        @mhoye this is why Fahrenheit sets 0 at "colder than Denmark" because the dude wasn't into negative numbers.

          @mhoye If you or anyone else here is a participant in #Gallup polls, I implore you to mention this cowardly decision whenever they solicit feedback. I did so this morning and will continue to do so until they reinstate the poll or give me the boot.

            @mhoye

            unsigned integers appeals to a certain type of person and (if I am at all representative of that type of person) there would countervailing annoyance at the idea of a negative approval rating, which is similar to "giving 110%"

              @mhoye I worked for them once, they're heavy Oracle users -- that's why I was acqui-hired when the bought my employer.

              When they flew us in to their HQ in Nebraska to see the inner workings of their sanctum and meet the execs, the CEO skipped out on our meeting because he had to fly to DC to have an emergency meeting/dinner with Bush. This would have been around March 2008. Probably so they could discuss the polls. In February 2008, McCain was ahead of Clinton and Obama in the polls, but that flipped in early March.

              The truth is more likely that they're corrupt and they were trying to agree on how to "fix" it.
