I just read the Wikipedia article about zero-knowledge proof/protocol at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof. I understood the story of Peggy and Victor but I have a question. Could not Peggy just enter the cave from Path A and exit the cave at Path B, the whole process being watched by Victor, who is standing at the bifurcation of Path A and B? I did not see any problem of this plan of violating the rule of completeness, soundness, and zero-knowledge. In addition, it is definitive: Peggy can just prove he knows the magic word with one try. So what is wrong with that plan?

I am aware that stackoverflow is a programming oriented forum that helps coders to solve bugs . But i have plenty of conceptual doubts in text mining techniques / information retrieval and semantic similarity .
Please suggest a forum where they discuss these concepts so that i can putforth my doubts in that!
Maybe https://stats.stackexchange.com/
And before https://stats.stackexchange.com/ there was http://metaoptimize.com/qa/, which is still fairly active.

Does an API exist for ordering flowers? I’m thinking of something like FTD or 1800flowers?
I could always make a mechanize script to walk through the site, but I'm a little scared of how brittle a solution that would be.
Just doing a quick google search I found:
https://www.floristone.com/api/
Looks to be exactly what you're looking for as far as I know. Good luck!

probably this question have been asked a million times i use c++ but i want to go into game programming,which good game engine uses c++ for scripting thank you
First of all, C++ is not a "scripting" language...
But to answer your question, I personally have used Haafs Game Engine for rich 2D games.

I'm studying at a university, and it's really important to be able to support arguments with facts. Are there any studies about SEO? I've read that people don't bother to go to the next page on google, they do a new search instead. But are there really any studies in the subject?
But are there really any studies in the subject?
For example, the pie chart on this page says that 40% of clicks are on the top (number 1) search result, that 90% are on the first page, and that 0.01% are on neither pages 1 and 2.

inspired by this question since i do not find any good sql casts out there and i fail to find any good ones to this day online.
I don't listen to it (or any SQL podcasts for that matter), but I know of Greg Low's SQL Down Under and I believe it has a pretty good reputation.
Excellent question, I am always on the look out for good contet.
There are some good podcasts by the likes of Brent Ozar and chums over at SQL Server Pedia.
