To steal information from a person is called plagiarism. To steal information 
from the enemy is called gathering intelligence.

Have no fear of perfection - you will never reach it

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.

Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.

Re: Question of speed - Flat file DBMS

[I.V. Aprameya Rao]

OK, i forgot to mention this.

The speed is a critical issue because there will be a competition and 
whosever solution is faster wins the prize.

Hence will a python solution be as fast as a C++ solution??

Question of speed - Flat file DBMS

[I.V. Aprameya Rao]

Hi

I have to implement a flat file dbms. The basic condition is that 
relations will be given in files and i will have to run certain select 
project join queries on those relations. 

Can someone tell me as to which language will be faster, python or C++??

samba/windows shares

[I.V. Aprameya Rao]

hi

does anybody know how to access samba/windows shares on a network? is 
there any module that does this?

i am running linux and i thought of using the mount command to mount that 
remote share and then access it, but i was wondering whether that is the 
right way?

long number multiplication

[I.V. Aprameya Rao]

hi

i have been wondering, how does python store its very long integers and 
perform aritmetic on it.

i needed to implement this myself and was thinking of storing the digits 
of an integer in a list.

however this would be very slow for operations like division etc.

so if anyone can point me to some links or some method on how to do this i 
would appreciate it
