  1. Go... on Computer Cracks 5x5 Go · · Score: 5, Informative

    The way that chess games work is they check n ammount of moves into the future. With each iteration into the next move it splits off into a massive tree of moves. As an example, the first iteration has 10 potential moves, the next has 100 and the next has 1,000 With Go as an example there may be 100 potential moves on the first iteration and then 10,000 and then 10,000,000 The number of potential moves grows way faster then in chess.

  13. Lotus notes on Bugzilla on Windows? · · Score: 1

    You could always use lotus notes (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/lotus/) work order tracking extension. Although the program has become a behemoth of lag in its current incarnation its actually quite effective at keeping track of whats going with who. Although I don't think its the free open source software solution you are looking for. The desktop I use at work is a 500mhz p3 with 128mb of ram running windows XP, Lotus notes runs like a dead turtle on it. Although on the 2ghz p4-m with 2gb of ram laptop (which I use most of the time anyway) it runs fine. Lotus notes use to be such a nice and well optimized dos program.....
