In www.numericana.com/fame/#brown, an interesting remark on these hundreds of pages: www.mathpages.com doesn't feature a single EXTERNAL link! As you said, a read-only website. And also a standalone website. Christian. -----Message d'origine----- De : math-fun-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:math-fun-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] De la part de Robert Munafo Envoyé : vendredi 18 février 2011 18:27 À : math-fun Objet : [math-fun] Kevin Brown? Kevin Brown is clearly smart enough to know how to put a CAPTCHA challenge on his website (like I do, see mrob.com/main-contact) but he fails to do so. Therefore he is deliberately isolating himself from the world, and we should probably just pretend he does not exist. (However, his creations are still subject to copyright protection and should be acknowledged in the standard way, using references, footnotes and fair use quotations.) Go rent the movie "Good Will Hunting", and if you still don't get it, try watching "A Beautiful Mind". Then be thankful you aren't afflicted with the same condition. Kevin Brown is probably living the least miserable life that is possible for him under the circumstances, and we should be thankful that his creations are available to us, albeit in read-only form. - Robert Munafo (who personally knows a little of such things himself) On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 10:49, Michael Kleber <michael.kleber@gmail.com> wrote:
That's only helpful if you believe "1729 S. Hardy Street" is a real address! I suppose it's possible that a true math fiend might spend years of his [life] waiting for Taxicab Number on Hardy Street to come on the market. But coming from a guy with phone number 555-1234, I have an alternative hypothesis :-)
