    I'm just glad that it's finally time for the Dems to put up or shut up. Fix it or GTFO.

    From day 1 the democrats were labeling McCain as Bush Jr.. if that's not negativity, then I don't know what is.

    The simple fact that you see pairing McCain and Bush as "negativity" says a whole lot.

    First you say...

    I feel that the role of government is simply to protect our lives and our property from one another.

    And then you contradict yourself...

    Tomorrow I go to the polls to vote Libertarian.

    The gonvernment can protect us fron each other without intervening. The bailouts you despise are meant to protect everyone from the collapse of the economy. Your property will be worthless if the economy collapses.

    Silly libertarians. You always thing the free market can handle everything. The free market can't handle anything if it burns to the ground.

    The war in Iraq has happened, you can now not just say "well, we don't want it anymore, bye bye." and pull out.

    good interconnectivity

    Making good interconnectivity is trivial. Just use blocks of minimum width 2 and offset each row by 1. Instant perfect stability.

    Finding the combination of decisions that yields the optimal (for a given set of weights) arrangement is NP.

    "Good enough" is often better than optimal when you're dealing with a real world solution to a problem. It's much better when "good enough" takes only O(N). :)

    Then there is the rigidity issue

    Mmmmmm, not really. Just use a standard grid, then offset every other row by 1/2 square. Rigidity issue solved. Visually there will be little difference, and less the larger the image gets.
