Slashdot Mirror
Describing The Web With Physics
Fungii writes: "There is a fascinating article over on physicsweb.com about 'The physics of the Web.' It gets a little technical, but it is a really interesting subject, and is well worth a read." And if you missed it a few months ago, the IBM study describing "the bow tie theory" (and a surprisingly disconnected Web) makes a good companion piece. One odd note is the reseachers' claim that the Web contains "nearly a billion documents," when one search engine alone claims to index more than a third beyond that, but I guess new and duplicate documents will always make such figures suspect.
i think i speak for most everyone here when i tell you to take this fucking so called "news" and RAM IT UP YOUR ASS SIDEWAYS. post some real news for once you motherfuckers and maybe we wouldn't fucking bitch so much about it. and timothy... i hope you fucking choke on michael's cock... you gay fucking faggot!!!!!!!!!
It seems like a sound theory to me...
Now I want to see an equally technical paper on the slashdot effect.
Slashdot gets worse every day... Pipedot: News for nerds, without the corporate slant
The Physics Boys seem to misunderstand the fundamentals of computer science. They write about hyperlinks as though they were physical network connections. It is possible that they chose to study hyperlink structure after discovering that studying they actual structure of the Internet is impossible. Even so, the resulting report is misleading. They make observations of the Internet's Achilles Heal and Virus Thresholds and so forth and use hyperlink data they gathered using thier own Web Crawler to support their claims.
That's Bad Science and I don't have to take it.

Fuck Off
sorry.
Fucking Winders NT. I was going to summarily execute the machine it was running on (you guessed it - it crashed), drag it out into the car park and break into and hotwire my old best friend's dilapidated dumped de-registered car and start taking potshots, screaming howling berating and throwing Jack Daniels bottles at it whilst I reversed backward and forward over it, but then I calmed significantly and remembered that all is goo in the land of Microsloth.
That makes goatse.cx a little too close for comfort. Keep those homepages with pictures of your cat coming people.
