Bush/Kerry Debate Analysis

10

If you are a Microsoft Excel Achiever, download the following spreadsheet:  http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/blogs/gems/philg/DebateAnalysis.xls


You can type in a word and get a count of the number of times that Kerry and Bush used that word in the most recent debate (the spreadsheet includes some samples but I suggest that you try “internet” to get the ball rolling).  An interesting item courtesy of some friends of friends at Harvard Law School.


[Notice that this supplies evidence for the theory that no interesting software is currently being built in C or Java.  While CS grads keep going over the same old ground in C and Java, cool people with cool ideas use declarative programming languages, such as Excel, to build cool programs.]
