Right conclusion, not the most direct argument. NP is a proper subset of EXPTIME; there are problems that must take exponential time to complete. Wikipedia says that asking whether a Turing-machine halts in k steps is EXPTIME-complete (yo

Seems like it requires too much from the user to be true, particularly stepping back onto the exact square at which the game started. I also find it unlikely that it's interesting enough to play "many, many times". Interesting work of ficti

There's a Debian package for dopewars, which is pretty much just a remake.

What is the effect of increased exercise on the burned out? I've started getting 20-30 minutes of additional almost daily exercise by bicycling for transportation, 10-15 minutes and 2.5 miles each way. I wouldn't say that I am a lot happier

The problem with this problem is that it's much easier to attract a significant other with a similarly broken sleep cycle.

I conjecture that the problem is that cutting a $250 netbook to $200 drops the price by 20%, but drops margins by a much greater fraction. For now, it looks like the market will bear $300+ netbooks, so we'll have to wait until more competit

$170 netbook? I haven't been able to find anything reputable-esque on Newegg or Amazon for under $250, so I've been holding out for ARM smartbooks and a price drop.

Hmm, it just occurred to me that my iPod touch battery is not in the greatest shape, so Wakemate might cause me to have to leave a computer on during the night to power the iPod, which seems counterproductive to sleeping well. Might have to

I've wrapped on several occasions by pulling an all-nighter. It just keeps slipping forward to equilibrium. For concreteness, this has resulted in instances where I will awaken at 3 PM one day and 3 AM the next (36 hours later). Staying up

They asked pre-orders what phone they wanted to use the device with, so it's not out of the question that they knew that "screw iPhone" was out of the question.

If WakeMate is any good, it will end up being mission-critical for me. I've lost control of my sleep schedule and I can't move it backward because I just end up wasting a day due to tiredness and unable to keep it from slipping forward agai

strace might help you, perhaps with the -e trace=file option. Depends on how mapserver is implemented. It's not clear to me that this is a C-specific problem.

I can't recommend that book for learning C and assembly. Its coverage is amateurish and unprofessional, which are indicative of or at least encourage fuzzy thinking. You can read it for a time-efficient overview, but please don't go thinkin
