"This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls."

I agree - I have a 64MB drive (that was big when I got it), somewhere, but now that have a server I can retrieve stuff from (and I no longer need portableapps with any regularity), I don't feel a need for a drive. I also tend to carry my camera with me, which I can use as a USB drive in a pinch if there's an appropriate cable handy.

I think you're missing requirement (1):

Having been both a student and a TA in this program, I can say with confidence: (a) svn is available for students / courses to use (although there's some overhead to getting it set up), and (b) although there is some command-line education component to the course, these students (depending on which course this is) have plenty to think about with interpreting tracebacks and remembering whether arrays start at 0 or 1. (That dead simple.) They don't need to think about svn quite yet.

Also, like the OP said, he's looking for concurrent collaboration. As other people have suggested, SEE is the right idea, though cross-platform is a must and web-based is probably better. Mercurial or svn or git are solving a different problem.

Actually, I'd becurious to know whether lots of people clicking produced interference, or instead produced better coverage of the environment; I suspect the latter, so long as the different people are not producing identical clicks at exactly the same time.

Interesting! Actually, US population density looks about the same (at least superficially).

I agree. In the first article, it doesn't tell us how the rats were kept awake, but it gives a hint that they were not kept up by excitement over their latest project:

However, the article opens talking about Guantanemo; it is relevant to consider that such treatment of fellow human beings might be more dangerous than supposed.

However, the odds of successfully recovering from the Swine Flu are 3,720:1.

Like the twisted corridor, when Corran Horn was escaping for the Lusankya.
