You would have a fnid that is in the cookie hash table, yet you still would not know to which username it is mapped to, correct?
I like your plan for dealing with academia.
In any case by fast polynomial solution I meant one with a low degree. Let's assume this algorithm is as fast as existing approximate ones.
we would of course need to send some form of authority, like a warden, just to keep the convicts (loonies!) under control.
it would also be necessary to set them up with an advanced computer system to handle all colony operations, from telephone switching to ballistics calculations for the throws.
all and all, i don't see how this could go wrong.
There is a short mention of previous work done with academic citation analysis and there is also a bit at the end about the original purpose of the algorithm (displaying ranked backlinks.)
I don't know where you're getting this from. AFAIK there has been one lethality case in the US. Also the majority of the Mexican population is of mixed race rather than purely native American.
>The one thing that they are stumped about is that the foreigners (mostly "white" - of European descent) that have contracted the disease seem to have an easier time dealing with it. It makes you wonder if there has been an outbreak in Europe's past that has protected the decedents of the survivors.
It could also simply be that foreigners (white and of European descent) have better living conditions and healtcare systems than 80% of the population of mexico city.

I agree that 99% of humanity does not need to be on twitter, just like 99% of humanity does not need to have a blog, but there is something more to it than consensual spamming or following celebs.
but back to your original claim, you may not like his writing but you have to acknowledge that other people do. not only does he write, but he does so about important and relevant topics, and from a point of view too often ignored by a large part of society. in the very least, to write him off as a paris hilton is dishonest if not asinine.
Side note: Good News, I think this Allison person is less famous that you think. I'd never heard of her at least.
that line doesn't seem to follow logically from it's previous one. seems almost like you went out of your way to diss these people on the internet. in any case, i have to say that i've enjoyed what few i've read from doctorow.
man -t UNIX_COMMAND | open -f -a previewThat would be an interesting experiment. However, I think it does provide a certain use, which is getting a sense of how people are perceiving the discussion. Like the audience clapping or booing during a debate.
