Okay. Maybe mixing patents and copyright was a bad idea. But my point was that basically copyright infringement means violating a copyright license - a document that has been written by some random...
Copyrights and patents cannot be made a criminal matter since it's a grey area. No document that hasn't been passed by the parliament may be used as a law in a criminal case. Therefore a software...
If the system doesn't do the sorting and your program doesn't do the sorting, who does it? The vacuum?
There probably is a solution. The point, however, is that the solution cannot use an...
I'm talking about situations where you are given some input and you have no way to affect how the input comes, your code just has to complete the task at hand. Therefore, if you have an input file...
You cannot assume the data to be sorted unless it is explicitly said so. In fact you can't assume anything about input data that is not given in the text. I personally have never seen a programming...
Obviously I was talking about a hypothetical task. In this case the restriction is O(n) time, in which the unsorted array must be processed. The O(n) restriction starts when you receive input and...
Nowhere in the problem description did it say the numbers were already sorted. If you are given a million elements and have to write an algorithm that finishes within one second on a test machine,...
Bootloader code is only executed on the boot partition. Besides, you can have Windows install disk fix the MBR (it includes bootloader code). Then delete the driver files and also the executables...
Copying hundreds of gigabytes of data, exporting settings from all applications (in some it cannot be done at all), reinstalling everything (+ all additional components, plugins, etc). Can't really...
All bases can be treated equally. Mathematically no bases have any "special privileges". Therefore, nonoob is right.
It's actually nongentillion OR quinquagintaquadringentilliard. ;)
The way to look at it is that in a picture each pixel has 24 bits (8 red, 8 green, 8 blue) and if the picture is 20x20, then there are 400x24 bits - 9600. Each bit can either be set or not, so there...
If I understand it right, it disallows emulators, browsers, PHP/Python and such for server software.
Besides, Adobe made it possible to convert your Flash application into a native application...
Ah, you mean if it was criminalized, then such demands wouldn't be possible. Sorry for not taking a moment to think about what you said.
Anyway, I'm a bit sceptical about the idea, but I guess...
Single Mother of Four Ordered to Pay $1.5 Million for Music Piracy
A single mother who has four children was ordered to pay $1.5 million for sharing 24 songs (what's that... 2 albums?) through a...
You don't really own software/movies/music that you "buy". You just obtain a license to use them. The authors are still the owners and if they were to sell them, they would no longer be the owners....
To me it seems pretty obvious that he is joking.
Well, if you own a supercomputer, then go ahead.
It seems to me that the Linux world is not really oriented to a graphical interface. So I think that Linux is a good thing, but just not something...
"Adding" tutorials? You do mean write, compose and publish, right? Go on, write an article and I'm pretty sure it won't be too difficult for the webmaster to add the article that you wrote (or...
Don't you people get tired of discussing C vs C++ so many times? I got tired of the topic years ago just by reading other people's discussions about it. Now every time someone asks me about it, I...
Half-open connections only make sense if the target server is non-responsive. If a connection stays half-open for more than a second, something is wrong.
Over 200 Ajax requests per second (or through Flash) or Java applications that are connected to 200 servers simultaneously? I just don't buy it.
Turn off Java and Javascript and see what happens...
If there is nowhere else to go, there is no problem. Your next thread might as well be "The end of democracy".
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the...
Every company monitors your usage of their site. It's web business 101. Whether they admit doing it or not is a different thing. I'm glad Google does though.
On a Google search page I see:
