I have a question in my exam that I don't know how to answer it:
Consider that you have a machine for personal use and you are developing various programs. Before going to lunch you want to leave five large programs to compile. In this scenario justifies what / which of the following scheduling algorithms would select: First Come First Served, Shortest Job First, Round Robin or Priority scheduling.
I'd honestly chose Shortest Job First for the simple reason that when I come back from lunch I want to have as many programs available to debug and test as possible.

Can any algorithm that performs automatic learning be called a "machine learning algorithm"? Or is this designation is reserved to the known ML algorithms like SVM, Feature Selection... ?
Any algorithm that learns to do a task by itself and gets better at it is considered machine learning even if it just as simple as computing the joint probability. Only condition is automated learning, that's all.

This is a trivial question - but something I always miss in the day-to-day programming.
Is there a gook lookup reference available for the common algorithms that we usually face in our everyday programming - sorting,sequences,graphs.
The emphasis is more on the applicability and pseudocode ,rather than the mathematical proofs(which I find is what books tend to stress on).
The idea is to keep a ready reference,as and when we need to resort to one of these algorithms into our respective development project and languages.

I was just wondering- is there an automated way that the "report abuse" (for profane or inappropriate posts) feature works for a large website like, say, Amazon? Is it just a simple game of numbers (e.g. 100 ppl report the link so it should be taken down) or something more sophisticated?
It is a link on a website that the website-owner implemented? I don't think there is a some sort of top-down regulated method of implementing this, everyone does it's own thing. Some will be 'just simple numbers', some will be more sophisticated.
SO does both I guess: the more flags, the more a problem (spam for instance) gets attention of people who can lock, and flags of some users way heavier then others...

In your experience, what phase of software development takes the most time? That is besides maintenance, of course. And which phase takes the second most time? Which methodology do you use?
The final 20% always takes the longest - roughly 80% of the total time of the project.
I don't think there is any methodology that will change this. As a project begins to take its final form and is demoed its always easier for clients to think of new ideas and improvements. I think the best way to handle it is to keep open communication with the client, be open to change suggestions, but make sure they are aware that their changes will increase the development cost.

I am writing a server for playing the great diplomacy game online. Does anyone know an algorithm for the judge, that will calculate all moves/supports/convoys on the map at the end at each round?
For implementing the protocol I use twisted, for db-access django
Yes. DPjudge Adjudication Algorithm. Also see the DPJudge FAQ answer to the question about convoy paradoxes.
A check the njudge page that links to source code.
You might also want to look into the DAIDE project. They have a full comm protocol for create dip bot players against special servers. It's not open source (unfortunately) but there is a small community who use it to play real-time Dip games when 7 humans aren't available to play.
