2/10    size(NT5) = 2 * size(NT4).  Oh boy.
        \_ Twice the bloat, half the power, quadruple the bugs.  Although
           I'm pretty sure that size(NT?) will overflow anyway so this isn't
           a valid formula on most computational devices.  Might be computable
           if you had a *lot* of paper.
           \_ Isn't quadruple rather optimistic?
                \_ I was figuring it'd be quadruple after service pack 4 or 5.

8/24    Computational Geometry question: I have a bunch of points which I
        use to generate a tiling of unit sqaure by Delaunay triangulation.
        Given an arbitrary point in the unit square, I want to determine which
        triangle the point is in. Does this problem have a name? I'm trying
        to find see what algorithms are out there for doing this, but my
        Google fu is weak. I'd appreciate any tips/links.

6/3     Ok, who wants to share my recursion theory pain?  I just spent a really
        long time on a problem, and I want to make some volunteer suffer like
        I did.  If there's any interest, I ll post the problem. -- ilyas
        \_ Hah!  You want us to do your homework, huh?  The problem is
           trivial.  Check the man pages or look it up on Sun's website.
           \_ It's true that this is my homework, but I did make sure to do

3/31    CSUA math majors, I need to take Math 104 next semester. Since there
        are several sections, I want to pick the one taught by someone who's
        a decent lecturer and a fair grader. I can take it  with either of
        these profs: Mints, Yong, Sarason, Silver. Any good or bad experiences
        with these?
                \_ I've taken stuff with Sarason and Silver years ago.

1/13    I've been looking at intel's web site and can't find any sort of
        white paper on design principles that make the CPU keep up with
        moore's law.  I heard that things like the main components of
        performance is memory and manufacturing process.  The fancy stuff
        like pipelining hyperthreading etc, doesn't really do much.  The
        amount of onboard cache memory is still the determining factor in
