Next is Elliot. They're also open but

with no indexes on Apache. I can run an

empty search and it returns all of the

images in the database in a single page.

Then I can save the page and Mozilla will

save all the images for me. Excellent.

Moving right along.

Flying by at super-speed on MARR's computer screen have been

commands and images that the rest of us can't possibly

understand.

TRYIN' TO KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM

WHEN THE HOLE IN YOUR SHOE LETS THE SNOW

CONE THROUGH AND CHILLS YOU TO THE BONE

NOW YOU BETTER GO HOME WHERE IT'S WARM

Oh yeah.

No, I need the algorithm you used for the

oil futures.

EDUARDO:

Are you okay?

EDUARDO' is writing an equation with a grease marker on the

window. When the equation's done it looks like this:

GIRL A:

1

EA =

1 + 10( b - Ra) / 400

GIRL B:

1

BB:

1 + 10(RA _ RB) / 400

EDUARDO:

Give each.girl a.-base rating of 1400. At

any time `Girl All has a rating R-a and

"Girl B" has a rating R-b.

MARK S:

When any two girls are matched up there'

an expectation of which will win based on

their current rating.

EDUARDO:

(tapping the window)

Those expectations are expressed this

way.
