Sklyarov Released On $50,000 Bail
Mike Schiraldi was the first to write about Dmitry Sklyarov's release from jail, even before it happened: "According to this live report from the courtroom, Dmitri will probably be out of jail real soon now. Of course, he still won't be allowed to leave Northern California, but it's a start ..." Soon after, inaneboy pointed out this Reuters story on yahoo which says that Sklyarov has been released, on 50,000 dollars bail, raised by his employer, ElcomSoft.

Oh please, he's been to Vegas, surely he sees everything doesn't suck. And the food was probably better in jail than in Russia.

Often, we see the same things day in and day out on slashdot. Why not use it as an excuse to get drunk?
Rules:
1.Start around 9am, EST, when it's reasonable to assume hordes of slashdotters will have gotten to work and begun wasting the day trying to get first post on their company's fat pipe. (If you can actually drink at work, post where you work. I'll send my resume)
1a. If you can't get all your friends together for an all day binge, start at night with the oldest article.
