So, we were at Crepeville at last meeting and I was telling another member I was using glib-2.0 to do hash tables because it appeared that they did some things to optimize things. So, there was a feature I mentioned and he questioned why they would have that for the use with hash tables. I couldn't justify why at the time. Looked back and it clicked exactly why. It's an interesting phenomenom, especially in the field of crypto.
Here is a little trick question relating to it. What is the least number of clock cycles you can do the following operation (Regular CPU of course)? 20 % 7 Hint: There is something special about the number 7 that makes this problem unique. brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ "About 3 million computers get sold every year in China, but people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade." -- Bill Gates (Microsoft) 1998 _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
