  12. Directly from the Creators mouth to your brain on Google Blocks 'Optimized' Pages · · Score: 1

    Academic citation literature has been applied to the web, largely by counting citations or backlinks to a given page. This gives some approximation of a page's importance or quality. PageRank extends this idea by not counting links from all pages equally, and by normalizing by the number of links on a page. PageRank is defined as follows:

    We assume page A has pages T1...Tn which point to it (i.e., are citations). The parameter d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1. We usually set d to 0.85. There are more details about d in the next section. Also C(A) is defined as the number of links going out of page A. The PageRank of a page A is given as follows:

    PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

    Note that the PageRanks form a probability distribution over web pages, so the sum of all web pages' PageRanks will be one.

  21. Humm, No money from me. on SpaceDev Auctioning Microsatellite Mission On Ebay · · Score: 1

    On August 6, 1998 the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filed an administrative proceeding alleging securities fraud against a San Diego, California company named Spacedev Inc. According to the SEC, Spacedev is a microcap company that promotes itself extensively on the Internet. The company claims that it intends to launch an unmanned spacecraft to a near earth asteroid in approximately 2000. The SEC alleges that the company made false and misleading statements over the Internet and via other media in violation of U.S. securities laws. The SEC is seeking cease and desist orders against Spacedev and its chairman, James W. Benson.

    Well that just sounds like a right fine company they got there.
