Post the Fifteenth

Wherein your Host Proposes a Research Topic

Someone should look into this. Seriously.



... although I think their causal arrows are mixed up: it seems more likley that global warming is destroying delicate pirate habitats rather than a decrease in pirates is causing global warming. Maybe I'll use my new R skillz to investigate further...

I think you have a serious data problem. While the number of high seas pirates (the typical classical pirate, vis-a-vis his ninja competitors) might have decreased in the Caribbean, there are still a growing number of pirates (sans eye-patch, I suspect) in the Indian and southern Pacific Oceans.

Not only that, but you also ought to consider the growing number of software and other content pirates forced underground by content protection.

I think that the real connection is the declining safe habitat for software piracy that is causing global warming.

What better tool to study the demise of piracy than "Arrrr!" (aka "R")? Watch out for scurvy in the co-op, matey.
