You've got it all wrong. on step 2. Solving for N gives:
P!=NP -> N=P!/P -> N = (P-1)!
See? Simple. Now if I only know how to profit from this....

Lightspark is an open source Adobe Flash imple men ta tion, designed from the ground up to be effi cient on cur rent and (hope fully) future hardware.
In response to a question in a recent Apple shareholder’s meeting, Jobs said that a HyperCard-like product for the iPad would be a good idea “though someone would have to build it”.
....
In order to support our active and growing revMobile customer base, we submitted an in-depth proposal to Apple that we create an iPhone-only product that uses native Cocoa objects, supports 100% of their API, works perfectly with multitasking and battery life, but uses a variant of the revTalk language to use these objects and APIs, and then translates those into native code. While a significant engineering departure for us from the current revMobile path, this solution would have resulted in perfect-quality iPhone-only applications....
Steve Jobs has now rejected our proposal and made it clear that he has no interest in having revMobile available on the iPhone or iPad in any form.
Update: After following up the response I received from Apple with:
"Thanks for your reply. I'm sure you understand that what you have said is not legal. You cannot vary the terms of a contract and just keep my money — the law is very clear on this.
I have now placed the transaction into dispute with my card issuer, and they will issue the charge-back to you shortly.
All the best with your toxic practices in the future."
I have now received this in reply:
"Hello Jodie
We are pleased make an exception to our no refund/no exchanges terms of purchase and have processed a refund for your iPhone Developer Program order.
Although we have processed your refund immediately, we request that you please allow 7-10 business days to post the transaction to your cardholder account.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know.
Regards,
iPhone Developer Program"
I think I read somewhere that Apple decided that they won't fire him, instead as a punishment he would be relocated to Apple's office in Vietnam.
I was right - see http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/fourth-generation-iphone-teardown-reveals-a4-microprocessor/
It is the A4 processor.
heh... sorry, i guess it's a case of "seeing what I was expecting to see". On second thought, I'm not so sure... while it looks similar with this "prototype" version of A4, it's also similar enough to the current iPhone processors, that one can't really be sure.
Fair enough.
On the other hand.... do you think that Scroogle really gets more than 1000 searches per day?
By your own argument - would you characterize Flash as "open"? AFAIK the Flash compiler + the FLEX SDK is open-source.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
