Many many /. people post as Anonymous Coward because they don't want to bother configuring beyond the defaults.
So..., there are so many duplicate stories because the editors don't bother to change the previous content?
If somebody is planning to replicate the experiment, I wouldn't mind to be a lottery winner. All for science.
And why not give me a computer too.
Years ago, Newt Gingrich had this project of giving computers to poor people, to somehow kickstart them.
