To further this, people could sign up for 3 or 6 day delivery with 1 day delivery guaranteed with the option of local PO pickup offered. Then you could possibly quarter your drivers and keep an extra for guaranteed postage delivery in a set amount of days (like 3 day delivery).

I don't think we need 6 day delivery. I really don't think we need even 4 day delivery. Mon/Wed/Fri should be enough. There used to be a time in American history where people were expected to go to the local post office and check if they had mail. With USPS tracking, people could sign up to get mail waiting emails or voice mails. Then, if the mail was important enough, they could go and pick it up or wait for the next scheduled daily delivery. Would provide a vastly more efficient system in the long run I believe.

As of FreeBSD 8.1 with ZFS v14 I found it quite stable and usable enough to move it from my solaris install. the rig is a 16 core xeon with 96GB of RAM and 2 areca 24 port raid controllers with 4GB of cache each. Now, the 52TB of data configured into various raidz's and joined into the zpool all work quite nicely. And as of testing with separate drives, I have found it a VERY fast solution maxing connectivity across the 2 gig-e interfaces I have currently enabled on the machine. When you open your mouth, its a good idea to know WHAT you are talking about.

The problem doesn't disallow twins as it doesn't give TIME of birth. Only day. A child born at 11:50PM on Tuesday and one born at 00:15 on Wednesday are still both twins. It also does not include if in that scenario is a single egg birth or whatnot so it could still be a boy and girl twin situation.
