( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Just noticed this will be my 100th writeup, so I'll just make something up.

I've been here only for about three months, but XP has become the most important thing in my life, more than perl, programming, career, family, and life (the order is the result of perl sort using the Schwartzian Transform). I can't help to notice that as soon as a post of mine gets front-paged, I'll be awarded lots of XP. Of course some nodes get exactly the opposite effect (e.g., Perl::Improved Volume 0, Number 0, or may be this one, oh, please, please!) So the game is how to get to the front page. Incidentally this is what the search optimization engineers do for their clients in such battle grounds like google and yahoo. Given that google is a 30B company and it made its fortune by deciding who they want front-paged, I think it only fitting that the fortune of PM lies in allowing sponsored posts for people like me whose lives go up and down with their XP. The posts should indicate how much they paid for and how much XP they desire, the monks are required to contribute their XPs. So the Monastery Gates can become the gate to prosperity rather than monks' begging bowl.

On a more serious note, the XP is similar to Page Ranking used by the likes of google, shouldn't the results of search/super search be ordered according to XP?

Thus ends my 100th writeup. Thanks for putting up with all the junk in my first 99 posts.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
