Comment Re:Who promised? (Score 1) 108

Hi. I'm one of the authors.

Wow, clearly you are not bothered about linking your real and Slashdot personas.

I'm certain most /.ers guard their /. persona, given the blunt nature of the comments found here.

OT, has there been any research into looking up a person's sex/ethnicity by analysing his or her /. comments? It is already known that the species problem is hard.

Anyone with half a brain can figure out exactly who I am, where I live, and what I do for a living, starting from this post, in about 20 seconds. Medical conditions and sexual preference might take a little more work, but I'm sure some of it is out there.

With a handle like yours, they just need to look at the results of your test!

naval lint

No, the study is on navel lint, the lint that accumulates in the navel. Naval lint would be the lint that accumulates on warships, or on members of the Navy. For instance, if you take the wetsuit of a SEAL and put it in the drier, and then clean out the lint trap, the result will be naval lint. Now, if you clean out the belly button of an Admiral, the result is naval navel lint. Or perhaps navel naval lint.

Say, that sounds novel!

Comment Re:One way to get more registered voters (Score 1) 1088

To do the math yourself, go to www.census.gov and get state populations (don't forget DC). Then put those in an Excel spreadsheet next to the electoral votes for each state. Divide pop by votes, then sort those numbers. Also calculate the total population by 535, then divide the representation for each state by that number. You'll see who comes out ahead and behind.

Or you could just look at Wikipedia.
