I think if I ran for president I would be viewed as an idiot.

Pat Paulsen comes to mind.

Pat Paulsen comes to mind.

And Al Franken ... except a state of confusion elected him.

Who should know better?

It can be argued that anyone that runs for president would be viewed as an idiot.

Wasn't Jesse Ventura also from Minnesota?

In the thread about verifying the cellphone discount, you mentioned data mining. What does that mean and what does it involve?

I t can be argued that anyone that runs for president would be viewed as an idiot.

It could be argued that Newfie doesn't need to run for president for people to view him as an idiot.

Data mining is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science. It is the computational process of discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database systems.
The overall goal of the data mining process is to extract information from a data set and transform it into an understandable structure for further use.
Aside from the raw analysis step, it involves database and data management aspects, data pre-processing, model and inference considerations, interestingness metrics, complexity considerations, post-processing of discovered structures,visualization, and online updating.

The term is a misnomer, because the goal is the extraction of patterns and knowledge from large amounts of data ...

Yep ... the State of Confusion.

Isn't that where the Really Old Driver lives and where the 30 Day Wonder used to live?
