  1. Hello all, This is my first post on this forum so I apologise if its out of the ordinary. I am curious as to what the difference is bewteen the Masters of Science in Computer Science is, vs the Masters of Science in Applied Computer Science. Which looks better on a resume? And which degree would you want in what field of work?

  2. I'm trying to get a feel for the scale of negative impact that the division operation involved in the factorization of large primes has on computational time. Hypothetically speaking, if you could replace all division operations on large numbers with a multiplication operation on the same numbers instead, while assuming it achieved the same goals of course. What factor increase in efficiency do you think we would gain?

    It seems easy to me that we can make use of quantum entanglement for broadcast however is it possible to make use of quantum entanglement for multicast?? Lets say that we could use the broadcast for dns how would dns tell the computer how to entangle with the server?? It is basically entangling particles at a distance so do the particles we entangle have to be right beside each other when we entangle them??

    Hello, How would you change windows explorer so that you can have a file in two different locations without the file being copied? That seems like it would save a lot of space.

    Hi, One of my relative is graduating from bachelors degree in IT and has applied for masters course in the US. He received an offer from University of Pennsylvania which is a one year program called Masters in computer graphics and game technology. We are not sure if that program is good compared to other programs considering it's a one year course. His other applications are two years masters degree.

    I was asked to make an algorithm for TSP in determinstic polynomial time. input = list of cities and their distances of length n. Each city is seperated by a space e.g. "distance,distance,distance distance,distance,distance distance,distance,distance" k = number of cities = found by reading k distances. we populate strings t[] of length k on k! tapes containing all instaces of k! 0000,0001 etc by reading string of length n; each t[] is replaced by string index; 0214 = cities[0][0] cities[1][2] cities[2][1] cities[3][4]. replace all t[] with their sum which is equivalent to the distances between the cities. find the minimum of t[]; findi…

  11. Hello everybody! Microsoft has released a patch against Wannacry (aka Wannacrypt, WanaCrypt0r 2.0, Wanna Decryptor) even for Windows XP but if you browse with XP or anything less than Seven, their page won't work. That is, you can get the US-English patch for XP, or a translated patch for XP embedded. None applies directly on a Windows XP that is neither English nor Embedded. So here are the download addresses for the translated patches for XP sp3: http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/csa/csa/secu/2017/02/windowsxp-kb4012598-x86-custom-ara_ec0e5c3d7d1433686c5d59a144d25f99d2e42945.exe http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/csa/csa/secu/2017/02/windowsxp-kb4012598-x86-custom…

  12. (Part A) In early machine learning days, researchers coded programs with specific rules to respond to as many scenarios as the researchers themselves could imagine. However, when unforeseen scenarios came along, their programs quickly broke/failed. (Part B) Modern machine learning now learns rules automatically, and fail far less, achieving human level performance on narrow cognitive tasks. However, there are still problems with modern machine learning, and separately, researchers are still manually designing the basis nodes/connections (artificial neurons/synapses) involved in these modern automatic rule learning models. (Part C) So, I then investigate …

    Dear All, I'm in the process of choosing a modeling environment for my project and would be extremly thankful to get your feedback on this: my task is to perform global optimizations (probably MINLP) on industrial energy systems including electricity/heat storage options and renewable energy modules. After some research on the different available tools my thoughts are followings: - Modelica and Matlab provide really good model librarys: for example Modelica offers the libraries TechThermo for energy storage systems, WindPowerPlants for Wind Turbines, ElectricalEnergyStorage, PhotoVoltaics - the current best optimization software is available under GAMS modeli…

  14. September 11th, 2001 was a Tuesday morning. I remember it well because I had no scheduled classes that day so when I woke up, with no understanding of what was going on, I only remember that classes were canceled and it meant nothing to me. It wasn’t until someone urged me to turn on the television to, “any channel” that I realized how much our world was about to change. Little did I know how perceptive I really was of that without really knowing until 15 years later. The calendar year has approximately 365.2424 days in it, which means, about every four years we fall one day behind, but once every 400 years, we need to skip a leap year in order for the days to remain syn…

    So, I came across a paper that talked about something called context-oriented programming. My understanding of it is the program adapts based on the environment in which it is being run in, including hardware environment and other factors that can involve sensors. http://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2008_03/article4/ While I feel that I have interpreted the article correctly, I feel I am missing something about it. Also, does anyone know if any languages have applied this paradigm besides what is specified in the article? I want to know about this stuff to determine if I want to apply some independent research for this kind of thing.

  19. Suppose I want to change a string from left to right 001001 to 000010 010010 to 000100 Etc. In one pass is there any way to work out the minimum number of bits I would have to read at one time? At first glance it appears I could use the levenstein distance but that wouldn't find the most optimal solution.

    P versus NP is considered one of the great open problems of science. This consists in knowing the answer of the following question: Is P equal to NP? This incognita was first mentioned in a letter written by John Nash to the National Security Agency in 1955. Since that date, all efforts to find a proof for this huge problem have failed. I show a solution to that problem as follows: Given a number x and a set S of n positive integers, MINIMUM is the problem of deciding whether x is the minimum of S. We can easily obtain an upper bound of n comparisons: find the minimum in the set and check whether the result is equal to x. Is this the best we can do? Yes, since we can …
