4/26 i'm trying to interface my network to a BEC(bose einstein condensate). how do i avoid exceeding the speed of light from dephasing. I know there are many experts here please help. should i use a gravitonic pulse? \_ die thread, die. \_ no, you need to use chronometric particles in conjunction with an oscillating tachyon pulse. make sure your phase buffers are aligned, or everything will go kablooie. \_ You need a HYPER-oscillating tachyon pulse! -- Wesley |

4/26 Is it possible to find the median value of a group of numbers in O(N)? \_ Yes, but in practice people use an O(n log n) solution. -op \_ Yes; there is a fairly simple randomized algorithm which does this with high probability, and a non-trivial deterministic algorithm that people don't usually bother with. If N is really large, it's probably worth your time to look into the former (see section 3.3 of Motwani&Raghavan, where it's called "LazySelect"; the original paper is Floyd&Rivest, CACM 18:165-172, 1975, but it may well be rather unreadable; M&R also gives refs for the deterministic algorithms). -alexf \_ you can sort numbers in O(n) with radix sort and counting sort. \_ sorting is normally assumed to be O(n lg n) \_ and your point is...? |

4/26 What exactly is socks5? \_ See RFC 1928: http://www.socks.nec.com/rfc/rfc1928.txt Basically it is a way of connecting disconnected firewalled networks using a application layer proxy |
