heisenberg: uncertainty in energy times uncertainty in time has a lower bound. what is the energy of the phonons? given the small time that heisenberg allows the virtual phonon pairs to exist, how far can the phonons travel? without actually working out the numbers, my seat of the pants guess is that the number of virtual phonon pairs for which one member crosses the acoustic event horizon will be vanishingly small.
arguments: the 6 is the size of the board, 0 means to print the first found rather than all, and the 1 means to look for a closed path rather than an open path.
the last session at crypto was all about quantum cryptography. an important assumption used is bounded-quantum-storage model. TFA seems to indicate that this is still rather theoretical, so it's unclear whether this would actually help to invalidate the assumptions of the bounded-quantum-storage model.
i don't think the images are all that blocky, though limiting the number of polygons make smoothly curving surfaces difficult/not as nice. http://www.bennetyee.org/bathroom/ contains a sketchup model that i made to help communicate what we want with contractors. of the complex shapes that i had to make, the lighting fixture took the most time and the sink is the least realistic. i didn't include additional surface images and only used the ones provided (with some stretching for the glass tiles), but i think it turned out pretty well.
a one guy algorithm, assuming orientation doesn't matter much since no magnetic compass etc was involved:

(1) compute lengths of diagonal AC.
(2) cut strings of appropiate lengths for diagonal and four sides AB, BC, CD, AD.
(3) put stake in ground for one corner, say point A.
(4) tie one end each of a diagonal string AC, aB, and AD to the stake, walk in intended diagonal direction until string AC is taut, and drive in stake for opposite corner C. you will have dropped the strings AB and AD on the ground to reach C.
(5) tie AC to stake C, and strings CD and BC to stake C. AC is our baseline.
(6) walk back along AC with strings CD and BC until you find the other ends of AB and AD.
(7) taking BC and AB, walk towards where B should be until both AB and BC are taut. tie strings to a new stake, and drive into ground at B.
(8) repeat operation for D.
since there is only one person, the free ends of strings left on the ground may have to be tied to a rock or heavy washers -- or the stakes for B and D -- to prevent them fromo blowing away while left unattended.
That'd be the wrong investment. I'm sure google pigeons can use their 20% time to breed for themselves or do other projects. Now, the *right* investment would be in pigeon poop processing (PPP). PPP services will provide a steady flow of work, and should also result in a High Phosphorus (HP) product. A side effect of the influx of low-cost HP products should also depress the market for Ichthysian Bowel Movement-type machines....
I have solved problems in my sleep. One of the most memorable was about 23 years ago, going to sleep after reading about conjugate subgroups and commutators and waking up knowing how to solve a Rubik's cube from first principles.
Most of the other times when I've had good ideas, I'd been in the shower. Perhaps solutions found in sleep were still bubbling up?

the usps does not receive funds from congress, so they have "subsidies" only from the philatelists.
yes. general consensus is needed for something like the sullivan principles to work.
