THE OFFICIAL REPUTATION PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION
==============================================

Create a function that will connect to the Global Reputation Server, and
submit the name of the person to the server. Their reputation will be either a
positive integer between 1 and 10 (for good people), or a negative reputation
between -1 and -10 (for bad people). No body has a reputation of 0; all people
will have at least 1 or -1 reputation.

NOTE: Due to placing our server in the midst of a magnetic storm, the
connection will fail at times, resulting in no response at all. Keep trying,
of course, but not more than 3 times per user name or else.


ACTUAL USAGE NOTES
==================
In reputation.php, a get_reputation() function takes the person as an argument
and returns the reputations (which is just randomly chosen to be between -1 and
-10 or 1 and 10). We simulate internet noise, so half the time you'll get a 0,
i.e. no answer.

In other words: get_reputation() should return...
- a negative rep 25% percent of the time
- a positive rep 25% percent of the time
- a non-response 50% percent of the time
