When I resized my browser window (making it either wider or narrower), it would take away or bring back the blank space. It was cyclical, meaning if I kept making it wider it would appear, disappear, appear, etc. Seems like the on/off cycle was a few hundred pixels. I am running two screens, both at 1280x1024. I have attached the source to the page on slashdot.org Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load slashdot 2. make browser wider (or narrower) until artifact appears 3. <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <html><head><title>Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that

But is it the most efficient way to give back change? This <a HREF="http://www.sciencenews.org/20030510/mathtrek.asp">Science News</a> article says that a computer scientist has found an answer. "For the current four-denomination system, [Jeffrey Shallit of the University of Waterloo] found that, on average, a change-maker must return 4.70 coins with every transaction. He discovered two sets of four denominations that minimize the transaction cost. The combination of 1 cent, 5 cents, 18 cents, and 25 cents requires only 3.89 coins in change per transaction, as does the combination of 1 cent, 5 cents, 18 cents, and 29 cents." He also found that change could be done more efficiently in Canada with the introduction of an 83-cent coin and in Europe with the addition of a 1.33- or 1.37-Euro coin.

Rich, can you still reproduce this problem with slashdot suddenly gaining gigantic whitespace in recent Mozilla builds? I saved the HTML you provided to disk and could not get the bug to appear. Perhaps it has been fixed? Thank you for any additional information.
