Enable a bluetooth headset on a Thinkpad X200 with Windows 7

January 24th, 2011

It’s easy to let the laptop discover your headset, but you may not be able to use it as a hands free device. That’s probably because you didn’t download and install the “Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II for Windows 7″. Download it from here.

“Battle of sexes” could easily be turned into a game like “Split or Steal”

July 6th, 2010

“Split or Steal” is a UK game show. For those who didn’t know it, you can watch the following video. Two people reach the last stage of a game after beating all other competitors, and now facing a large amount of money. But they have to make a deal about how to distribute the prize. First, they do some “cheap talk” (link), trying to convince the other party that they are going to choose the “split” option, and they make their choices respectively and in private. The final moment is about revealing their real actual option. If both players choose “split”, they both get half of the prize. If A chooses “split”, but B chooses “steal”, B takes away all the money, and A gets nothing. If they both choose “steal”, they both get nothing.

Overwrite and Duplicate Write to a block

March 25th, 2010

All writes that go to the same block ID are considered overwrite (write over the same place).

However, duplicate writes are writes that have the same content, they may go to the same block, or they may not.

So, we cannot conclude the number of overwrites is greater than the number of duplicate writes, or the other way around. Generally, it’s much harder to identify duplicate writes than overwrites, because detecting content duplication requires manipulating a much larger amount of data.
