Why is integer linear programming usable as a mainstream method when it is NP-complete in the general case?

In answer to your undoubtedly deeply philosophical question, I can do naught but quote the famous - nay! - infamous Ronwell Quincy Dobbs: "Speak English, motherfucker!".

The question on everyone's mind.

Not for everyone! =)

Looking forward to celebrating tomorrow's International Workers' Day by being unemployed after two months of getting up in the morning. Too bad it probably won't last.

[LuckyDee]

Some us unfortunately have to celebrate it by going to work. On the other hand, we have today off to celebrate the birthday of a redundant monarch (ie the current one), on the date of birth of another redundant monarch (her mother). Americans look American when they're being patriotic, the Dutch simply tend to look stupid: "Oooooh I found an inflatable red, white and blue windmill that fits on my head...." I can't even continue this train of thought.

We have millions/billions to economize, which is along the same lines of the royal family's allowance, for looking nice in pictures with other world leaders. I know I'm a mope and this is just my opinion, but I won't be raising what's left of the flag until this costly charade is ended.

Ah, Flogging Molly - LuckyDee, you made my Monday morning :).

Yeah, isn't it amazing how some songs never fail to put you in a good mood? This one always does the trick for me, even though, upon closer inspection, the lyrics are actually really depressing. The raw energy of combined music and lyrics really gets my adreline going, though.

On a different note, there's some songs that never fail to get me melancholy. Check this one out, it's Dutch but you can probably find a halfway decent translation if you want (or I'll do it for you); the title roughly translates to 'All I want is to go swimming'. It starts of really laid-back, but the build-up is brilliant and when it reaches its peak it just makes you want to float around in bittersweet agony. This guy is a genius when it comes to slapping sounds and melodies together and create songs out of them - or, for that matter, slapping words and expressions together in order to convey a message. If the translation you might find doesn't make a lot of sense, then it might well be correct.

Or anything by these guys, of course. Hearing him croon 'Nothing compares to you' can't not put a smile on your face :)

Rammstein's Seemann never fails to make me happy. If you've never heard it, listen to it first. I may sound completely backwards, what with the song sounding how it is, but when it's playing and I look out the window, I seem to forget whatever was troubling me and take a few minutes to realise just how fortunate I am.

...And i just realised how dirty that first sentenced sounded when said without proper pronunciation

Blargh, after doing the homework for the class, I think I bombed my Cosmology test last Thursday.  Totally screwed up the relativistic degrees of freedom at temperatures around 1GeV...

No time for DoomRL until May 20.
The ice hockey world championship IS ON! :)

Heh :) Not much of a sports fan myself (although I like to play squash to keep in shape, and very much enjoy watching a good rugby match). I would be much obliged if you can post daily updates on numbers of teeth knocked out (hardest hitters, most easily bruised, etc). Random violence makes sport fun :)

[Silhar]

You don't receive much random violence in squash, do you? ;D
