Ummm... I think you can make that argument for ANY chart type. I can't differentiate between 25% and 24% in a bar graph either. In fact, IMO, bar charts (normally) have the far worse problem of being relative to the largest value. In a perc

A nice toy.... Shows that node.js and javascript is actually a nice coding environment for server software. However, I am not confident of its stability or performance yet. A Redius client library for node.js would be interesting.
