Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Personally I am more likely to write code for hobby and self interest than anything else. Unfortunately to keep my hobby going I am forced into writing code for someone else, usually working on some bloated framework, POS software program, etc.
I'm familiar turing but have never heard of the halting problem...
So the humor is found in the fact that people advertised they could solve a problem which in theoretically impossible?
Thats sad...it's like the counter offers you see on places like Guru, etc...people so desperate they'll work for peanuts.
Perhaps even more sad, is the fact I am considering outsourcing my work to people willing to work for peanuts...more money + less work = happy PCSpectra

Peanuts for you, but gold for people in other countries
My usual charge is from 25 to 40 dollars per hour - I'm not sure how do you consider this (e.g. peanuts)

My hourly rate is $25 USD/hour as well...which I do not consider peanuts...obviously...but hourly rate is nothing really...it's what you NET at the end of a project that matters. Over estimate and get away with it and your laughing, under estimate and your kicking the whole way.
I could say I charge $500/hour but if I quote a project takes 40 hours and I work 160 then I make 25% of that 25/hour.
I'm almost precise at calculating project hours. A 10 to 20% over estimate is a must because you should cover unpredictable, but minor, user requirements, not covered in the initial ones.
But in this particular case - the halting problem... I don't think I'll be so precise
