I spent 10 minutes trying to log in using Chromium. It half-way showed that I was logged in, but I couldn't actually sign a petition. Logging in with Iceweasel (Firefox), it worked immediately.
Also note that sorting by price doesn't actually sort correctly. In this search, a $6.99 card comes before a $5.99 card (both with free super-saver shipping). This is so broken (and has been for so long) that I almost think it must be intentional somehow.
I think this list is greatly erring on the side of caution. Some of the descriptions are incorrect, for example:
Aspirin (Bayers) is trademarked in several countries around the world, including Canada and the United States. The word Aspirin cannot appear on any imagery submitted to the RF collection.
Bayer famously lost its trademark for Aspirin in the United States after WWI as part of war reparations. It is still trademarked in Canada and many other countries, so possibly should be avoided in photos that are being used globally.
The article confuses "exponentially" and "quadratically":
scales roughly quadratically with the issue-width. That is, the dispatch logic of a 5-issue processor is twice as big as a 4-issue design, with 6-issue being 4 times as big, 7-issue 8 times and so on
Searching online, it seems that quadratically is correct; the explanation of "quadratically" is the mistake.
Pretty cool, but it assumes that many options are independent when they may not be...
If I "reduce military to pre-Iraq war size" and "reduce the number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to 30,000," can I really save the sum of $49 billion and $169 billion, or am I counting some reductions twice?
If I increase the medicare age to 70 and cap medicare growth, can I really save the sum of $104 billion and $562 billion?
Even assuming the revenues from taxes takes into account reduced economic activity / moving investments outside of the USA, etc., are there effects from combining them that would further reduce revenue?
_Godel, Escher, Bach_ describes similar phenomena with camera feedback loops. When I read GEB, I wondered if it would be possible to create a Sierpinski triangle using four specially shaped/curved mirrors. I briefly played with povray, but didn't figure it out.
I was excited to try this service out after reading the article. I called them up, and after a couple minutes on hold, was connected to Michael. I didn't need to enter my account number, but it's possible they used my phone number to know that I have a credit card.
I asked him if there were any local stores that sold caffeine-free Diet Mountain Dew. He put me on hold for a couple minutes and came back, asking if I had tried Wal-Mart or grocery stores. I told him I hadn't seen it there. He said that he found some Facebook page talking about caffeine-free Mountain Dew, but he was unable to access it because Facebook was blocked from his location. He suggested I search on google for it myself. He apologized for being unable to help me.
How do they determine the "best layout" at the top? I pasted in a couple hundred lines of code and it claims that Colemak is the best, but Arensito (hadn't heard of it before) has fewer meters traveled and more home row usage (where Colemak is beat by everything except QWERTY).
At any rate, all the layouts other than QWERTY and Personalized were within 10 percent of each other for meters traveled.
In my case, Colemak was declared the best even though Capewell had less travel—because, I believe, Colemak had a considerably greater proportion of index-finger use. I reckon that because the Personalized layout clearly aims for maximum index finger use, with a slight favor on the right.
http://perldoc.perl.org/pstruct.html takes this a bit further (but less portably), and compiles the code to assembly and parses out the debug records to find the information about the structures.
