For me it's less intuitive than a tree, but you can use a matrix to express all possible strategies of a two-player sequential game. This can help you visualize credible vs. noncredible threats from the second player. Ultimately I think the tree is more helpful in solving it visually, though.

Great explanation, thanks for posting that!

Technically, yes, but HN has an 80 char limit in the title. ;)

A vacuum sucks a lot more than Microsoft.

Google vs. Wolfram Alpha is something I'm ok with.

I'd rather type 2\pi than \frac{\tau}{2}.

Having implemented AKS in Python and Sage, it can get pretty slow - obviously, nowhere near a good probabilistic test even to a staggering degree of certainty. That said, most of the algorithm is very quick. It might be smart to run its basic compositeness tests, do a pseudoprime test, and only do the polynomial mod operation if the number passes.

Don't forget AKS, which is deterministic and faster than trial division. Can be a bit of a pain to implement though.

Since Corporations are People, how would UMG be charged with a felony?

@cmdrtaco: not so sure about that one... ;)

Not that I don't want to support you guys for doing something awesome like this, but I wish the "Like" button showed appropriate meta-content on my facebook wall, instead of just a generic description of SendWrite. Also, donated. :)
