Arthur C. Clarke - The Nine Billion Names of God “This is a slightly unusual request,” said Dr. Wagner, with what he hoped was commendable restraint. “As far as I know, it’s the first time anyone’s been asked to supply a Tibetan monastery with an Automatic Sequence Computer. I don’t wish to be inquisitive, but I should hardly have thought that your — ah — establishment had much use for such a machine. Could you explain just what you intend to do with it?” “Gladly,” replied the lama, readjusting his silk robes and carefully putting away the slide rule he had been using for currency conversions. “I don’t quite understand....” “This is a project on which we have been working for the last three centuries — since the lamasery was founded, in fact. “Naturally.” “It is really quite simple. “I beg your pardon?” “We have reason to believe,” continued the lama imperturbably, “that all such names can be written with not more than nine letters in an alphabet we have devised.” “And you have been doing this for three centuries?” “Oh,” Dr. “I see.

TR-069 Other forums, such as the Home Gateway Initiative (HGI), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) and WiMAX Forum endorsed CWMP as the protocol for remote management of home network devices and terminals (such as the DVB IPTV set-top box). There is a growing trend to add TR-069 management functionality to home networking devices behind the gateway, as well as many other access devices like M2M,[3] FTTH CPE/ONTs, WIMAX CPE[4] and other carrier access equipment. Communication between the device and ACS[edit] Transport details[edit] CWMP is a text based protocol. Provisioning session[edit] All communications and operations are performed in the scope of the provisioning session. In the second stage, orders are transmitted from the device to the ACS. In the third stage the roles change on the CWMP level. Security and authentication[edit] Connection request[edit] CR over NAT[edit] The CWMP protocol also defines a mechanism for reaching the devices that are connected behind NAT (e.g. Data model[edit]

Fiction: The Secret Number, by Igor Teper 20 November 2000 Dr. Simon Tomlin studied the man sitting across the table from him. Rocking back and forth in his chair, with his shoulders slouching, his eyes darting all around the room, and his upper lip twitching every few seconds, the man conveyed a distinctly squirrel-like impression. It was hard to believe that, before his breakdown, this man had been one of the foremost number theorists in the world. "How are you today, Professor Ersheim?" "Fine, fine, thank you, just fine," replied the man without looking at him. "Have you been sleeping all right?" "Oh, yes, I've been sleeping quite well, sleeping like a baby," replied Ersheim, nodding vigorously in sync with his rocking. "That's good to hear." Ersheim suddenly stopped rocking and looked straight at Tomlin, eyes bulging. "Who are you talking about, Professor? "The numbers, Doctor, the numbers. "And what would that be, Professor?" "Bleem, that's what. "We have been over this, Professor -- there is no integer between three and four."

Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet: Why is it so loved? Kahlil Gibran is said to be one of the world's bestselling poets, and his life has inspired a play touring the UK and the Middle East. But many critics have been lukewarm about his merits. Why, then, has his seminal work, The Prophet, struck such a chord with generations of readers? Since it was published in 1923, The Prophet has never been out of print. The perennial classic has been translated into more than 50 languages and is a staple on international best-seller lists. Although practically ignored by the literary establishment in the West, lines from the book have inspired song lyrics, political speeches and have been read out at weddings and funerals all around the world. "It serves various occasions or big moments in one's life so it tends to be a book that is often gifted to a lover, or for a birth, or death. The Beatles, John F Kennedy and Indira Gandhi are among those who have been influenced by its words. "There is no doubt he deserves a place in the Western canon.
Horizon - Fermat's Last Theorem Fermat's last Theorem: There is no positive integers x, y, z, and n > 2 such that At the age of ten, browsing through his public library, Andrew Wiles stumbled across the world's greatest mathematical puzzle. Fermat's Last Theorem had baffled mathematicians for over 300 years. Deep in our classroom memories lies the enduring notion that "the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides": Pythagoras's Theorem for right-angled triangles. In 1637, a French mathematician, Pierre de Fermat said that this equation could not be true for or for any equation where n is greater than 2. Simon Singh and John Lynch's film tells the enthralling and emotional story of Andrew Wiles. Then disaster struck. A year later, at the point of defeat, he had a revelation. Perhaps I could best describe my experience of doing mathematics in terms of entering a dark mansion. This is the story of one man's obsession with the world's greatest mathematical problem.
