The corrected charts and the author at that link say that it's inconclusive. Which is pretty safe to say. Perot charts are interesting, more detailed and transparent. They cover areas you are worried about specifically the breakdown of diff

I was also trying to figure out how to roll my own replay on Etherpad. I look forward to seeing it live for all users. This will be a great tool for the classroom. Whether it's tracking collaboration on papers or "showing work".

Reverse net neutrality. Instead of the restriction coming from the ISPs it's coming from the content provider. I don't see how going back to mid 1990s style AOL ideology will ever work. To see if your ISP is already involved in this go to

It will be interesting to see how this changes voting behavior. I know I am already voting up above average gray comments over above average orange comments. It wasn't purposeful. But easily apparent when I looked back at my voting behavior

They just need a GTA version. Replace the Taxi theme with Drug Running or Bank robbery escape... etc. Heck every town has a bank in it and a spot behind the gocery store...

Between their demo and the youtube video in the wired article, Kiva couldn't ask for better PR. It really is an interesting system. No RF technology used as far as I could tell. Simple solutions combine to make an efficient reliable scalabl

Just read what I wrote. I think ideally that is what conservatives want to stand for, though in practice it may be quite different.

This is quite the intriguing science mystery. I really enjoyed it. And it ended with a possibility of some pragmatic benefits too: Oklo also demonstrates a way to store some forms of nuclear waste that were once thought to be almost imposs

I'm a libertarian. I'm with you. I'm just saying it's what most conservatives believe in.

I think this Rush Limbaugh quote does a good job summarizing modern day conservatism: We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school

Wow, this sounds soo familiar. I remember having similar thoughts when I was in high school. I'll try to give some useful advice. I have no social group of my own and go back and forth between their friend circles. I'd ignore social group

Try most state schools. For example someone with an A+ at University of Illinois is going to be 1 in a few hundred. They were the very top in that class, and most of the classes are large. Even people with A's are likely to be top 10-15%. A
