Time for a new user page design! Well, no time now... I think I did a fairly good job with pooled standard deviation which I hadn't heard of before today, and finding sources for p-rep...
alloca needs an article. malloc refers to it in a footnote, and should have an internal link... I did a bit of (re)searching, I should put what links I found...
It has been perhaps six months since I last substantially edited this page [and now quite a while since I made these comments!]. Therefore, it can only possibly reflect what I was like at that time. People change. I have been changing a lot. I noticed that this was amazing to some people I know, particularly a psychologist, which hardly surprises me since I think the current state of the study of psychology isn't very good, in fact perhaps slightly on the bad side, but this is only one persons' worth of evidence whose personality was able to be more flexible than just a single view, and I hardly expected to end up being a much-changing person either, although it was certainly good and perhaps necessary for my well-being. (Now how's that for a run-on sentence! although it depends on how you define that term — even Wikipedia seems only to choose one of the definitions I've heard for that term, one that doesn't seem applicable here....) There is always some value in each person, including the persons one once was. Therefore I will leave this which the me of one point in the past wrote here, as it does not seem outright wrong to me now. —Isaac Dupree(talk) 11:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm a curious person and Wikipedia is an excellent way to learn random interesting things. It is when I am doing that that I see minor problems with articles and fix them.

By "contributions" and "my work" I take this anti-license to mean my edits to the main Wikipedia namespace, and perhaps similar places if they seem similar in intent.
Why public-domain? Well, I hate license incompatibility problems, and my contributions aren't so extensive or self-contained that it seems worth the complications. Maybe that's something like what the reason is...
