Description
The Stamps.com service is a software-application that provides the ability to buy and print USPS-approved postage directly from a user's computer. Customers can print postage for both domestic and international mail pieces using their own ink-jet or laser printer. Postage can be printed directly on envelopes, plain paper or onto shipping labels.
In August 2004, Stamps.com introduced PhotoStamps, where users can upload their own photos or graphics for personalised stamps. The Smoking Gun publicized various stamp designs they had successfully ordered featuring images of Jimmy Hoffa, spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, and the DNA-stained blue dress of Monica Lewinsky. Stamps.com's current policy prohibits images of world leaders or "any material that is vintage in appearance or depicts images from an older era."

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
