I found a bug (or inconsistency) with the applet. The FSM and A* Path Finding Comparable both stop running the simulation when they find all the dust, however the A* Path Finding Incomparable stops only when the entire room has been covered. Makes it a bit harder to compare all three types.
Yeah, I know that "by law each class of mail service must be self sufficient" on paper. This is even mentioned in the USPS knowledge system here.
But do you think that the USPS would be able to afford to pay for the fuel, personell, trucks, sorting equipment, tracking equipment, etc on what it makes without bulk mail (which is now called Standard mail btw).
Incidently, my mother is actually a supervisor at a USPS facility in NYC. She has made it clear to me on several occassions that bulk mail is a big part of what keeps the USPS going.
You can already opt out of all bulk mail from the USPS if you request it. Be aware, however, that bulk snail mail is what basically subsidizes our current low postage rates.
I hate to reply to my own posts, but it is even more severe that I noted above. The 1450 that I listed isn't the actual total number of bugs. That is just the maximum that Mozilla will show. I saw this error printed at the top of the page when I went back: "This list is too long for bugzilla's little mind; the Next/Prev/First/Last buttons won't appear."
A quick search in bugzilla (search for Evangelism) reveals 1450 open Tech Evangelism bugs for things that work in MS IE and even older version of Netscape, but don't work in Mozilla. Many of them are caused by poor sniffing of the browser and use of old DOM such as layers.
Take a look at all of the DaimlerChrysler passenger car websites such as Chrysler or Dodge. They all use layers and do not render correctly in Mozilla as a result.
Now consider the fact that 1450 is only the number of such sites that have been reported and that are still open. There have been many reported sites that have been closed simply because the Mozilla team sees no hope of convincing the webmasters to change their site!

As for "bundling with thinkgeek", I'm not sure how that would help much seeing as Thinkgeek is also owned by VA Software.
McDonalds in Sweden actually offers veggie burgers (they call them garden burgers). I'm not sure what a tallow-free fry is, so I can't say if they offer those or not.
Btw, the Veggie Whoppers are better than the McD Garden Burgers.
Here is a new site that is just getting started. It is called Disruptive Ubiquity. Perhaps a fresh new site is what we all really need. I remember in the "good ol' days" of Slashdot how much I liked the site. Maybe starting fresh will bring some of that back.
That's all well and good, except it is us, the users, who actually provide the content of the site. Without the users, there would be no stories submitted, there would be no comments, there would be no Slashdot.
With that in mind, why should the users, particularly those that contribute to discussions, have to pay?
Regarding image size: Having the image size in the code is a Good Thing (TM).
It allows the browser to know the size of the image in advance and begin laying out the elements of the page at the same time that it is still downloading the image. It is always a good idea to include the image size in the source when possible.
OMAP used to stand for "Open Multimedia Applications Platform" but from talking to someone at TI that works with OMAP they decided to drop the acronym and simply call it OMAP. So, now, OMAP doesn't actually stand for anything, it is just the name for the platform defined in the link I posted.
I'm not sure if it is still done this way, but when I was running the campus radio station back in college the Billboard charts (and several other magazines) were based on radio station playlists, not on actual sales. Every week our music reps (Rock, Alternative, Urban, etc) would submit a list of the top 10 songs played in that genre which included how many times during that week that the song was aired.
This was all part of a complex system were we also reported playlists directly to the record companies to show them that we were playing the music that they were sending us. The more we played the stuff they sent us, the happier they would be and the more likely they were to send us more free music.
Of course, since we were a college station we had a wide range of music that we would play and we were still niave enough to go "screw you" if we didn't want to play something that they were pushing:o)
At home, I can sit on a comfy couch and watch an entire movie all the way through without anyone talking over it or walking in front of the screen eight times to go to the bathroom.
Man, I wish you'd talk to my wife and convince her not to talk during movies at home!
For a second there I thought it said "Mike Tuck @ webmasturbate.com". Of course, if that were the case I guess the title would have been "The Real History of the Gooey".
The only problem with using a digital tuner in this situation is that you really want to tune to match the rest of the band. If they are all slightly off in the same direction, you will want to match them rather than being perfectly in tune yourself.
You obviously don't know what you are talking about. This change by Verizon will not stop Verizon customers from using the pair.net relay for their non-Verizon email. If Verizon were to start blocking port 25, then that would be a whole different ball of wax. ---
How is this informative? Basically what you have here is a small ISP that has a less than useful service for their users. How can you provide hosting and NOT provide a mail relay for your customers??? If I were your customer I would be looking for another hosting company ASAP. There are plenty of them out there that offer great service and good pricing and obviously have a lot more resources and expertise than your small shop. One that I highly recommend is pair.net. ---

Ummm, the TiVo modifications (to any GPL software) are already available directly from TiVo.

Hope this helps.
I'll save you the trouble and place a direct link to the OMAP page at TI.

It could have some interesting uses. How about this (in pseudocode since I don't know Ruby):
$indent = "....";
...
print $indent * $current_indent_level;
print $indented_text;
That's what the Reply-To: field is for.
Btw, every time you read a webpage, you are downloading something, so your argument makes no sense.
