What kind of machine are people running recently more iTest update

An instant message + email checking + social network status checking program Digsby was running on my computer and generated an shocking statistic.

Congratulations Digsby, you are the first program I know of that's not math/science/studio/benchmark related software to surpass the CPU/Memory usage of Firefox 3.0.1 running Gmail, Google reader and Google calendar.
How is your code constructed?

 main() {
        while(get_system_load()<1){
               generate_garbage();
               //code start
        }
 }

Non of my computers at home can handle it, so the developer must be running a 64 core 1024 bit 3.6 THz CPU with 32TB 1033GHz DDReπ RAM.

iTest video contest has ended.
People's solutions are amazingly similar. Maybe because these are the standard way to answer?
For problem 21, I didn't even remember there was a British flag theorem and end up proving it myself. Those iTest people are really educated.
This fast talking guy is the only person posted an answer for problem #82.
Certainly. Use the number of possible edges minus edges contained in largest possible triangle-free graph. But proving the size of the largest triangle-free graphs is not easy to be done in 60 seconds.

Second math contest of this school year complete.


Memory Leak

There must be a huge memory leak/loop in this program that needs to be fixed. Wonder what language it was written in?
