As noted on several articles, including:

"A review of internal architectural diagrams obtained by the AP revealed the system's complexity. Insurance applicants have a host of personal information verified, including income and immigration status. The system connects to other federal computer networks, including ones at the Social Security Administration, IRS, Veterans Administration, Office of Personnel Management and the Peace Corps."

Did those documents ever get released publically or just to AP? I am curious about their design. Quick searches didn't turn anything up for me, yet.

I have been using HostGator shared hosting as a low cost solution to host some of my start up ideas over the past year or so. Unfortunately any time a site gets a decent amount of traffic, my account gets disabled for server load or something of that nature. For those of you that outsource your hosting, what sites have you used that you like? My main requirements are PHP, SQL, ruby, and python.

Thanks!

I was discussing with some friends at work some of the worst algorithms (in terms of Big O), like Bogo Sort, Stooge Sort, etc... We were trying to think of how one could write a procedure with O(n^n) and all of our attempts ended up being infinite or much less than n^n.

I would imagine we just didn't think in the correct terms. Unfortunately, neither Google nor Wolframalpha were any help finding one from my searches.

Thanks!

Okay, well I am graduating from college as a Computer Science major and we were taught the usual C++, Java, etc... but obviously we never got much into the ancient languages. However, the job I got is part of a team converting a companies' applications from COBOL to Java. So, I would like to learn as much COBOL as possible in 2 weeks. Does anyone know of any good tutorials out there that can teach such an outdated language? Note that I have googled for some and got some okay results, but nothing that looks particularly wonderful for learning business level COBOL.

Also, if anyone else has been in a similar situation, I would be very interested to hear about your experiences.

Thank you!
