Hi all! I once talked with someone (privately) and he suggested there that in the future we may see compilers implemented in hardware. I said it was not very ...
... Today's technology is sufficiently advanced that money hungriness for this kind of application is not an issue anymore. Chips (integrated circuits) with...
[mail from shlomi fish and omer zak truncated] i believe you are not too familiar with the code of a compiler. unlike encryption, which is math and "unified", ...

Hi, I am trying to charecterise a problem I have for my thesis. I am not a graphs person so I need some help with this one. I know its probably at least a TSP...
... I have no knowledge about this problem, sorry, but I just have a question: The case where there are very few cities is easy, because you can even run the...
... Yes its an idea of many, but of course many probably thought about it before me so reuse is better in this case. ... I wouldn't mind them going back just...
I just wanted to note, that if we're speaking of Euclidian or Euclidian space graph there are some very good approximation schemes for it (the I think it...

Let me try a different approach. I rethought it and maybe what I need is a minimum spanning tree with a twist. I.e. building m spanning trees in stages and in...

... That's the problem, I don't need more than 10Mb (documents only) and I've seen nothing less than 128Mb sold for about 150NIS, if someone has an old 64Mb...
I have a 8MB DiskOnKey. But the time and fuel loss due to the logistics involved in transferring it to you would cost both of us more than 100NIS unless you...

... Hi all Well, this really depends. What if the APIs are open, the specs are free etc. etc. BUT you have to get a signature on your code from micro^H^H^H^H^H...
Hi, Can someone clarify for me a few things about checksums like md5 or sha, etc...: - when you create a checksum from a specific string it will always return...
... Right. Such checksum are entirely deterministic on the string they process. ... Well, such hash functions should have a property that there's an equal...
Hi Tzahi, ... Are you interested in average-case situations, or in worst-case situations where you have an adversary working against you and trying to feed you...
well, I want to try something like: I have a set of f strings with a fixed upper bound on their size. actullay these strings are tuples in a relation. now you...
... lets say the above = P For large N and small f it would be close to 1. Well, I am not a mathematician, but is this applies to all checksums? For example if...
... Sorry, can't parse that. ... If your tuple set is a nice cartesian product AxBxZx...xZ, why don't you just store A,...,Z and check coordinate-wise...
... I meant f is a number. if we have n relations in a database and each relation is of size s_i then f could go up to s_1*s_2*...*s_n ... I reffered to the...
... There are several questions which you should ask yourself: 1. How many bits of hash code are "enough", to keep the error risk very low? For all intents and...
