In germany, what you call cheating isnt even considered cheating. On homework, we openly collaborated and handed in near duplicates without trying to hide it. Some students would just copy the work of others. None of this mattered. Nobody &

Floating point can accurately represent more than just integers. That does not mean that they can accurately perform mathematical operations on them. I'd assume that division is implemented as multiplying with the reciprocal (because t

without saying too much, the businesses all revolve around the fact that certain ad networks report data in such a way that its not usable by people. i pull the data once a day and create reports with a cronjob. the server is idle 99.999993

Do you believe that the solutions to "solve a sudoku" and "solve n queens" are significantly different?

yes. it is now a partnership. dont you read the news?

That's irrelevant. As an advertiser, you WANT people who don't want to see ads to run adblock. Because you don't get billed for those impressions from people who wouldnt have bought anyway. Adblock is a problem for publishers
