FLOP = floating-point operation

Thanks to my most eager and vigilant user

If I post two entries within fifteen minutes of each other (sometimes less), it seems that somebody has viewed the first before I post the second.

Thank you so much for your interest.  I hope you can tell many others.

I need as many readers as possible to counter the increasing number of Russian reverse spammers.  I can’t believe that there are five times more people in Russia who are interested in this blog than there are in the United States who read this blog.
