But, isn't the universe deterministic? (In which case I don't think you could arrive at such a precise answer.)

I feel like this website is too ugly for me to begin a discussion on determinism. =(
Ok, so party at my place this weekend for me and Diana.

The site deliberately makes use of /your/ font face and size settings and /your/ text and page colors. So, it's not the website that is ugly--it's /your/ settings.
Also, there's not really too much to debate on determinism. It either is or it isn't, and this can only be determined by experiment. But, that being said, I'm pretty sure everyone (that matters) thinks it's deterministic--the alternative is like believing in deities--sure they can't be conslusively disproven, but for ALL intents and purposes, there is no god. A non-deterministic world doesn't really make any sense--like god.
