P Is not equal to NP

Vinay Deolalikar, a mathematician working at HP Labs, has demonstrated a solution to the P versus NP problem to determine whether problems that can be verified in polynomial time can also be solved in polynomial time.


His paper may be found @ http://www.win.tue.nl/~gwoegi/P-versus-NP/Deolalikar.pdf

Engkoo

Engkoo, at www.engkoo.com , is written in Chinese with two characters meaning "English" and "vault."

It has a core of translation data that Microsoft draws from sources such as dictionaries, which it licenses from their publishers. That content is mixed with data that Microsoft gleans by such methods as sweeping the Web for sites with parallel Chinese and English versions.
