If you like that, you should love this (eventually). "WolframAlpha Performance Degradation" <http://perfdynamics.blogspot.com/2009/05/wolfra...> The model I used is briefly outlined here <http://www.perfdynamics.com/Manifesto/gcaprules...>

Hi John, We chatted briefly @ Velocity. I did an Ignite talk <http://perfdynamics.blogspot.com/2009/06/ignite...>. Your Velocity talk was great and pretty much worth the price of admission for me. We'll chat again soon, hopefully.

Bravo !!I have been facing similar issues with my site of sending email to a dead addresses, you have just given an idea to overcome this issue, and thanks for putting up in such an elaborated way

seems strange to me that your app would continue to send email to the bad email addresses, and then your mail server stops the outgoing send with the reverse blacklist.

On our system, we just mark the account as disabled, and then the app servers stop sending to it. The mail server is plain old qmail.

Bounce processing is handled similarly to you, but instead of VERP we just added a extra mail header: "X-playfirst-mail", which contains the email identification (account id, type of email, etc.). A python script picks up the bounce messages, parses out the X-playfirst header, and disables the account.

Yes I was wondering the same, we have to abide by the law and may not be right where confirmations are required..

Yeah, but why are laptops best? In this post you just clarify why they are good.
I have a standard pc connected to my TV and works quite fine as well...
Anyway, I love your TV.

This still doesn't work for me :( here's what i am trying to do: I am searching for a name and then I want to edit one the properties of that person. Right now my autocomplete is working well but when I put it in the form and submit, I get an error that "Couldn't find User without an ID" which means it fails to pass the name or id that my autocomplete selected. Any idea? I am really stock.. if I pass the id in the form_tag still doesn't work and if i specify the id in the textbox then my autocomplete doesn't work sigh..
