  Re: Website move
 
(...) The domain name is the fully qualified host name. If you need DNS to look it up, it's a domain name - the "host" in the RFC. That's what it's a "Domain Name Service" :) Anything after the / is part of the path, as defined in the HTTP RFC (...)

  Re: connect four
 
(...) This interested me for a while-- I wrote a recursive program once that would look X ply into the game, though because I never stored state information, it took ridiculously exponentially longer with each value of X. Something like 6 ply was (...) (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Access Help
 
James & All, (...) Yes, I have a total query, where it is running a sum of all the data from a date range (say 1/1/02 to 12/31/02 or whatever). The value I am trying to evaluate is a calculated sum of various percentages of our recovery numbers, in (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Access Help
 
Scott, Can you post and example of the type of queries you have been trying? I know you said they where giving you errors, but at least we'd have an idea of what you are trying to do. jt (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Access Help
 
To All, I have been working on a project at work for over a year now, converting an Excel Production Recap program into an Access program. I have been successful converting it, outside of some small issues, which I have finally resolved in the last (...) (22 years ago, 7-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Now the stakes are higher....
 
(...) Effectively, he's right but he's not giving things the probability they're due. In his solution, the (r1 r2) choice is GUARANTEED that no matter which one you reveal (r1 or r2), the one revealed will be red. However, with, say, (r1 b), there's (...)

So now he says he's willing to put 100 dollars on the 1 in 5... I'm swayed back to the 1 in 3... So here's the original question-- If you have 4 marbles in a bag, 2 are red, 1 is blue, 1 is white You grab 2 marbles from the bag at the same time One (...)

(...) Ok, here's where I'll take it from. The car is behind one of the doors, so the probabilities must add up to 1. 3 doors, 1/3 of a chance for each door. You pick door 1. There is a 1 in 3 chance the car is behind that door. There is a 2 in 3 (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) This analysis assumes there is a percievable difference between the red balls, which as originally stated, there isn't. It's similar to the difference between combinations and permutations. The two permutations you've listed with a red ball in (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Why not? There are two different red balls, so each of those red balls is equally likely as the white ball to be in my hand. (...) No, because you only tried to remove r2. We are only removing *a* red ball from the bag; because there are 2 red (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
