And these are two different martial arts.
Java is for Internet kids who have the luxury of running over an operating system (even MS-Windows included..), but real programmers, who have to squeeze into some 128K of flash memory an entire communication application on a lousy 16-bit DSP CPU with tight power consumption budget, will always do some dirty tricks no quiche-eaters unit-testing module will help.
Startup idea anyone? A CPU that runs Java. JVM in hardware, that is.
Thousands of work hours are wasted when frustrated employees forget the difference between:q! and:x!, or forget to press 'i' before mouse copy-and-paste into the terminal. (fun game: guess what the first 'action' letter in that pasted block was!) So I say to the bussiness world - forget Skype, let's ban vi. anyone for?
Well, maybe it is not exactly apples to apples, but look what happens to TV-star-kids when they grow up. Did anyone say **cough** Gary Coleman **cough** **cough** ?
They have an automatic process working on Firefox support. It is even open-source, there you go:
sleep 60*24*365;
print "Please update to IE, we rely on its bugs for our software to work, sorry\n".

Usually when a large company acquires a small company, the small company shifts to 'stall' state for a couple of years. There are many past examples. The reasons range from employees suddenly feeling like small pieces in a huge machine, lost hope for an 'exit', and so on.
For example, gbrowser.com is registered to Google inc.
What else? googleos.com is not registered to Google inc., but probably to some leech. So Bill Gates doesn't have to loose too much sleep yet..
I heard that google want to go into the DB market. Well, googlesql.com is registered by some Korean guy. another leech probably. gsql.com is due to a company from the Cayman Islands. googledb.comand gdb.com (gdb.com?? (-:) are also not registered to google. So maybe they are not up to databases yet? Well, if they ever do a database, imagine the sql query will look like: 'get NAME where LASTNAME=XXX and IFEELLUCKY'... (pardon my sql French)
Say we have two friends, one lives in Oakland and works in downtown S.F. (work starts at 9:30) and one lives in S.F. and works in Oakland (work starts at 9:00).
They buy two tickets, and do the following:
The guy from S.F. uses his card to ride to Oakland, where he waits near the entry/exit gates. His friend will arrive there at 8:45, and enter with his ticket.
Then they exchange tickets and carry on as usual.
Next day - same drill.
I'm sure this is a very common, probable usecase of the BART.
BTW another reason could be that when you exit the BART you get a free ride on the buses in SF for half-hour or so, no? You should know, you live there?...
I didn't read throught the entire thing, but I think that you might be missing the two things the king can do:
1) transform K bits - this can be solved by an ECC as you said.
2) Choose the order of 'channel usage'! Did you consider this? It is not an 'Aloha' channel or something of the sort, the king can do whatever will screw your strategy.
I don't understand why you have to mess so much with this.
First, let's drop the part where the king can interfere.
Clearly, the simple solution (not time-efficient, but who cares) is to choose one leader, who waits for 99 'ups' and whenever he sees an 'up' turns to 'down'. The other 99 are only allowed to turn 'down' to 'up', and only one time.
Now, since the king can interfere K times (I assume K is known to the prisoners as well, otherwise it can't be solved) , the startegy should be for the leader to wait for, say, (2K-1)*99 'ups', and the other 99 must turn 'down' to 'up' in the first 2K chances they get.
It is 2K times longer than if the king could not interfere, but it works and the king has nothing he can do about it, no matter what order he chooses for inviting the prisoners into the room.
It is better for at least two reasons:
1) old people will not seduce children
2) old people will stop wasting their time
But hey, we are those old people )-:
Believe me, he did a great job there. Some tricks with floating-point on that messy 8-bit machine with 3 (!) registers, two of them are only index counters (X and Y) and only one 8-bit accumulator!
I reversed some of his code at the time, I remember he did some real 'real programmer' stuff there.
If the result of the research was that Linux beats the hell out of Microsoft - would you give it a second glance?
This way, hundrends of people are refering to those two chaps.
It don't matter what they write about you, as long as they spell your name right.
Listen friends, the only way to 'predict' the future is to simulate the entire universe. You need a computer larger than the universe to do it.
You can limit to simulating only the time cone around planet Earth. Then you can cut down the number of atoms (quarks?) needed to be simulated by a lot. Still it is impossible.
There is nothing random about the future. This whole issue is loads of crapts.

rsync was there on his list. But what about grep? How can you live without grep?
gphoto.biz is also registered to Google inc. Yeah, no joke. Why?? Your ideas will be appreciated!!

Another version: you have 13 coins, but do not need to tell if the fake is heavier or lighter, just point out the fake coin.
Allow me to ask you back - what's the probability of winning if you switch?..

i.e. 3 is 2 points, 5 is 4 points, all the rest are 0.
Of course you should switch doors. Improves your probability from 1/3 to 2/3 (!) Yes it does, calculate.

Windows XP for example. Both fun and useful. What did you say? No source code? Come on , not a problem for a real programmer.

Google and Microsoft will never unite since their so called 'coopetition' helps them both.
