As the article says, the previous one was a brute force implementation. And the 100x number is kind of nonsensical since the real speedup depends on the size of the input (the asymptotic complexity of the algorithm went from O(nmk) to somet

Mine uses an 8-digit password for the website, plus another 6-digit one for transactions. On top of that you have to authorize the computer you use (they send you an SMS with a code if you log in from a new computer). I don't know how they

How did you leave, if I may ask? I have a feeling that it is very hard to emigrate to a better country.

I'm interested in a Nexus One. I just sent you an email, but I understand if you give priority to the poster or would not like to ship internationally. If anyone here has a used, unlocked N1 and is willing to ship it to Brazil, please conta

They offered 1200 BRL/month (about 10K USD/year). A junior engineer is supposed to make at least twice as much over here[1]. They work for foreign clients, and I do have experience with the job (through oDesk/Elance/RAC). I've also publishe
