Moore's Law Original Issue Found
Daemon writes "BBC News reports that a copy of the original issue of Electronics magazine in which Moore's Law was first published has been found under the floorboards of a Surrey engineer's home. David Clark had kept copies of the magazine for years, despite pleas from his wife to throw them away." Intel, it seems, has its bounty fulfilled.
That's going to be one hell of a return on investment for him.
Blessed be he who reads this post, Cursed be he who tells my boss.
I would auction them off at Christies with a starting Bid of 10K , let Intel fight for them as im fairly sure they could be worth a fair bit more than intel is offering as a colection and if not then intel gets them for 10 grand.
Cough or he could do the moral and ethical thing of giving them to the local library for nothing
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
Causing that kind of media frenzy about how they were right once fourty years ago is priceless. Great job on some PR firm's part.

Here's a serious answer to your semi-serious question: spend $50 on a justice of the peace.
For us, the cost of the marriage license included having a judge perform the marriage (I think: it was 14 years ago, now, and some of those trivial details are starting to fade.). We went out to a nice restaurant with my parents and friends, afterwards. Total cost was under $200.
If you do it right, this will be your first and last marriage, so you want to do it right. Just remember that spending money, having a big party, having fancy clothes, and all that expensive jazz, has nothing to do with ``doing it right.''
Your wedding celebration may be the last wedding you'll ever have, but it's just the first of many celebrations you and your wife will have together.
See what I've been reading.
Actually, the fortunes are created because of this. If every kid who ever bought Action Comics #1 or any of those old comics still had his copy, they'd all be hardly more than a novelty collector's item (like an issue of TIME from the same period). The same goes for baseball cards, etc. The very fact that these things are now seen as "valuable investments" and saved means that, most likely, they never will be.
