Answer to Monday's Odd Magic Square Question

On Monday the programming question was about odd magic squares (e.g., 3x3, 5x5, 7x7). The Java program had to position sequential numbers in a square so that the rows, columns and diagonals all add up to the same number.

Answer to Monday's Doubly-Even Magic Square Question

Monday's programming question was a continuation of the Java program used for the odd magic squares question. I posted a method to create doubly-even magic squares and the task was to modify the old program. It needed to only accept odd or doubly-even numbers from the user, make either kind of magic square, and display it to the user along with its magic constant number.

Trail of Odd Anthrax Cells Led FBI to Army Scientist

In late October 2001, lab technician Terry Abshire placed a tray of anthrax cells under a microscope and spotted something so peculiar she had to look twice. It was two weeks after the country's worst bioterrorism attack, and Abshire, like others at the Army's Fort Detrick biodefense lab, was caught up in a frenzied search for clues that could help lead to the culprit. Down the hall, Bruce E. Ivins, the respected vaccine specialist, was looking, too.

It may be the start of an entirely new page in the often rocky relationship between Google and Hollywood. After a couple of years of verbal sniping and legal threats, the two sides are moving to resolve their long-running disputes.

Bank of America Customers Can Keep the Change

Thirty-odd years after Merrill Lynch launched its Cash Management Account (CMA) to sweep uninvested account balances into an interest-earning money market, Bank of America has come up with its own take on a sweep account. It has launched a savings program around its debit card that rewards clients for their purchases by helping them save and then matching their savings up to $250 a year.

Migraines Cut Breast Cancer Risk

In an odd twist of fate, women who suffer migraines are at significantly lower risk for breast cancer, a new study finds.

Using FPGAs in consumer electronics

It may seem odd to be reading about analog-audio and -video processing when the industry is currently focusing on the analog transmission switch-off and the digital-broadcasting successor. However, for legacy reasons and because of the increase in demand from markets that have later switch-off dates, such as East Europe, India, and South America, it is likely that analog decoding will be a requirement well into the next decade.

It’s been an odd day on E4 today. We came out of our stealth mode - which didn’t really do much for us - we just carried on as normal.

Why Universal Wants To Kill Redbox: It's Launching Its Own DVD Kiosks

It did seem a little odd that Universal Studios was trying to bully Redbox into an agreement that would kill off the DVD vending machine company. After all, having Redbox out there renting some movies (which it paid for) certainly seems better than it not even being an option. Initially, we just chalked it up to Universal trying to make sure it had more control over the rental market -- but a bunch of readers this morning are pointing out that there may be a much more direct reason. It turns out that Universal Studios is launching its own DVD kiosk system. Initially, it's in the UK, but it's likely there are plans to offer them in the US as well. So now the ridiculous "take it or leave it" bullying threat from Universal Studios to Redbox makes a lot more sense: it was designed to force a competitor out of business so Universal could have

If CTOs Want to Pay for Open Source, We Should Let Them

Paying for open source seems an odd idea to some people. But as Serdar Yegulalp pointed out in his InformationWeek blog, Alfresco VP and CNET News blogger Matt Asay spoke to several CTOs this week who indicated they would rather pay open source companies for proprietary additions or extensions than contribute code. Asay said:

Finland questions Russian camouflage

Hard Times Prompt P&G, Google to Swap Ideas

Procter & Gamble and Google may seem like an odd couple, but that was the point of their recent collaboration. With the economic downturn compelling executives to think outside their boxes, the venerable consumer products company wanted fresh ideas to promote its iconic brands online, while Google sought insights into P&G's much more conservative corporate culture.

VVS, the Australia specialist

Before the Delhi Test began, there was the odd story doing the rounds that India might jettison a batsman and play five bowlers instead. The man supposedly in line for the chop was VVS Laxman, which really tells you all you need to know about how cricket-savvy some journalists are. Frankly, dropping Laxman against Australia made about as much sense as asking Shane Warne to sit out against the English. As Adam Gilchrist said with something approaching awe after witnessing a glorious 178 at the SCG in January 2004, "VVS seems extraordinary each time we play him. We can't work out why he then goes away, and is left out of the team."

Tecmo Bowl, Robocalypse Set to Hit DS on Nov. 18

Tecmo's shipping both DS-exclusive games on the same day. The decision seems odd, since Tecmo's game lineup seems pretty slim. Why ship your company's biggest holiday games on the same day?
