Great research.
But this seems to me like overkill. A mosquito net works and is proven and costs very very little.
And hey, there actually already are charitable initiatives for this. http://www.nothingbutnets.net/
1M from the Gates Foundation could probably buy enough mosquito nets to cover the whole of Africa.
Not to split hairs, but that's a genuine off-by-0.01 error right there.
Yeah, it isn't completely random random, because of all the filtering done to ensure the randomly-generated words are part of the original text.

I started with Pascal, so the most influential book for me is Walter Savitch's "Turbo Pascal: An Introduction to the Art and Science of Programming."
It's the best book on learning to program that i've ever read and it's still the yardstick by which i compare other entry-level programming books. It's very clear, detailed, informative, and sensible. The fun quotes in every section are an added bonus.
Dear CmdrTaco,
Thank you for slashdot. It is the first site i open when i go online.
And to all the smart nerds who have made me laugh or experienced enlightenment, thank you for making slashdot what it is.

I find their search results annoying a lot of times. For example the engine would insist on a spelling that is different but apparently more well-known than what i typed. I remember in the past it used to search for the actual term and then suggest its alternate spelling. Another example would be when searching for phrases with spaces. Even if i quote the entire phrase the engine would return results with only some of the words in the phrase. Very frustrating.
Yo dawg i herd you like searching so i put a google in your google so you can search while you search.

I suspect you automatically become signed up to google+ the moment somebody sends you an invitation.
Way offtopic, but hello Cliff! I love your book and re-read it every 2-3 years! You are fucking awesome!
