   Doesn't this only work if the elements are unique? say you wanted the top three from [1,2,3,2,3,3,4,3,3,3,3,4,3], then the kth largest element would be 3, and we'd end up outputting [3,3,3,4,3,3,3,3,4,3], which is obviously not k elements.

   What I'm hearing is "It helps make things more stable, yes, but doesn't solve everything, so why bother?". The advantages Minix has to offer doesn't solve every problem, least of all the wetware problem that there will always be bugs. But i

    A few years ago, these James Bond magazines for kids came out, and i bought a bunch of them. I seem to remember them using this idea in the magazine to hide "secret" messages, which you could only decrypt if you had the transparent key that
