The use of the 'k' in 'Amerika' is a reference to the German use of the letter 'K' for "hard C" sounds. Essentially, godwining the post by making a reference to America as a fascist country, due to Germany's historical past.
errr, i should say, any nondeterministic polynomial time problem should also have a deterministic polynomial time solution... All in all, its a very specific solution to a very specific class of problem.
nah, it just says that any nondeterministic problem should also have a polynomial time solution. Linear time solutions are not covered by the conjecture.
Is it easy to both plan a car trip and check that your car trip is planned well. If yes, the P=NP, if no, then P!=NP, if you cant determine either yes or no then its all wrong;)
That was my take as well. The game was so horrible I actually questioned whether they truley tested the gameplay at all, other than fixing bugs. I spent about 10 hours playing the game before I just gave up from not caring and then tossed the disc away so noone else would have the opportunity to play such utter crap.
This game, and ffxiv have made up my mind to never purchase anything from square-enix based in the FF universe ever again. Its all pretentious(sp) crap, signature of a yes-man company model where noone has balls in their company to say "NO! that is a dumbass idea, we're not doing that!".
So, essentially what societies should eventually converge to is a form of government that offers the most utility and minimizes apathy to the greatest extent. Anyone have any idea what form of government maximizes utility and minimizes apathy? Most seem to offer one or the other, and almost never both (in the previous stated relationship).
It really comes down more to knowing how to play the game. If google didnt respond to the initial RFP (request for proposal) or attend an RFI (request from industry) or not even have a schedule on the GSA, they had this coming, and no amount of suits will fix it. If they dont play by the rules everyone else has to, you dont get the contract, period. If anything this will be an eye opener. Im not saying its perfect, but its shaped the way it is because people complained in the past, so they came up with convoluted rules to enforce things. The only ones to blame for this process is the people themselves.
case in point: ps2 beat the ever living snot out of the xobx and the gamecube, despite being the weaker system of the three. wii, has beaten the ever living snot out of the ps3 and xbox360, again, being the weaker system. Graphics have never won over the gaming audience as a whole, the hardcore segment yes, but never the entire segment, and wii just makes it worse as its filled with the most crap games and worst looking games.
counterpoint: ps2 had the best games of all the systems (you could even say better than alot of today's games, play wise), wii had the most clueless purchasers.
Heh, already looks like someone is working on this: http://pentagram.sourceforge.net/ Though it appears to be more of an engine port to run the game under modern OSes
In all honesty, I would love to get involved in a project like this. It would be interesting figuring out how to pull apart the old software and remake the game.
I dont know. Since u8:pagan was widely critisized and considered uncomplete and a failure compared to U6 and U7. I think it would be one of the more difficult remakes as the team would have to fill in alot of plotholes, content, etc.
As an early adopter (read: 1-year free trial;) the service works fine (6Mb cable conneciton). For twich games you will notice a little sluggishness, but overall, its not difficult to adjust. Essentially, all the games play like a good latency online game. The only thing i'm not sure I like at the moment is the some of the minor artifacting you'll see due to the video compression. Again, this only really comes into play if you stop and look for it, during action you'll not notice it too much as you'll be busy paying attention to other things;). Though right now, I cant say for sure how this service will perform in the future, as you apply for entrance into the service currently. Once anyone can join whenever they want, its hard to say how quickly OnLive will adjust to increased congestion.
If I understand properly, isn't asbestos just a common geological term for a fibrous mineral? So wouldn't this have nothing to do with carcinogenic asbestos insulation?
Well of course losses are not real if they are hypothetical. Hypotheticals are not considered real until proven, by the very definition of Hypothetical: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Hypothetical syn: suppositional, theoretical, speculative.
Hypotheticals should never be used in courts of law because they are not yet truth, but thats just my opinion, and nobody cares about that;)
The other statement you referenced is based on that most arguments I've seen, and were made by my original post's father and were hypothetical in nature. There were assumptions made on the hypothesis that the company would have made money if the thief had not stolen the item, which is unfounded, because in that statement they do not disprove that they wouldn't have made money if he hadn't. The company's intent was that this should be taken as fact (when it is not fact yet) and thus be applied as an opportunity cost, which only has basis in fact, not on hypothetical possibilities of an unproven nature.

Is this an offshoot of Taekwonleap's "boot to the head"?

so... anyone who drives a Chrysler vehicle now?
that was just to see if you were paying attention. ;)

Polynomial time (P) or Nondeterministic Polynomial time (NP)

Transparent aluminum is called sapphire, its existed for millenia.

They got allllll the rights to java and were able to essentially kill a database competitor.

well, nothings stoping anyone else from signing up and getting a 1-year free trial as well. ;)

what kind of laser would I need to deal with this?
You would need the Remington 870 Pump-Action
Yea, the Polywell reactor is a very interesting concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell (even has pictures)
pictures of it in action: http://www.emc2fusion.org/
It will be interesting what there results are next year when its completed in April 2011.
