But wait! What if he was _right_??

Excellent! A prime specimen! Do you think he is writing from inside some institution, or he is allowed out in the wild? He is not dangerous, is he?

That's the P = NP. And he didn't end up solving Traveling Salesman, he solved metric Traveling Salesman. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.

And Google is probably read in over 150 countries every day. I suspect they have at least tier-2 internet access, and they probably provide at least some of the world's fiber backbone. Google is definitely not lacking for internet access. > At times people interested in my activities may stress the global > grid. If the web can withstand Youtube traffic, it can withstand any traffic that comes from downloading your stuff. Video traffic is much more bandwidth intensive than any text. I would be surprised if the traffic caused by people interested in your activities surpassed the amount of email traffic in a typical large corporation. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.

FWIW, scientists have found an area in the upper front temporal lobe that responds to the image of a hand. Wave hello to someone, and that area is triggered. Close by in the left frontal lobe is the motor speech area. I suspect there's a motor area in the right hemisphere that makes you want to hammer your detractors into silence. It seems a lot of JSH posts involve a jumping back and forth from sound frontal lobes to feebler temporal lobes. Not that that's only JSH's problem. One of the most delicate parts of the brain is the hippocampus in the temporal lobes. If a baby suffers learning disabilities due to oxygen deprivation during childbirth, it's mainly due to the death of cells in the hippocampus. This human weakness may play a role in forming our modern world with more information than content. |
