I won't argue about semantics of theoretical in theoretical computer science. It is my experience that people in casual conversations automatically assume topic to be complexity theory, despite I'm in Europe. Or maybe I will, just a bit ;)

What was your point, again? You obviously didn't read the thread. Highlighted therein is the contrast between TCS scenes in US and Europe. That is the amichail's point. These are two separate communities scarcely communicating with each o

I think you have a strange, narrow definition of theoretical CS that isn't shared by many people. You're wrong in the "not shared by many" part. http://weblog.fortnow.com/2009/03/lets-congradulate-gerard-h...

There is seldom much interesting for ML person in this paper. (disclaimer: I haven't made much sense of its goal either. This reminds me of a saying “Write for lay audience, so maybe specialists will understand; Write for specialists, then

Ehh, memories… I have yet to finish that book. Dirac said, “follow mathematical idea wherever it leads” . When I first opened ths book years ago, unpublished draft then, I just skimmed the ToC, checked a few problems and then to my horror

Heh, it looks bit like a groupoid (albeit PG version even more so)!

It can't be a tower, at most a sort of bridge and barely at that. Harald Welte's OpenBSC is more advanced http://bs11-abis.gnumonks.org/trac/ . It is built on Siemends industrial design and not USRP as the BTS.

But they would have to be experts in GSM signalling. And those experts tend to have better things to do. Also, a laptop and a antenna would not suffice, software-defined radio would be required and currently there is no SDR design on market
