good point! I have found more fun new vlogs randomly through Ro's (aka firehttp) videoblogging-universe ring video thumb clips than from any directory search of course, his ring is based on a directory - but the way they are presented to me is in fact randomly Interesting aside: you can mathematically justify that the best way to optimize many sorting operations is to *first* randomly shuffle the data. This is because "real world" data is often "skewed" or "clumped" in ways that increase the need for comparisons. Maybe this applies to wetware too. markus -- My name is Markus Sandy and I am app.etitio.us http://apperceptions.org http://digitaldojo.blogspot.com http://spinflow.org http://wearethemedia.com http://www.corante.com/events/feedfest/ aim/ichat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype: msandy spin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ Yahoo!
