I'm very disappointed. I had a beautiful solution to a problem which
involved determining if all the elements in one array exist in a second
using histogram, but apparently I can't do that with string arrays. Oh
well, I think I've seen something else in the built in library that'll
do it just as fast and easily.

Ok. Done.

Well, for a long time. BSORT was written in 1990 to solve that
problem, I think.

Cheers,

I wonder, does google get my IP, and place specific adds
based on their history of my google searches, is that how that
stuff works?
I would think I would get more Angelina Jolie ads, but infrared
imaging also seems a bit targetted.

Cheers,

PS It is probably those major league baseball satellites
that are constantly spying on me.

I was very firm with Google when I signed up. "This crowd
is already oversexed," I told them, "we don't need any more
Viagra ads!!!"

Cheers,

David

P.S. When I load my own pages locally I am continuously
served up ads for rabbit calls, ammo, and camouflage clothing.
I wouldn't have thought killing coyotes, which is pretty much
what we did in Arizona in the 1950's for fun, was still such a
popular sport. Some people never grow up, I guess. :-(
