Well - all commercial mail DOES require a machine readable barcode.

Collection mail that is hand addressed (i.e. not courtesy reply or business reply) is a very small fraction of all processed mail. For that mail, OCR systems + remote encoding stations can very efficently barcode the mail.

They 100% aren't. The concept of discounted rate periodicals and std class mail was to use up slack capacity on slower mail days. Good concept.

But now that the 1st class mail volume has dropped to what it was, they are not charging enough. They have attempted to raise the rates, but the Postal Regulatory Comission has come down hard on any attempt to proportionally raise the rates of perodicals, non-machinable flats, and other "low value" documents.

They do.

There are full body scanners to get into the Capitol and White House.

Is to find very powerful consistencies, and pit them against each other.

So I propose that a few states with a lot of airline jobs and money should go ahead and dare the Federal government to make them a "no-fly" zone. I would recommend Georgia - which contains a delta hub- and maybe Illinois, because of Boeing.

Both would essentially shutdown air travel in the US. Florida, because of Wald Disney World, would be another excellent choice.

This is yet another story that boils down to: trust doesn't work, sand-boxing does.

You are just wrong on the technology.

The reason that Santorum has very high results over time is because the links are not link farm links. Google places a high value on unique content, from non-spammy sources.

Every time someone blogs about him, with unique content, and links to the site, it increases the trustiness of the site. Link farms create low value, untrusted, inbound links. They are easy to filter out because they all share the same characteristics.

If you got 100,000 conservative activists to push an internet meme against a Democrat, or whomever, for 5 years, you'd build up millions and millions of good, high-quality, inbound links to a URL. But you that hasn't happened. (Because it's hard, and requires conviction - things you aren't going to get in five minutes).

Well, you shouldn't over generalize. MySQL has some really big installations. I migrated an Oracle app to MySQL successfully and easily - it's a production billing system with over 5,000,000 rows active.

Definately different niches, but when people start learning and exploring MySQL, it can only hurt Oracles bottom line. Especially at the mid-line, MySQL Enterprise can be a threat against Oracle.

The thing of it is, the yield is almost irrelevant. Destroying the city is not really a goal; well, it is maybe, but the havoc that denoating even 1 kt weapon in a major US city is going to be a weapon in itself.

Americans have no clue how nasty radiation really is. Dropping a small scale nuclear weapon in a population center would render that space unusable for how long, again?

That's the whole point. Taking out wall street is a big victory symbolically, let's say, and making sure you no one can come within a mile of it for 2000 years is a bigger victory still.

Your moronic bleating doesn't make his statement any less true.

You are correct sir, but only because his statement contained no truth to be lost in the first place. HAND.
