I had the opportunity of interacting with Gu and Bob Bixby of GuRoBi(& CPLEX). Some of the most talented OR scientists.

I think your definition of Integer programming is not correct. Integer programming or Mixed Integer Programming assumes that the solution has the all or some variables, integers. Most of the Integer programming models are usually using binary variable to indicate decisions.

Further, I think you tried to describe Linear programming in the beginning of your post. But Linear programming searches the vertices of the polytope and not the edges.

The biggest issue with Integer programming is the lack of convexity of the solution space when compared to Linear programming. So the approach for solving them is very different compared to Linear programming. If I made any mistakes in my post, I welcome to be corrected.

Really? Not that I'm doubting you. Could you please provide me a link so that i can educate myself?

I think a web based killer is very far away in the time line. I recently was trying to make a huge gird in Photoshop and my i7+10gbRAM computer was unable to handle it. I think very simple stuff like annotating and cropping/red-eye fix can be done but I think a web based photo editor will fail when huge performance is required.

Completely unrelated and Sorry for derailing but isn't it cart before the horse? I mean the horse is always in front of the cart. I am not a native English speaker. Am i missing anything?

I hope you are doing fine now.

By any chance, do you have a link to them?

Definitely useful. Thanks !

Calling Stallman a jerk is definitely uncalled for. I personally think he is the epitome of everything that is right with the Computer Science. It is your prerogative to distribute the software however you like. Remember that Stallman created something which most of us can only sapire about.

Region restricted. Yet they wonder why people pirate content.

How good is this book for a complete beginner? I am starting to learn C in my free time and I have no objective way to judge this book.

India. No offense taken. FWIW, I can afford toilet paper. I just don't use it as I am habituated to using my hand. In case you are wondering, I can guarantee that the number of people who use their hand to clean their bottoms is much more than the combined population of USA.

I still don't use toilet paper. I used one when I had access to it(in a hotel). I knew toilet paper existed as once when I saw it in movies or read about it.

You will probably hate me for giving some graphic details but I had never used Toilet paper for the first 21 years of my life.(I am 22 BTW). I didn't even use a bidet. Just my left hand and water. I know this might be considered very disgusting but it is very common from where I am.
