Re:Ebola, West Nile, Rift Valley
And if you want to get down to the molecular nitty gritty: then this is the graph to check out. Interaction with the cytoskeleton seems to be key for Ebola... (I never knew that.)

Re:Ebola, West Nile, Rift Valley
This graph may or may not help in your search for the answer. It points to tropical climate. Presumably they are not called "tropical diseases" for no reason at all...
Also see this graph (by continent) or this graph (just for fun) or whatever takes your fancy really. -

Re:Browser usage
Talking of meaningless statistics, how about this weekday/weekend analysis? (Is the blip on Fridays due to the alliteration?)
Or perhaps more interesting/informative is the trend in recent years...
Or the slightly bizarre, but believable trend for conservative US Presidential 2008 candidates to use IE... (although the reverse is not true for Democrats and FF) -

Re:Someone explain this to me?
Indeed... the general crapness of websites and emergence of web 2.0 seem to be anti-correlated in recent years...

Re:KDE vs Gnome
[plug]
Well, your mileage may vary, but you could try compare-stuff:
KDE vs Gnome
Fedora vs openSUSE
You get the idea... (I hope!)

Do you like my dynamic GD::Graphs?TFA is hardly news, but whatever... here are some of my dynamic plots with GD::Graph. Comments welcome.
They're quite pretty in my opinion, but having read this thread, I realised they are not anti-aliased and that's not easy to do in GD::Graph at the moment (while drawing the lines, at least - I just read there is a trick one can do with resampling a 4x image).
Also, there's a problem with the lines not really being the desired thickness perpendicular to the direction of the line...
It was dead easy to get working though!

Re:Sudo vs. Root?I'll fight you with another hard-to-justify web comparison insecurity of sudo vs. root login
;-)You can change "insecure" any other word/phrase (and probably get completely contradictory results).

Cheap market researchForget the ratings, find out what people think by asking them or, if that's too expensive, use the web. (Warning, plug ahead...)
For example you can get an idea which of several shows is innovative (as opposed to formulaic), hilarious (not serious), entertaining (not boring), never missed (as opposed to missed), and so on.
Of course this is all very approximate, and a lot of the text on the web is written by the TV networks themselves, but at least you can ask any question you like (which program to people watch in bed, or watch eating pizza, etc).

And they're pretty mean hackers too...
While we're in the mood for statistics, here's what the web "thinks" on the subject.
You get the same result with damaged too. -

Shocking Tanks
What about Shocking Tanks? I've only read about them, but they look like lots of fun. Has anyone tried them?
And now for the plug... here's some advice for buying fun or useful stuff. -

web head-to-head on Paypal and pals
This is a plug... but a useful one I hope. You can quickly get a handle on the "web's opinion" on things like this with compare-stuff, here's how:
Four micropayment systems compared with respect to the words/phrases:
excellent
no hassle
efficient
extremely helpful
As you'll see, I'm trying to claw back my hosting fees with Amazon product links... Hasn't worked yet ;) -

Monster vs. Belkin vs. Radio Shack
This is a plug, but it might be useful to anyone making a non-critical decision (like cable purchases...)
Monster/Belkin/Radio Shack video cables compared in terms of: excellent
great value
overpriced
faulty

Lucas speaks in London on Phantom Menace
I just saw this:
The Guardian newspaper has a short piece about Lucas defending Phantom Menace [also annoying popup].
Quick plug:
Why not compare all the Star Wars episodes in one swell foop! (You can also try terms like: lame, merchandise, thrilling, classic etc...) -

Re:Google/CowboyNeal Study
Here's the graph, kind-of... CowboyNeal's balanced diet. But I guess it's really just another blatant plug...

even Bill thinks he sucks more than ever
I don't claim this is the authoritative answer, or an in-depth study, but the raw data comes from Bill's very own MSN search: bill gates sucks, check it out...
Google SOAP thing for compare-stuff is in the pipeline... -
the answer from the web...
ok, so I took some of the commonly occuring model names (not manufacturers) in this thread and plugged them into compare-stuff. follow this link to get the results from compare-stuff with a random choice of search engine (try the others to see what difference it makes) - of course it depends what words you choose but it seems to be in favour of the inspiron.

Re:you can do simple analyses with this new tool..
something like this, perhaps?

already done...

you can do simple analyses with this new tool...
check out compare-stuff.com/pubmed to analyse relative co-occurrence in PubMed articles.
you can compare more than just gene names too: disease/condition names, reagents, techniques, author's addresses, whatever...
