I think they should have a "gamble" button too. If something is worth 40 and you only have 20 then a 50% chance of receiving what you're after might be worth the risk. Having to go hunt down change is often more hassle than the money is worth anyway
The metric US guinea is, of course, a dollar and a nickel ($1.05) whereas the imperial US guinea is a dollar and twenty cents ($1.20). Proponents of the imperial US guinea argue that it is easier to use when, for example, dividing up the cost of a meal at a restaurant between three people. Despite this, the metric US guinea is becoming increasingly more popular in North-Eastern states and states along the US/Canada border.
Which is it to be? Can the free market come up with a better solution than government granted monopolies, or can't it?
Realistically priced goods and services.
Maybe more people would be inclined to support local musicians too, having the side benefit of providing more funds directly to the artists. If a a $17 dollar CD gives $50c to the artist and makes them super rich, that same $17 could support many many *more* artists to a good standard of living.
The current situation leaves us *very* content poor.
My old girlfriend would talk for hours on the phone, that doubled when she went cordless and then dummy me bought her a headset and I never got to talk to her again.
I'm married, where can I buy one of these headsets?

It's worth getting one with a widened err... "throat". American toilets block up way too often. Only time I ever had one block in the UK was when I tried to flush a TP roll as a kid. Here in the US it's a monthly occurance.
I think if they had their own way, you would be paying everytime you listened to a song and you would never own it. Imagine a prepay ipod.
In truth, this would probably make more sense than the current model where they claim that you either own the media or a licence to listen to the media depending on what suits them at the time. But to go to such a model would be disasterous to them.

Dang. Fatal flaw. Consider 4, 5 or 6 or 8 people then.

The USPS just doesn't relize that you can't bleed us dry 4 cents at a time
and not improve service.
Indeed, I believe the last justification given for a price rise was "People are using the service less so we have to raise the price".
WTF?
