You totally missed the point, didn't you? There are situations where a bubble sort is faster than a merge sort or a quicksort. It has almost no setup overhead, so if you're sorting sufficiently small arrays (and what I remember from CS101 is that "sufficiently small" goes up to about 1000 members) bubble sort is actually significantly faster.
My point is: if you're sorting sufficiently small arrays, the speed allmost never makes a big differense. It does not change the complexity.
So, as a matter of fact, if you had to sort a million small arrays, bubble sort would be the only feasible option.
Sort 1000 elements: cost O(1) do it n times: cost O(n)
So the complexity of the algorithm is not depending on the sorting algorithm.
The bubble sort algorithm may be faster, but the complexity is in no way better. So do not start talking about "understanding" big oh notation.
So, the use of "inefficient" algorithms needs to be taken with a grain of salt depending on the context in which you are using those algorithms. If you need to sort short short lists, bubblesort will work just fine!
And quicksort will work just fine too. Sometimes O(n^2) will *not* work. Therefore never use bubblesort.
Main Entry: insignificant Pronunciation: -k&nt Function: adjective : not significant: as a : lacking meaning or import : INCONSEQUENTIAL b : not worth considering : UNIMPORTANT c : lacking weight, position, or influence : CONTEMPTIBLE d : small in size, quantity, or number - insignificantly adverb
It is my belive that "Not that great != not significant != insignificant" and sertenly that "Not that great" is *far* from "insignificant".
>>Despite your revisionist tendencies what??
I find it hard to argue when you'r constantly attacking me on things I have not said and most importantly not standing for, I therefore argue that we stop here!
It's an insult to be told that the sacrifices made by your countrymen to defend the freedoms of other people are insignificant.
I have never said so.
French beeing pussies is though, I am not French, nor American, but I at least know ho helped liberate US from UK.
Vietnam and Korea were ill-advised wars, but the Americans who went there and didn't come back are heroes. Dying for your own freedom is one thing. Dying for somebody else's, well, that's something Americans seem more willing to do than any other nation in history.
I do not agree. Canada joined the war early and did way more relative the size of the country. New Zealand had Mauri troops fighting in Europe.
Your entire statement is an insult to most other countries in the world.
And the very large amount of weapons/ammo that the USA produced don't count? Nor do all the men that died making Normandy happen?
I did not say it did not count, where, where have i said anything of that???
America did a lot of good things, and helped alot. I was *just* explaning that it was not US that did everything. The original post kind of said that when the french pussies did nothing, US saved europe from the nazis.
It is not anti US. It is what happend. I am glad that US did enter the war (after Hitler declared war against US) else Soviet would have done much more harm. But the fact is that the US involvment was not that great.
I know netscape 4.7x sucks in rendering quality, but that is another point (which I *did* mention). Another thing is that mozilla is way more stable.
What I was trying to say in my post was that for me Netscape 4.7x is to unstable to use, so I use mozilla which is a bit slower and render pages a lot better
Netscape 4.7x on solaris crashes all the time. Mozilla almost newer. Netscape 4.7x is faster though. Does not rreally matter when it shows the pages much nicer.
It feels better I would say. I like the docking feature, and many people will like the fact that the menu is in the window now (you do not have to right-click). Better text tool allso.

what??

not so, and I don't even speak English that good.
I have never said so.

No, where did I say that???
I say UK and Soviet did more, it is that easy.
Most people don't seam to know it, and from what I have seen today many don't want to know.
I can not understand why people take it as an insult, WHY? My contry did nothing, and if someone
makes a point out of it i relly do not care.
Thats right, it is what I tried to say.
I would order it the other way around though,
i.e. Soviet, UK and then US (where does Canada
fit in)?
It is not anti US. It is what happend.

declared war against US) else Soviet would have

involvment was not that great.
No, but France (the state) did.
It was not US that defeted Hitler it was UK
and Soviet.
And France did not do much at all.
For most pages Netscape 4.7x is much faster.

Think it is allready in OpenBSD
True
XBOX2 will not have a hard drive, I belive.
I find it hard to understand that PI equals 3.
Untill god comes to *me* and explain, I will not
belive in neither a god nor a PI that equals 3.
Well, it is good for the people that likes it!
I, myself like my emacs21 without menubar and without toolbar. The fine thing though, is that the option exist!
For most people it is a replacement for Photoshop.
It is not as good but most people wont feel much of a difference.
Ilustrator is a totaly different program.
And Sodipodi is not close to Ilustrator.
It feels better I would say. I like the docking feature, and many people will like the fact that the menu is in the window now (you do not have to right-click). Better text tool allso.
I needed an aditional package for module loading,
do not remember what it was called though.
I allso did go for ALSA so I did apt-get some
ALSA-packages as well.
> Do you think AFS could be prone to this same file ID reuse issue?
I have no idea.
bochs, wmware or another emulator
Thats not true. I can run most free stuff on windows. Some need Cygwin but most does not.
I would prefer running X on darwin than running
Aqua on darwin. But then, why run darwin at all?
I *guess* that the other BSD:s and Linux are better.
I can probebly get a 65k processor CM2 for free.
I thought performance was the key point.
Thanks for the info, but the problem is with AFS.
We use AFS at school, using mainly Solaris.
When I save files over AFS it get a size of zero.
If I save the file localy and then copy it with finder it does work though.
