Well it's less mocking and more "will a large set of votes show us people's split seconds judgements". Hopefully at least...I'd like to think we'll be able to see trends emerge based on gender, ethnicity, and appearance in general.

Currently working on the preloading...a lot of the time spent loading is keeping track of inmates you've seen and inmates you've voted for. Going to roll out a way to determine how biased you are based on your votes (if there is interest)

Quick edit: At first all of the images were pulled in with AJAX, but I wasn't sure if that would affect the performance (and Adsense to be totally honest, there's no great way to monetize something like this. Maybe an application but that's a bit of a ways off). If anyone has any experience with ads and AJAX sites I'd love to hear suggestions.

I see. It would be interesting if you could track the users' cursors and see if they "hesitate" or switch back and forth between certain pairs of mugshots!

And surely other AJAX sites use AdSense, does anybody know how they do it?

I'm hoping that I can track "time spent choosing" or something to that effect. I know when I've gone through the dataset (there's about 50k inmates in there, and I'm working on more states) I have had a lot of split-second guesses. And I'm usually wrong! So, I'd love to be able to see how long people spend guessing.
