    "Your IP address has scored: 39. This is ranked #7 of the 3507 IP's spotted so far."

    I guess the slashdot crowd hasn't hit it yet? I have two "241"s in my IP address today (strange) which lead to 28 points in and of itself. ;)

    Anyone know how the bitmap or poker hand was calculated?

    No
    If you want that, than you can more easily post some porn as the people who even know what an IP address is tend to have secure machines.

    If an experiment works, something has gone wrong.

    Well, would you rather have 16 billion junk IPs, or a few hundred thousand that have confirmed Web Browser variants (UserAgents) and geographic regions on the other end?

    And again, how is this site any different than any other website on the net in terms of the information available to it?

    I think this isn't really worth a front page article. I can't use the thing because it's already down, but I'm guessing that someone's got some 10 line algorithm that looks for primes or squares in your IP and computes some kind of score. It's not that it's not nerdy, or not interesting, it's just not enough.

    This would be better suited for slashback.
