@Hello! My name is Anonymous: half? Not even close.

Contrary to popular belief, the most efficient compression algorithm has already been found.

@badweasel: which R's would you suggest that have been good on technology issues?

@jiznerdo: The author was giving candidates position on those issues. I'm not sure why you have a problem with that. If you think corporate taxes are too high, then vote for the candidates that are highlighted in this article.
