Yes but it looks so terrible. Horrible LED colors, ice cold blue and green, and a awful tasteless font for the labels.

Why is this here? How is any of this related to what Slashdot is supposed to be about? I'm usually pretty lax about what's posted on Slashdot, but this question should be posted on a forum somewhere else, not on a news site for "nerds".
"Nerds" working in tech and science have the entire world as potential workplace and many change their host nation during their lives. Voluntary or because they have to. Highly specialized skilled workers often need to move to where the jobs are.
Thus, very relevant post. I myself am a Swedish citizen working in Germany.
Is the difference in the outcome for black and white women statistically significant?
No. The proper way of testing this is by using Fisher's exact test. Quite simple in one line of R:
fisher.test(matrix(c(36, 11, 38, 16), nrow=2))
Running this shows we obtain such a difference (77% vs. 70%) with about 50% probability just due to chance, given the sample size. The output of the R command above is:
data: matrix(c(36, 11, 38, 16), nrow = 2)
p-value = 0.5081
alternative hypothesis: true odds ratio is not equal to 1
95 percent confidence interval:
0.5175229 3.7540626
sample estimates:
odds ratio
1.373629
Not calling a method, but applying a Function.
A couple of things power users enjoy in OSX:
- Services
- The automator
- AppleScript
- Using these to design workflows involving different applications
If you are creative and willing to learn a bit, you are getting pretty damn enabled in OSX by these extremely well thought through tool sets.
And I actually even like the Finder. Miller Columns mode together with a persistent info window, and of course activated services linked to my custimized scripts, is working fantastic.
As someone who knows a little bit of mathematical modeling and statistics, I have to point out that they did not predict the percentages, since they already were known! The correct term would be retrodict.
I upgraded to 2.0.0 on my old PowerPC G4 iMac, which I like to use as a movie player "for the design". Warning for that! No sound, red stripes all over the frame... The upside is that it's really easy to downgrade, just move the old app bundle back from the trash can to the applications folder.
Fast, cheap, good: pick two.
