Netflix pays for automation rate presorted First Class Mail. Automation means it's going to be but on the Delivery Point Sequencers. If Netflix wanted the disks hand sorted, they would have to pay the non-machinable surcharge (about $0.20 per piece). That being said, almost all of the return envelopes are hand sorted, because it is not automation compatible (the floppy bit at the front folds over the address, and the machines can't read it). The OIG recently sent Netflix a letter telling them to redesign it, or else. Really, I don't know why Netflix doesn't, all it takes is rotating the address panel 180 degrees, so that the floppy bit is at the back.

Yeah, the ones that know that you don't need 5fps to get a good shot, you just need good eyes, good glass, and a decent sensor/film to capture it.
Oh, and the true pro photographers that still shoot medium format film.
Here's hoping phnxamg remembered to check off "E-mail me when someone replies to this comment."

Soon, you'll have to scroll through 50 pages to find a comment that's not a reply to the first.

Okay, let's start here:
Clerical Celibacy is a rule of the Western Church. There are over 20 Rites that are part of the Catholic Church. Only the Roman Rite (the largest Rite) does not allow married men to be ordained to the Priesthood. It does allow married men to be ordained to the Deaconate. The Eastern Rites allow married men to be ordained to the Deaconate and Priesthood, but not to the Episcopate.
No rite allows ordained men to be married, except under one case where the Pope may grant a dispensation if a married priest's wife dies, and he has young children (the children need a mother, so he may be allowed to remarry).
Second, Clerical celibacy does not degrade the calling of Marriage at all. Both marriage and ordination are sacraments instituted by Christ. Neither is a "better" calling, they are just different callings.
And for the final point: How do you explain the greater number of pedophiles found in protestant ministers and Jewish Rabbis? They are allowed to marry, so logic says married clergy is not the answer

They posted a $5,000,000,000.00 loss for the last year. . .
And the price will go up $0.01/year for Single-piece 1st class postage for the forceable future.
Tell the government to pay the post office the $500,000,000.00ish they owe the PO for sending non-profit mail at below cost rates, offering free mail for the blind, and sending all election materials for free.
Also, stop sending those stupid square greeting cards.
Square= non-machinable i.e. sorted by hand. Do you really think the extra $0.20 covers sorting it?
They do offer "Do not mail list" service. Go to your local post office and ask to fill out the form. After this is on record no standard mail will be delivered to your house, it will all be thrown out at your local PO. Your name then gets added to the Direct Marketing Association's Do not mail list. I then purge your name from any mailing I do by comparing the mailing list and the DNM list and suppressing records found on both. This saves my clients money, prevents waste, and saves me time.
If you want to ensure you don't get any "junk mail" (Junk mail is just a great offer sent to the wrong person) be it standard rate or first-class, you have two options: 1) take out a restraining order on someone (this removes your name from the National Change of Address database, and deletes your record from any list compared to it), or 2) Become a mob informant and get into the witness protection program (this does the same thing, but is more fun)

Well, that's all for me you friendly interweb "USPS Certified Mail Quality Control Specialist" I hope you've enjoyed this learning experience as much as I have.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
