FBI Examines Second Life Casinos 104

UnanimousCoward writes "Yahoo! is running an article reporting that Second Life has invited the FBI to tour their casinos. Under the theory that they may have some objections, Linden wanted to make sure that everything was on the up and up. The FBI has apparently taken them up on the offer, but will not comment on their conclusion. With the recent US crackdown on Internet gambling, visits to Second Life casinos have increased (using Linden dollars that can be exchanged for real currency). 'Most lawyers agree that placing bets with Linden dollars likely violates US anti-gambling statutes, which cover circumstances in which something of value is wagered. But the degree of Linden Lab's responsibility, and the likelihood of a any crackdown, is uncertain.'"

YAJoe writes: Hi, I'm a CS student at a local university, and I have a major assignment due later today. This one is a doozy, and so far I'm stuck. With the time slipping away, I got the amazing idea of asking slashdot for help. After all, don't you want to keep people like me from failing out of the field? What if I said I was a girl? Here's my problem: Find the second-smallest number from an unsorted array in O(n) time. Then find a clique in a given graph G with that number in O(n^2) time. He says this assignment should take me 1 hour, but so far I've spent 4:01 hours on it. Help!
