I had an idea at some point of a distributed app, similar to SETI@Home, that people would run on their computer. These computers would form a cloud which would support creating VMs that could run arbitrary code. If one app is currently running your code, and the computer it's on goes down, your code would continue to run on another one. If everyone runs it, it would be a huge pool of computational power.
Then you could run crazy things on it.
Then, profit!
Anyway, is this a step in that direction?
My bad. Two most disconnected people would be finding all pairs shortest paths, and then finding the longest one. That's P! But sibling is right - the fact that there is no census data impedes this effort more.
I once made a bot which graphed Xanga. Each person was a node, and there was an edge between A and B if A had a link to B in his/her profile.
We could maybe graph the US this way. See who knows who and through which people. Then you can do fun stuff like try to find the two most disconnected people (longest path... too bad that is NP-Complete), or see if the 6 degrees of separation thing is true.
There is divorce data. There is also birthday data. The astrologists also tell us which zodiac signs go together. This'd be a prime way to statistically prove or disprove their claims: see if divorce rates are higher between mismatched zodiacs.
I believe it. Cells make proteins from RNA, so it makes sense that that mechanism evolved first. Then, DNA later evolved as storage, to keep the useful genes and let them replicate.
The article title is: "Russian Windows will not exist." So probably not. One of the quotes says how he would like a repository of open-source stuff for the benefit of society, but now, such a repository will not exist. So it seems dead.
1) You can play the files, they just won't have any tag data, and the filenames are all four letters long.
2) You can download a program which will copy the files, and fill in the tag data based on this "internal database", which is in a simple format.
I'm not sure about your avg number of synapses. I think a significant amount of neurons have many orders of magnitude more than this. A google search on "average synapses per neuron" has a third link stating that a rat's visual cortex has an average of 12000 synapses/neuron.
Another link states "A typical neuron has about 1,000 to 10,000 synapses" - making the average a lot higher.
So I think you'd need a lot more of these.
We'll eventually discover that DNA is just instruction tape for a type of turing machine which generates our entire body as its output. As we all know, Turing machines require lots of repetitive instructions to operate because they're so limited in their actions.
They should use the quantum computer described a few posts above, it seems to be especially designed for pattern matching that computer vision might require.
For PDF files - Foxit Reader. Fast, works well, even has plugin to launch pdf files automatically from firefox.
For Video files - K-Lite Codec Pack FULL. Sounds like it's full of adware, but it's actually not, and pretty much has any codec you'd want for windows. Includes quicktime alternative, and such.

Conceptually, they are the same. But I don't have to remember any class names or function names or check for any null pointers, fewer parentheses, fewer ugly symbols.

no, with HTML5, which is an open standard that any browser could implement without the need of a proprietary plug-in.
Maybe it is more modern, but I doubt it can be "faster".
I like how this was modded "insightful".

just get privoxy. works with anything! http://www.privoxy.org/ .
This is just awesome. A perfect example of using smart engineering to combine existing technologies to result in something effective and useful.

you were supposed to hack the slot machine somehow so that it would win for you 3 times in a row, and then explode, if I remember correctly =).

I want to implement this now.
We also don't have a case system and hardly conjugate our verbs =).

more efficiently:
import operator
reduce(operator.__add__, xrange(a,b+1))

I have to say that this looks neater:

Yeah... all of the Heroes in that show are completely retarded. Ooh look I've stopped time and have a sword and Syler is there.
...
...
Audience: KILL SYLER KILL SYLER
Hiro: Wait!! Must save my friend and teleport away!!!!
Audience:
Hiro: I.. kuld not du it
Audience:
You mean we've always been at war with Eurasia.
