But what does it all mean?

Good question. I've never even heard of some of these, so have no idea how they figure the closeness factor.

ISTR it's a pretty simple "listed on the largest number of your friends' pages but not listed on yours" metric.

I do wish people who make these toys wouldn't host them on underpowered servers ...

I wish the people who write these computation-intensive toys wrote them in a language that compiled to machine code.

(Sorry, Aahz, python is just as bad.)

Well, yes, that, too.

Same problem, different perspective.

The OH says: "You can remind Alan about the difference between O(N) and O(N^2)."

If youse want to argue further, y'all know each other's email address. :-)
