This is so typical Windows/Microsoft behavior. The fundamental
constructs of the OS are so inefficient, that they must re-invent OS
constructs for each application. There is no rational explanation for an
empty document to take up 10K, other than poor programmers. You may
state "reasons," but just because someone can come up with a "reason,"
does not mean another has to accept it as being reasonable.

Compression is like an income tax deduction. It is better to not spend
money than it is to deduct it. Do the math. Regardless of the
"randomness" of the document, it is still not going to evaluate to 0. If
the document contains text, it is mathematically impossible, using
similar algorithms, to compress a larger document containing essentially
the same information as a smaller document to be as small or smaller
than the smaller document.

My Russian tutor was born in Tashkent, Azerbaizhan, attended
St. Petersburg State University, and stayed there until 1990.
Thus she has lived as both an "outsider" living in one of the
republics AND as a Russian "insider" living within Russia.
It was during one of my lessons when she brought the subject up....

Thus, we live in ... what would be a suitable term? ... I think I

Stock is nothing more than Pokemon cards unless one is both able

Consumption taxes hit the lower and middle classes harder because they
spend a greater portion of their income.
Personally, I think MH is greatly exaggerating the amount of tax evasion.
Small businesses dodge taxes or help their employees do the same ( until
they get audited ! ) but it's pretty hard for public companies to do it.

I: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
J: Loren's Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: "Jeem" Dutton is a fool of the pathological liar sort.
C: Jet plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a method of
sidetracking discussions which are headed in a direction
that she doesn't like.
D: Jet claims to have killfiled me.
E: Jet now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
F: Neither Jeem nor Jet are worthy of the time to compose a
response until their behavior improves.
G: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
H: Knackos...you're a retard.
