How To Make Money With Free Software
bmsleight writes "The Dutch Ministry of Finance organized an architecture competition to design not a building, but rather the new 5-Euro commemorative coin. The theme was 'Netherlands and Architecture'. The winning design was made 100% with free software, mainly Python, but also including The Gimp, Inkscape, Phatch, and Ubuntu. The design is amazing — the head of Queen Beatrix is made up of the names of architects based on their popularity in Yahoo searches (rendered in a font of the artist's own devising). In the end the artist, Stani Michiels, had to collaborate closely on location with technicians of the Royal Dutch Mint, so all the last bits were done on his Asus Eee PC. Soon, 350,000 Dutch people will use and enjoy the fruits of free software."

Just asking.
I guess Barack Obama can't rely on the Mississippi vote then.

Race aside, we need a steady hand at the wheel, and that's John McCain. No sense shitting bricks over the economy, that will only make the panic -- which is the cause of all these problems -- worse.
Can you post the sax solo that comes after the colored girls, I love that bit.
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? - Pink Floyd.
There's got to be a clone stamp tool joke in here somewhere...
I suppose there is a certain comic quality to see two comments reporting in the same words that this is a duplicate.
