The article is wrong there. But I was under the impression they pay a lot less than internet radio, based on what I've read surrounding this case.

I agree with the locality part. I'm just starting to plan for landscaping my yard, and I'd love to be able to put in my area so I could browse plants that grow well here.

I know next to nothing about this stuff, except that to have someone else do it is expensive, so it would be great to have a site to make DIY easy, along with the option to go ahead and order my plants without having to visit the nursery (of which, there are strangely very many within 2 miles of me).

There are strangely many all over the country. Once I started looking, I noticed them everywhere whenever I drove outside the city.

As to DIY, one thing that worked well for me was printing out a photo of the area and bringing it to a local nursery. They helped us put together a nice little layout, which we of course bought right there. Then, a day of digging and you're done!

That's true, but whatever they are doing, it still sounds like they've got money to spend so they are spending it. 9.5 million in 6 months? That's a lot of servers and a lot of programmers working on a web app.

It could also mean your home life sucks.

I might have guessed it based on the source, but to save you some time: this really wasn't worth reading.

It's kind of cool to see an inside memo like that, but the content is rather "meh."

TC summarizes it:

>The iPhone 3GS’s launch gave AT&T its best sales day at its retail stores — ever, its second largest traffic day at retails stores, the most transactions it has ever processed in a day, the most orders through att.com in a single day ever and the biggest features sales day at att.com ever. Oh, and it led to the most upgrade eligibility checks ever, which is not surprising at all

Who cares? Breaking records for one day doesn't really mean much. Even in a small company, (or perhaps especially so? -- say so if you think that's the case) breaking /yearly/ records doesn't mean much.

My point is that there really isn't much news here. iPhone 3GS brought us record breaking sales for one day. We sent more texts than ever the day Michael Jackson died. Meh.

I didn't do anything special to have telnet working on my Vista install. Maybe this is an edition thing?

Lots of speculation, not much real information.

"Usually, binary search only makes sense in sorted arrays. We show that insertion sort based on repeated “binary searches” in an initially unsorted array also sorts n elements in time Theta(n^2 log n)."

At first I thought this is unsurprising - an insertion sort being n^2 and a search being log n, of course that's the running time.

But it's not the running time that is worth of mention here - it's the fact that they are doing insertion sort while "binary searching" an unsorted array, and still coming up with the correct answer, and a sorted array.

The time complexity is incidental to the interest of the paper. In that view, the paper's title is much better than the title here on HN.

That's not the algorithm I'm referring to.

I came to say the same. What could be simpler than the O(n^2) algorithms?

When I set Windows up on mine, I could not see the Mac partition from it, nor read/write without extra paid software. The software works so smoothly I could not recall its name since I've never had to interact with it. (Having looked it up now, it's called MacDrive).

I don't know how Windows-Linux, and Mac-Linux partition connections are visible between each other without similar pieces of software.

I do know that Mac was able to see Windows just fine for reading, but writing anything was impossible.
