logarithmic G scale

The logarithmic G scale is used to measure the overall influence, and the ability to influence, of an individual in society. The influence is measured as an absolute value of influence, that is, it doesn't differentiate between positive or negative influence.

The 1G base is used to describe any accomplished individual such as a doctor, lawyer, police captain, army major, university professor, capo.
Steve jobs is a 3.7 G in the logarithmic G scale.
George W Bush is a 4.0 G.
Bill Clinton 3.3 G. (+ .3 for Monica Lewinsky incident)
Larry Page 2.7 G
David Suzuki 1.8 G
Al Gore 1.9 G
Rupert Murdoch 5.0 G

logarithm

(MATHEMATICS) a function of numbers that are the root of a base. For example, log(base 2) means a function of numbers that are the numbered roots of 2. The log(base 2) of 2 is 1, meaning 2 raised to the power of 1 is 2 (2^1 = 2); log(2) of 4 is 2, and so on.

The idea here is that any number can be expressed as 2 raised to some power; better still, if you do math with the logs of a number rather than the numbers themselves, you can find useful patterns. For example, if you are graphing population growth, and you just plot the raw number of people over time, you aren't going to notice anything in particular. If you plot the log of population, you can see that, while population is growing, the rate of growth is falling.

Usually, if you are doing statistical research with numbers that always have to be positive (like population, death tolls from diseases, etc.), you need to use logarithms for the numerical values in order to represent a confidence interval.

Logs usually have a base of e or 10. Logs with a base of e are called natural logs.

logarithm

mathmatical process by which a shit/corn ratio is aquired. it is devised from taking the amount of corn in your shit and dividing it by the total mass of your log, including water content and multiplying by 100. is expressed in units called nibblets. my corn ratio is 22 niblets some days.

a "Todd-ism" - Todd says "a logarithm" (log-ar-ithm, something that a rocket scientist uses) when he means "algorithm" (Al-Gore-ithm, something that a computer scientist uses and Al Gore abuses)
