By solve should have said "efficiently solve". They haven't even tried to show that this approach scales up to larger boards, or that they can efficiently solve an NP-complete problem. Solving one 9x9 sudoku (like we all do when we play it) doesn't mean that we can efficiently solve NP-complete problems.

On a large percentage of the message boards that I go to, we always have fun messing about with the Google ads. You know, typing in a bunch of words that relate to one topic (IE: Satan, Witchcraft, Evil, Pagan, etc.) and watching what the Google ads pull up. I don't think it will be as fun is there's a Flash presentation of "demonic acts". Or what if the subject changed to castration for some reason? I can see it now: "LOW COST CASTRATION, ONLY $199 TOTALLY LEGAL" Except now it will have a video to back it up. 0_0
