For one, octrees would allow you to not have to spend any cpu time gathering polygons together. Two, "complicated"? triangles are triangles.. their orientation has no affect on rendering time, especially without occlusion.

It's that last step that might require trying every possible combination, in the event that the answer to all your first questions turn out to be "no". Don't forget that, indeed, there might not be a way to sort the rocks that results in 2 equal weight piles.

As long as you remember the caveat that there are lots of problems *way* harder than NP, a lot of which are somewhat ironically called "NP-hard". NP is a subset of the hard problems in the world.

Triangles are triangles. However, flat triangles with simple lighting are not antialiased multitextured mipmapped alpha-blended vertex-shaded texture-shaded tesselated multi-light-source etc etc triangles. Minecraft seems to use something more like the former and less like the latter. I'd still want to see a profile trace that says it's a win with actual code. Humans make terrible profilers.

This whole idea is ridiculous. Firefox is not a self-contained application. It is a platform. When the version changes, things break. The only thing keeping Firefox alive at this point is its wide variety of extensions. If they start becoming unfriendly to extensions such that they break randomly, they're going to start seeing market share plummet. Version numbers, and unforced "breaking" updates are critical to this. Why can't these people get it?

maybe you're lacking some basic understanding, like what a self-signed certificate actually is... since you don't have a CA, the cert has to meet some basic criteria like matching your domain name or computer name, etc.. there are a few other rules for self-signed certs, look it up and stop being lazy. there is a reason this process is not simple, if it were i could easily install self-signed certs on a another PC via usb... also, the actual steps are different in every environment, as some admins modify internet explorer policies.

No, that's not the point. As the article said, some NP problems take, say, O(2^n) time to solve. That's not "forever', just "ridiculously long". The question is whether they can be solved in polynomial time -- that is, O(n^k), for some constant k.

So here's a little confession. When I was around 17, having read about both Fermat and the P?=NP problem, I used to fantasyze that someone (namely myself) could have found a demonstration (of P**=**NP) with the basic mathematics and CS notions I had at the time. In particular, the 4n+1 theorem struck me like incredibly natural, and I found it weird that nobody noticed it before Fermat, so maybe if I played with a ruler and some points on a piece of paper long enough ... (I still think about it sometimes before falling asleep)

This is a ridiculous article. Metro is designed for tablets ONLY. No one in their right mind would use Metro on their desktop or laptop. The whole UI is based around finger manipulation. People are getting serious misinformation about Windows 8. Metro is NOT the default Windows 8 user interface and the vast majority of users will NEVER see it and NEVER use it. Microsoft needs to clarify this publicly because there are way too many idiots posting nonsense articles like this that are just freaking people out.

Your shoddy writing is nothing compared to the horrible inaccuracies in your article. "Flash and Silverlight will be effectively unusable when Windows 8 is released." Seriously? Where the heck did you get that information and, most importantly, why in the world would you even believe that? Metro is a secondary UI on Windows 8. Secondary. Please correct your misinformation.

> I can't help but think this will be one more example of Microsoft developing an API, getting some portion of their developer base to use it, only to officially drop it later while also having to support it forever. This is what platform companies DO. For example, MS introduced the VB runtime a loooong time ago - 1993? And the VB6 runtime was finalized in 1998. Apparently they announced that the VB6 runtime would not ship in Windows 8. So, 14 years of a platform. That seems like a pretty good run, for a domain in which evolution has been rapid, to say the least. the .NET CLR has been working since 2002, and here we are a decade later, it's still going. I think it's a little facile to characterize Microsoft's past history as "publish it then drop it later" . Sure, you can identify little cul-de-sacs of APIs that fit this pattern. That is to be expected when the platform is as far-reaching as it has become. But for the OS? The basic OS platform? No. "publish and drop" has not been the pattern at all.

think future, not today. i think that if future devices are built similar to the ASUS transformer, it will be a perfect bridge of HW / SW. Windows 8 is just going to help us get there. And I'm sure you'd be impressed with what can run on current gen tablets, yet alone next gen. Existing tablet OSes are underwhelming and not fully utilizing the hardware that is out / slated to come out this fall, and this is where Win8 will come in and make the HW rock!

You won't have to switch to the desktop mode. Desktop mode is the default mode. You'll have to switch to a mode that severely limits what you can possibly do. It's a novelty that people will do a few times when it is first released but if you don't own a tablet you'll NEVER use it.

Vector/matrix processors aren't going to cut your overall runtime by anything but a constant factor. The point of a complexity analysis isn't to give a practical runtime, but to say how the runtime scales with input size. If adding one element to the input doubles the runtime, even if you're spreading the jobs across 256 cores, it's O(2^n).

That's my point--they usually don't "publish and drop", they "publish and have to support forever, even after it outlives its active development base". It's not good for either Microsoft or their developers in the long run. Just look at the upheaval over the (supposed) dropping of Silverlight in Windows 8.

> This is a new COM. It supports classes, not just interfaces, constructors, inheritance, and numerous other things that the .NET and JavaScript developers wanted. This is kind of an admission that .NET has not lived up to its goal, isn't it? .NET was supposed to be the VM of everything, and in .NET you don't need something like COM. The fact that Microsoft has launched an improved COM implies that Microsoft realizes .NET will not be the VM for everything. Instead you will need to interoperate between C++, JS and .NET. Dunno if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but interesting.

Except the rant wasn't accurate. He was mostly wrong. Too bad he has been working with TFS for 3+ yrs. He claims that he cannot checkout a file without using Visual Studio. Preposterous. The powertools were available years ago. There's even an emacs binding for the TFS power tools. Says he can't mark a file read/write without the network. Seriously? I mean... seriously? If I was his boss, I would fire him, for not knowing.

It really depends on usage. If you pull down a core set of functionality and dynamically load giant piles of desktop-only code, you can create a faster mobile experience. Also, deferring retrieval of "the next thing" can make your app more responsive, for certain values of "the next thing". With careful management, this can be a powerful thing. Otherwise it becomes a horror.

Mathematics has trolled harder in the past. Like continuous but nowhere differentiable functions, or the fact that you can't define area in any reasonable way for every set of real numbers (assuming the axiom of choice). Hell, the ultimate troll would be if P = NP is undecidable and can be taken as an axiom. Philosophy of science would turn to alcoholism.

Not only Metro the primary UI there is a possibility that it will be the only UI on ARM machines. Non Metro applications are second class citizens in many ways. They cannot participate in charms or use the new printing engine. Nor can they use the new extensible file picker that unifies your local storage with your online accounts. All this may change, but right now this is what they are planning.

> look it up and stop being lazy Lovely. **EDIT**: "-401 comment karma" Oh, you seem to be some kind of Microsoft Troll. I've done this countless times. It's no hassle in either Linux (on varied distributions) or OS X. The point wasn't to criticize the SSL/CA system but the *terrible usability experience* of Microsoft's software and its poor documentation. On top of that, it seems the procedure changed significantly from XP to Vista to 7 (making explanations outdated or even more confusing). Also note who wrote that on StackOverflow *wasn't me*. I've been working with internet servers at ISPs using SSL and X509 since the 90's. And that' computer was installed from scratch very default with Win 7 (no crazy corporate policy). *Stop assuming*. Simplicity of installing certificates has *nothing* to do with security.

I'd use the very nature of octrees to combine polygons. When a surface is no longer flat, the octree gets a new branch... I'd only have to check for collapsing or expanding the tree when the map changes, which is rarely. For lighting, that does get a little more complicated... I'd start with a simple GLSL vertex shader for gouraud shading (phong and blinn shading would be pointless for cubes). The trickiest part is that opengl is limited to 8 light sources, so I'd have to fake it. Instead of using light sources at the vertices, I'd keep the current software-based light calculations and use the per-branch intensity as my inputs... and the fragment shader would be just the gouraud interpolation plus texturemap plus shadowmap.

Silverlight has (had?) huge momentum in the corporate vertical market line-of-business application space. This is the biggest market of all --- yes, there are more specialty one-off apps than shrink wrapped and public web apps combined. Silverlight allowed those with existing .NET skills (a huge number of developers) to quickly build very nice web deployed apps inside their company. There is nothing (except Flash/Flex/Air/whatever it is called) that compares. And no, HTML/CSS/JavaScript does not compare. As a public facing, consumer oriented technology, Silverlight unfortunately failed except for limited media use like Netflix.
