12:35:44: Research code: code needed to prove a theory in a research paper, phd, etc. I need to quit trying to over-architect/procrastinate mine.

22:45:27: @alex_mck That was rather the point. :)
22:47:12: @alex_mck That statement didn't really make sense even *in* context. Eventually he did say that net neutrality wasn't about freedom, though.
