Hi there
Here is my solution for the first practice exercise of Google Code Jam 2008, called Alien Numbers.
I haven’t had much time to code recently, due to exams, but didn’t resist and took a look at the first exercise ![]()
I did it in C.

Hello there
This post is for those who are able to play Call Of Duty 4 in single player mode, but are experiencing multiplayer crashes (CTD’s).
Most of the times (not always) this is due to RealTek(TM) sound drivers. If you have a RealTek(TM) on-board sound card then this is very likely the reason why you are having problems when running on multiplayer. Apparently there are also some problems with Sigmatel® on-board sound cards. The solution presented in this post however, is for RealTek(TM) sound cards only. For Sigmatel® owners you may want to try to update your audio drivers from dell.com.
Below there are a few known fixes for this problem (only one is guaranteed though).
Not guaranteed solutions:
Solution 1: Plug in a microphone/headphone into your microphone and headphone jacks.
Solution 2: Go to ‘Control Panel -> (Hardware and Sound) -> Sound’ and one by one, select all the audio devices in the ‘Playback’ tab list, go to ‘Properties’, select the ‘Advanced’ tab and disable the ‘Give exclusive mode applications priority’ option. Click ‘Apply’ and ‘Ok’.
Remember to do this to all the playback devices in the list.
If this doesn’t work, try to do the same to the ‘Recording’ tab devices in ‘Sound’ properties also.
Solution 3: Go to ‘Control Panel -> (Hardware and Sound) -> Sound’, select the ‘Recording’ tab, right click in the window and enable ‘Show Disabled Devices’. ‘Stereo Mix’ should now be visible…right click it and ‘Enable’ it. Press’Ok’.
Solution 4: Update your RealTek(TM) sound card drivers.
Guaranteed solutions:
If you tried all the solutions above and you’re still experiencing problems when playing Call Of Duty 4 in multiplayer then you probably have to uninstall your sound card drivers to fix the problem.
Before you proceed though, it is recommended for you to take note of the make and model of your sound card for later reinstallation.
To remove your sound card, go to ‘Add/Remove Programs’ search for your RealTek(TM) sound card drivers and uninstall them.
If you can not find your drivers there, then go to the ‘Device Manager’ in ‘Control Panel’, and look for your sound card (probably under ‘Sound, video and game controllers’). Right click it and select ‘Uninstall’. After that, reboot your pc.
This should fix your problem.
If you’re running Windows Vista, your sound card default drivers will be installed automatically and you should not witness any sound problem. If you’re not running Windows Vista and your sound card does not work then you may want to reinstall your sound card drivers.
Happy Gaming!

Note: This problem exists till Call Of Duty 4 version 1.7 at least. It is possible that future versions/patches of the game correct this problem.

Simply beautiful music!
I really enjoy listening to these two. It’s calm and nice, with excellent music quality. She (Yael Naim) also looks pretty cool and she is very beautiful, specially when she wears those fantastic dresses (I like them :P).
I wish them the best of luck!

That’s right, the revolution is coming…and it’s gonna be big!
Civilization Revolution is the new and most recent work of Sid Meier, developed by Firaxis for the new generation consoles: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo DS.
Even though PC gamers (and Civ fans) won’t be able to play Revolution on their PC’s, this new Civilization game by Sid Meier looks pretty amazing with tons of new features and abilities.
Even Sid Meier is looking forward for the release having said “This is the game I’ve always wanted to make.”
If Civilization 4 was a success and for many the best strategy game of the year (rated ‘9.4 Editors’ Choice’ by GameSpot), then Civilization Revolution will blow you away.
For those who don’t know, Civilization is a series of turn-based strategy games ‘created’ by Sid Meier, since 1990 with the very first Civilization, followed by Sid Meier’s Civilization II (1996), Sid Meier’s Civilization III (2001), Sid Meier’s Civlization IV (2005), and now Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution (2008).
Civilization series have come a long way now and Revolution is better than ever.

(Sid Meier)
In this new game you will find 16 civilizations (USA - Abraham Lincoln, England - Queen Elizabeth I, China - Mao Zedong, Japan - Tokugawa Ieyasu, Aztecs - Montezuma, India - Mohandas Gandhi, Mongolia - Ghenghis Khan, Rome - Julius Caesar, Egypt - Cleopatra, France - Napoleon Bonaparte, Arabia - Saladin, Greece - Alexander, Spain - Isabella I, Germany - Otto von Bismark, Zulu Nation - Shaka Zulu, Russia - Catherine the Great), an invaluable Civilopedia, a streamlined time scale for quicker play, a fully featured online play mode up to 4 players, integrated videos and voice chatting, in-game achievements, and extra downloadable content. The game also has highly detailed characters, units, buildings, landscapes and visual effects, with an amazing integrated physics for ultra-realism. In-game interface has been improved as well and it now looks awesome…pretty simple and nice.
The new Civilization Revolution intends to attract new gamers and to make the game more playable by all ages by trying to change the classic playing style of Civ. For example, game speed is now very different and you can end a game in only a few hours instead of previous Civ versions (which can be not cool for classic Civ fans, but cooler for first timers).

Preview:
The game will be released on July 7 and so far it looks awesome.
I’m really looking forward this since Civilization series are my favorite…it’s a shame that I don’t have a PS3 or an XBox360.
Goodbye and take care!
