And the link provided does not demonstrate the travelling salesman problem the way I learned it. We learned it such that the travelling salesman _was_ concerned about the distance travelled, which makes the problem MUCH more complex. Plus, with this addition, the travelling salesman is revealed for what it truly represents: circuit design.
The problem is of course VERY simply when there are only 3-10 cities involved, but grows to unsolvable proportions as it grows to 100 cities and beyond. (2^100 ~ 10^30). Note that earth has only been around for approximately 10^27 milliseconds.
The problem showed grows complex only at a linear rate, not n^P... Oh well...
...I don't think RH will go above the $12 asking price before going public.
Looking at other companies that make IPOs, most of them change the range one to two months before they go public, not the last couple of days. Still, I hope that RH doesn't go above $14.50/share either, or else I'm gonna have to come up with some quick cash. I think I have an extra kidney around here somewhere... Any takers?
Incidentally, I think that VA could go well or not well. I think that if RH does well, then VA will do really well.... But OTOH, if RH does crappily, VA will do REALLY crappily. (Stocks will play according to similar stocks when there is no significant non-technical difference.)
3) Recieving the letter does not GUARANTEE stock, but RH set aside 800,000 shares for the board of directors, family, and "friends of RH." The "friends of RH" were designated by recieving "the letter." We're guaranteed stock as long as we (as a whole) do not request 800,000 shares.
4) No problems here...:)
"The Letter" guarantees us a very good shot at shares. (99% or so, which is good enough for me.)

I agree. This sounds like crapola to me!

I thought that the movie was okay, but I was REALLY bored while I was watching it..
It kinda sticks with you though, and every so often it just pops into my head..
