You should try look for a clarification before writing an angry comment and down voting though :P I was so sad for a second hehe But I understand the misunderstanding. I'll improve my question.

Mar 20, 2014 at 19:36	comment	added	Charlie Parker		@user603 in the case of no offset, for support vectors we have $y^{(i)} \theta \cdot x^{(i)} = 1$ (I said no slack and then later asked whats going on with slack). If $\theta = \sum^n_{i=1} \alpha_i y^{i} x^{(i)}$ then the constrain becomes: $y^{(i)} \sum^n_{i=1} \alpha_i y^{i} x^{(i)} \cdot x^{(i)} = 1$. Which is what I wrote. For support vectors we can change the inequality to an equality because its a support vector. There is nothing wrong about what I wrote.
