    They have a good reason to not waste bandwidth.

    Other search engines can still learn from them. For example Altavista: http://www.not-a-blog.com/urlmagic/i....altavista.com 4.33%

    HTML the old style is a waste of bandwidth: 14 GB saved each day on /. redesign with proper XHTML/CSS
    Add some compression and they'll save additional 11.23%

    My own site is not much better.

    I'm preparing some code that buffers the output and then optimizes the code before outputing it to the browser. This way you still have a readable source on the server.

    well, both my sites are not complicated or anything, that's why i'm guessing they're quite optimized.....also, I code everything by hand dreamweaver also outputs a lot of garbage code when you use it only as a WYSIWYG

    Actualy I don't optimize the structure, I just remove comments, useless whitespaces and line breaks (line breaks are two chars, so replacing them with a space saves one).

    Yeah, it can act a bit like a mirror.

    I ask you all to concentrate really hard on the freedom of all being. Its hard not to be very angry it is impossible We have to focus this confusion frustration helplessness feeling into a creative outlet Anger can spawn such amazing creativity through Street art Free art to teach each other know each other a language our evolution Go ahead and break some dumb rules

    You might want to remove the trailing paragraphs and breaks as well, very ugly.

    I see that my site redisign will be nice and clean

    You gotta remove those tables people. It will cut the size of your site in half.

    Yeah, those could be removed with very little code.
