Hmmm. I agree, It would be very nice to have that at BC.

Can we please get an updated list? Thanks...

Antarctica: 68 members

Are there really BC members in Antarctica?

Dunno

Was wondering are these all true figures.

But anyways so glad to that so many use BC.

These numbers are all based on the country people pick when registering.

There are always scientists based in Antarctica. I think there are tours there a couple times a year. But some of those 68 must be penguins.

If you guys ever want to do a safe survey of things like occupations, favorite reading materials, favorite music, etc., to get an idea of the composite BC member or some other model, I am game to do the data entry. Haven't designed templates in years, but will type in info. I know some of the members are very cagey about posting personal info on their profile page for safety reasons, so the poll would have to be designed to protect their anonymity. You already have had some simple polls that basically ask a few yes/no questions; this would be more complex.

Nice Idea mate. Lets put it action then

What are the chances of the penguins using Linux as their OS?

Maybe they're republican penguins. They believe in outsourcing and don't like open source and shareware. (Those are my emoticons.)
