Maximized Ratings have been added (linear scale every vote so that  
its natural min and max ratings votes are instead the min and max  
allowed ratings). It turns out to have a few odd distorting affects.

I've also added a javascript widget at the top of the page to show  
and hide the methods for easier comparison.


There's a linear falloff utility function run in the works with  
utility equal to 1-r instead of 1/r. For ranking methods it shouldn't  
matter but for rating methods and rating->Approval conversion  
strategies I'm guessing it will stretch and compress the space in  
some ways but basically maintain the same blobs.
