In IE making border radii round is a huge pain, but in firefox and chrome its a stimple css command. Should the CSS command be used, or shouid people try to go for the all supported bit in IE. IE9 will allow border radii, but you'll still have legacy browsers open. Any idea?

Yahoo and bing want a small corner of the market, by this point I'm quite sure they realize they will never catch up with google. Maybe they will, but it's highly unlikely. On the other hand, the ad revenue from even the small section they get may be worth still having the search engine open, though I would have to check on it before I would make any bets.

I want to cheaply put together a server for my fun and enjoyment. The issue, it must be cheap. Any suggestions?

I was wondering what the yahoo page ranking algorithm, and if anyone has a link? I find these algorithms to be cool, if not simplistic and bueatiful. Thanks for the help.

French President Sarkozy Wants To Ban The Burka

Fair enough -
How about the non slate touchpads, the ones with both a touchscreen and a keyboard?

But you must admit pagerank is awesome.

It was an amazing breakthrough to even make the theory, and you can't insult one man for not realizing everything about it. We are still finding information on age old math theorems, so I think we can give him some slack.

Einstein Quiz Can you solve this problem?
slidstream replied to doctor's topic in Science and Technology
They gave that to us in high school, middle school, and possibly elementary school (though I do not remember...). Either way, we all solved it, so I highly doubt the 98% is still correct... If it is, then, that is a very shocking conundrum... -
This may be way to broad, in both CS and Math. My personal favorite algorithm may be the PageRank, because it is just so beautifully done, it really is, look at it. But there are many more, graph theories max-flow min-cut, or the shortest distance between to vertices. But there are many others, take number theories algorithm for finding if two numbers are prime to eachother, simply cool.So, what is your favorite algorithm, and why? Do you have a programming example to show us?

I would suggest checking their GODLY page rank system. It's very easy to understand, and it is extremely beautiful. It is the main part of how google decides what to give you in what order. There are also some competency issues that they had to quickly work out, but well worth the look, if you have the time, learn it.

I Need You To Help Me Find A Runescape Like Game runescape
slidstream replied to onyxgem's topic in Computer Gaming
If your interested in a new game, I just tried The Mana World, it seems altogether pretty decent. It's on the package manager, so apt-get the command line if your running a debian sys. -
Where To Find Notepad++ For Linux ?
slidstream replied to XIII's topic in Websites and Web Designing
GNU Emacs (22?) is the way to go, or VIM if your that kind of person. -
As an undergraduate cs math major, I do quite a bit of coding. I prefer linux because it seems to have a better ability to write code. That is, its more enjoyable, and its much more apt to command line usage. I personally don't really go to the linux gui all to often, I always have an X-Session, but besides Firefox it's usually just sitting there.
