average key length, which is constant). It normally has no advantage for long keys and not too much items to sort. In case of radix sort it's because k might be larger than log n, and in case of bucket sort it's because you need an array with 2^k entries for a k bit key.
Exactly what has to be said about java. At the moment I'm working for a company where I have to write C++ code (since the data we handle is simply too large... our C++ apps use up to 2GB of ram), and it's a lot harder to write clean, secure OO code than with java.
So: if you can efford 256 MB of RAM and a recent CPU Java will run most of the applications fast enough. I know java has a long startup time compared to C or C++ applications (long as in 4 seconds compared to 1 sec), but this is a time I can wait.
The next question is: what does this mean to the more advanced (but not yet commonly used) CHF's SHA-256 and SHA-512? AFAIK they are harder to break, but are based on the same principle.
because it's 11:19 AM MEST at the moment... kudos to whomever on the slashdot staff decided to post this story at the right time for it, at least on the East Coast;-)
at least here in middle europe;-)
Now, honestly. Imagine you are using a Windooze PC -- you should know that there is a new email worm approximately every 1 1/2 months.
You receive an email from support@yahoo.com with the subject "Re: Documents". You know you never have written an email to this adress with this subject. Would you really click on this attachment??
I guess there are still people who do.
They are a dying race. We should let them pass.

And don't forget the possibility to send objects as email attachments. Just imagine how cool it would be pressing the Receive button and a moment later a pizza lies in front of you.

That are the Benefits of using M$? Funny, I never knew that widooze provides these features...
Hackers will need to request access to discussion forums and those who troll, will be kicked out and banned.
Well, the freedom of speech is what I really like at/. but this also means that people might say things that you don't like or that are offtopic. For this there is the moderation system, which works pretty good. Just select a higher Threshold or ignore postings you don't like. BTW: Your post is offtopic too (and maybe even troll).

Let's see... Java, C++, German, English - makes 4
I copied that from the wikipedia reference, you're right, this should be the maximum key length. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort)

This could become a cool new Extreme sports: Survive in the lake.
I bet Red Bull would sponsor it.
