So do you work directly for MicroSoft, or are you a contractor? I'm sure they'd love to take some responsibility if it cleared out 95% of their lesser endowed (money wise) competitors.
If it's an auto-reply, wouldn't that preclude the recording of the first message unless they then consent? I don't think it would work if you started recording and then asked for consent.
'n' doesn't matter much for NP-hard problems because anything larger than a trivial amount of input is going to take a very long time to run to completion, if it does so at all.
'n' is the size of the input, so it still isn't correct to use it in the sense that you're speaking of, unless you're trying to say that it's ok to have an NP-hard race condition determination if you have a smaller than 1000 line program? I'd say that in programs where race conditions will matter, there will almost always be a significant amount of code. Besides, there was redundancy in your GP's post. Undecidable problems are NP-hard.

the red bubble informing you that gator is now claria isn't there when you directly access claria.com on purpose...If you didn't know they used to be gator, they don't want you to find out that they were because gator == spyware and claria == ?.
(warning: the preceeding is conjecture, but it is the most logical explanation I could come up with.)
hint: NP-hard is a problem that is NP-complete, or worse. An NP-hard problem does not have to be solvable. NP in this context stands for nondeterministic polynomial (with reference to time bounds). NP means that a problem can be solved in polynomial time with an infinitely parallel system. NP-complete problems are at least as hard as all other NP problems.
Sorry, it just bugs me whenever people try to talk about theory of CS and use "non-polynomial" or something else for NP.
It's not really possible unless you manage to gain possession of the (sometimes very large) private key. Something that just added text would probably take a huge amount of information to try to match up text to a previous signing.
Wait, I'm confused...what's wrong with home schooling? It seems like it would be viewed as a good thing by many on this site. I'd like to keep my kids out of public or private schools (don't have any kids yet, though) because I don't want them to have to say "Under God" in their pledge of subservience or have to even be introduced to Creationism as if its something other than fodder for morons. In Georgia they considered banning the word evolution in textbooks in favor of "Change Over Time" (I think). I just don't want the pinko fascist Christians giving my kids a bad education! Besides, if my child goes to a public school, and things are similar to now when he would be of that age, he would be left behind anyway.
er...might want to watch out for that...Ashcroft's lackey Lam Nguyen will find it, look through all of your stuff, categorize and save it to disk, then tell on you!!
Ok, so what if I took a cap-gun instead and just started shooting off primers in the theater. That wouldn't be destructive, it would only bother people. Your parent post to mine said that it was violating your right to use your personal property if they made it so that you couldn't use it on their personal property. I was just replying with an absurd situation and wondering if you figured that the things I talked about would be ok for me to do since if they stopped me I wouldn't be able to use my own personal property. If they did stop me, wouldn't that be theft by denial of use, too?
I don't really know very much about Cisco stuff or their policies, but I do know that neither OpenSSH, OpenSSL, nor xntp can infect a product because they're all under some sort of permissive license (BSD-like). So really they don't have to own up to using those software products if they don't want to.
It seems to me that someone else using what I own is stealing. In this case they are stopping me from using a product I own. Same thing, theft by denial of use.
Right you are!! Next time I'm in a movie theater, I'll drive my car in (those damn walls trying to prevent me from even bringing the thing in), pull out my shotgun, and start blasting holes in one of the screens, and if they try to stop me, I'll start yammering about my right to use stuff that's mine! Same thing next time I want to whip out my laptop on a test in a class! I'm sure they'll relent and all will be fine.
Around here, some companies with dubious policies that make money are good, but certain other companies with dubious policies that make money are bad.
You're right! The companies that are considered to be bad here, have generally been bad*. The companies that are not considered to be bad, have generally not been bad**.
*To use your example, Microsoft has generally ignored all laws that would apply to it, has managed to get out of most problems with the law somehow (some luck may have been involved, like new DOJ folks to let it off the hook...), and has hired the guy that made IBM an Intellectual Property enforcement machine back in the 80's.
**Google hasn't done that stuff as far as I know, notwithstanding the moronic google-watch guy.
well, it would be similar if gcc would allow this program to compile:
int main ({
int x = 1; x=x+y; return y; };
I personally think that web browsers should barf on pages that don't validate. It might not be possible to do that now because almost no pages do, but it would've been nice if the browsers hadn't started out allowing such bad coding.
A better method of doing that is Instant Runoff Voting (page looks bad in konqueror). There is no need for strategy with instant run-off, as only one of the votes counts in the end, so you vote in the order you would prefer.

how do you have a large nondeterministic?

Or he might have been talking about Gnu Privacy Guard (Free program similar to PGP)...
Well, maybe not! I bet he was talking about General Purpose God!

You just liked his post because he said panties...come on, admit it!

Right...I'm sure you especially enjoy it when your email is forged as the sender of a round of spam and several people pull the grandparent's trick.

Well, The Register's article is dated February 11, 2004.
I think they're somehow getting the best of all worlds:
No news is good news,
Bad news is good news,
and Good news is good news.
right, well you'll be the first to go after I receive spam purporting to be from milo.org or plasticfish.net!

well, your site link validates, and so does mine, so that should be enough to keep everyone entertained for a while doncha think? ;)
Also, one my favorite sites validates, too!
