Yep. The browser sends an "Accept-Encoding" header as part of its request (with a list of what it supports). And the server can respond back with one of the encodings listed. Most modern browser support compression I believe.

OK, I'll bite. The message itself is 106 bytes. Digg gets ~70 million US visits per month (Compete), with 50% traffic from the US (Alexa), and average ~5 page views per user (Compete & Alexa). So let's say 700 million page views a month. 700,000,000 * 106 = 74,200,000,000 bytes/month ~= 70 gigabytes/month. Slicehost charges $20 for 100 gigabytes/month. I'm assuming Digg pays for unmetered bandwidth, which should come…
You left out the fact that use gzip to compress their pages. So the real answer is - even less.

Nice commenting system on Wired: threaded, voting and cut short for quick expansion - needed at TechCrunch.

It is redundant in precisely the same way.
It is different. "PIN Number" repeats the noun twice. "HTML Markup" uses "markup" twice, but the first instance is a different use than the second instance. In the first instance, it is used as a descriptor for the language. In the second instance, it is used to describe the thing that is written in the language. Now the question is, can HTML be used in a sentence about something other than markup, thereby making the…

You're wrong, it's redundant, saying hyper text markup language markup sounds ignorant. Your defense makes zero sense.
