Your sortsize program seems similar to the knapsack problem. Perhaps you can solve it as a knapsack problem much faster.

I found that Python could run extremely well on the CLR in many cases noticeably faster than the C-based implementation.

Actually, that's not really something to be proud about (though I'm not downplaying the huge achievement of running python on the CLR). The C implementation of Python is not very optimised, and that's why projects like PyPy or psyco are trying to speed Python up (and succeeding very well). I've had CPU-intensive scripts (such as SortSize) run tens of times faster with psyco, by just adding a line of code to my script.

I'm very wary of typing stuff in public terminals nowadays, because even if I have a USB drive with a virtual OS on it (or at least a copy of Opera), I'm still paranoid that it might have a hardware keylogger attached (although I'm not really worth anything). You can't really protect against that.

Search engine bots don't see sigs (well, unless they're logged in, which I find unlikely). Some people do fake sigs though, like this:
--
$1/mo unlimited RoR, PHP, MySQL, Python webhosting.

This works as well.

Naw, it's not at all serious, as this picture shows.

It's all a matter of taste. Maybe the sites you find stimulating are not as stimulating to other people. My page (plug) is the absolute best page on the entire internet, but it doesn't have all that many visitors.
