Wow, that was one long ass read, but so very fascinating too. Thanks Cassandra.  I have to say, I love this sort of stuff. I got into programming way before it was ever cool.  But you couldn't effectively do that kind of thing (without some kind of research grant or a lot of time) back in the day.  And though nowadays my job demands far less programming (and far more management) it's that kind of an application that I would love to be involved with.

For some reason, I cryed while watching "Harold and Maude" the other night.  And I've seen it at least 20 times!  To this day I can't quite put my finger on why exactly that movie in particular moves me so much.  But it does. And it's impressive to me that somebody figured out that certain elements of any kind of art can, in fact, predict it's probability of success.
