AWStats ( http://awstats.sourceforge.net/ ) is decent if you just want some simple log-based analytics. Don't know what you mean by limited, but logfile-based analytics software doesn't have access to as much data as software that can use o

Doesn't strip script tags or anything; lots of nasty stuff you could do with this. Somebody should notify them. https://www.maybank2u.com.my/mbb/m2u/jsp/common/mbbReceipt.j...

Isn't Poisson rate-based, ie events over a fixed time period? I'm having trouble seeing where you got the rate from (children per lifetime? but that's hardly a "fixed time period") - all we have is a single number "children/household" with

The "average number of own children under 18 per family" for "familes with own children under 18" was 1.86 in 2009 (and has been within 0.1 of that since 1978), which means about 1/1.86=~54% of all children are first-borns... I don't think

The entire source of news.arc is open - eg http://github.com/nex3/arc/blob/master/news.arc Lines 1095-1098 control whether the downvote arrow is displayed or not. So, to answer your question, yes, it bothers me that there's very rarely a

Mathematically you could express the concept of a (partially ordered) set by something like <S,P(x1,x2)> (where P is some comparison function), so, for example, the sorted natural numbers would be <N,<>. I have no idea,

Actually, if you read the article, they mention using two probes made of the same metal to eliminate any current generated by the differences in redox potential between them.

Then again, silicon is an atomic crystal, while hair's structure is defined on the cellular level, which makes doping silicon much more practical than doping hair. This is on top of the problem that solids without an atomic lattice of some

That said, I don't think this is really a justified criticism we have here, pending further details.

'Dummy' means 'pacifier' in some places, so 'spitting the dummy' literally refers to the temper tantrum of a baby. Hence, to 'dummy spit' is to throw a massive, immature temper tantrum.

That's incredibly cool. I wonder, though, if these things produce a strong enough magnetic field to interfere with radios, cellphones, wireless internet, etc.
