may be that it is not completely random, but unpredictable as well, due
to "customizing algorithms" tailored on the users?
(see the stressed phrase at the bottom of the following slashdot news
i've recently read)
(http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/05/16/0044236/The-Rise-of-Filter-Bubbles)
"Eli Pariser gave a talk at TED which posits that tailoring algorithms
are creating 'filter bubbles' around each user, restricting the
information that reaches you to be - unsurprisingly - only what you want
to see. While you might be happy that your preferred liberal or
conservative news hits you, you'll never get to see the converse. This
is because Google, Facebook, newspaper sites and even Netflix filter
what hits you before you get to see it. And since they give you what you
want, you never see the opposing viewpoints or step outside your comfort
zone. It amounts to a claim of censorship through personalization, and
now that every site does it, it's becoming a problem. Pariser calls for
all sites implementing these algorithms to embed in the algorithms 'some
sense of public life' and also have transparency
>>> so you can understand why your Google search might look different
than someone with opposing tastes."<<<
Anyway, glad to see interest in Blender documentation, i'm always
interested :)
my 2c,
