In reply to: In reply to: choose a random set of y photos from the above selection Most likely be the culprit for why we see the same photos over and over again? Is it a linear set? If so, doesn't that more heavily weight and create a greater % chance of seeing "middle" ranked photos inside of the overall total of "qualified" photos?
Actually, it's supposed to compress the selection towards the higher-ranked photos. I should probably run it a few thousand times (just the raw numbers) and see what shape the distribution really takes. In fact, between that and a bunch of trial runs of the eigensystem method, I think you just handed me a generic test harness for these sorts of things.
Thanks! I will have an answer for you as soon as I run the simulations.

In reply to: The problem is, how low do we drop criteria before we start seeing butt shots on the front page?
What is wrong with butt shots? Some of these climbers have really nice photographic butts. Ask the chicks in the chick climbers forum, I don't think they mind. Maybe we need a catagory inbetween artistic and ice, just for this kind of artistic rendering called "butts" or between mountaineering and sport called "my butt"
Hey, could this get me kicked off the forums? I am just tryin to be a comic. I know: "don't leave my day job" I can tell it's not working when all my lines are followed by deafening silence. Ughh, I need to get a life.
