[I'll probably put one of these on the site Monday, but with some reservations -- I'll have to look into how this information is being collected, etc., and whether or not it is more an object of bitter fascination rather than something that could rally support for the anti-war cause.]
Download Your IRAQ BODY COUNT Web Counter Here
The IBC Counters provided on this page carry our rolling update of total civilians reported killed, with both a Minimum and Maximum estimate given for accuracy, and are designed for extremely quick & easy installation on any website.
The white squares containing the actual numbers are provided directly from our webservers so that visitors to your site will always see the latest updates (which is why it's not necessary to include that part of the counter in the downloads below). The graphic with "Updating..." is a background which will appear only if there's a pause while the numbers are being downloaded from our server. To account for different web page layouts we provide a range of shapes and sizes, with a more eye-catching "red text" version of each graphic.
"something that could rally support for the anti-war cause"
So another words, don't post it if it shows the US/UK military are doing a good job of keeping the casualties down.
Your one sidedness is showing.
Posted by: Paul Hart on March 21, 2003 04:49 PMWhen Batman went home at the end of a night spent fighting crime, he put on a suit and tie and became Bruce Wayne. When Clark Kent saw a news story getting too hot, a phone booth hid his change into Superman. When you're programming, all the variables you juggle around are doing similar tricks as they present one face to you and a totally different one to the machine.

If you think of the Stack as a high-rise apartment building somewhere, variables as tenets and each level building atop the one before it, then the Heap is the suburban sprawl, every citizen finding a space for herself, each lot a different size and locations that can't be readily predictable. For all the simplicity offered by the Stack, the Heap seems positively chaotic, but the reality is that each just obeys its own rules.
