Better yet is when you type "Ar" looking for "Arrow" and get

1) Arrow

2) Arboles

3) Area

And then type another 'r' before you realize your result is there ("Arr") and as you go to select "Arrow" the auto-suggest results turn into

1) Array

2) Arrogant

3) Arrow

Like, how does adding the second 'r' make "Array" higher probability than "Arrow"?!

> anyone else can just come along and beat you to the implementation

Pray tell, how might they do this when you know the method and they do not? Unless you developed the method, then went around telling random people before going about implementing it.

In those cases, users purely receive recommendations for media/products. In this case, users receive recommendations for other users to follow as well.

So, a classical theoretical model tailored to exactly match known results is validated. And a brand-spankin-new theoretical model based on a different approach is invalidated.

This means all assumptions of the classical model are correct and all those of the new model are incorrect? Doesn't sound right to me.

These tests are validating / invalidating the predictive power of specific models, not testing their underlying assumptions. Issues of supervenience will not be worked out for certain until we have models of which we are more confident.

Putting gum in a lock == vandalism == DOS of a physical location. Real dollars are lost etc. in that scenario.

Seriously... please just stop posting. You are strictly putting words in his mouth so you can have something to argue with.

Fancy cryptography, p2p networking, with web-based command and control: indestructible 'new' type of botnet, or practically identical to Zues? You decide!

Could use some user interaction on-site for discussing node; this would be a good place to showcase node based chat / social apps by integrating them into nodecloud.org

I still don't follow. Digit value rather than ASCII code... you mean Base64 digit value? If so, do you just ignore the pad char? (I mean... by "non-digit leaves" you are referring to the leaves represented by '=' and only those?)

EDIT: I understand now... jeez that was a run-around! Ascii encoded decimal! Thanks for the clarifying replies all over.

Any comment in regard to my question above? At present, question 2 has serious ambiguity as to how one should interpret the data. Clearly each character represents one node, but again, there is no clear procedure for converting values. Padding makes no sense in this context.

Can you clarify?

> binary tree is balanced and that each node is one character

I found that pretty intuitive given they tell us it is a tree with 2^n-1 nodes, and that this is then umber of characters in the text file.

What I'm wondering about is what the '=' pad character means in the context of non-valid base64 (i.e. isn't it the same as the 'A' character - a null?)

>There's the fact they're in the same basic industry and a realistic chance that Lamebook could be reasonably confused to be connected to Facebook by a normal person.

The basic industry is the web? That is a stretch. Does that mean anything else is in the basic industry of "physical things"?

Facebook is in the industry of social networking, while Lamebook is a 'lolpics' site targeted at funny things FROM Facebook. It seems like they are clearly doing what Facebook says they are (attempting to piggyback on brand recognition), using satire as a hook to get away with it.

Whether they will succeed I think depends on Facebook's ability to show that this use will harm their name / confuse their customers, and that seems doubtful. In a similar instance, Toys `R' Us successfully forced Guns `R' Us to change names; the case was made that parents would think that Toys `R' Us had a chain of gun stores!
