In that case, why bother playing at all? Just give them your money and be on your way.
Actually, both sides would greatly benefit from that. Casinos would save a lot of money if instead of a great expensive building and a lot of staff they only needed a small room and a clerk to collect the money. Players on the other hand would save a lot of time. I guess they could spend it earning more money to lose.
They might be able to buy a copy of the game, but I'm pretty sure someone's gonna have issues with them allowing people to play it.
And when it's no longer possible to legally obtain a copy, it gets even more problematic. AFAIK, there's no legal concept of abandonware. The developer might have packed his toys and gone home, but that doesn't mean you can "pirate" his software.
What's wrong with kids seeing partially nude women? Most kids have seen partially nude women regularly when they were infants, and nearly everybody has seen a vagina up close once, and I mean really up close.
Hmm.
Chances are the actual papers were a.doc attachment. I'd never ever open a.doc sent to me from an unknown address. Hell, I'd think twice before opening a signed.doc sent by a close real-life friend.
It's spam volume that really matters.
If I get 10 messages, and 9 of them are spam, i'm much happier than if I get 1000 messages and 500 of them are spam.
On the other hand, if I got 1000 messages, I'd be much happier if 999 of them were spam than if only 500 were spam.
No. Look at the data. It shows the total amount of messages received by Alberts and Zeds. It's painfully obvious that Alberts receive far more of both spam and genuine messages than Zeds. Not because the average Albert gets more messages than the average Zed, but because there are more Alberts than Zeds.
Indeed. The conclusion that I'd draw from presented data is that there are more e-mail addresses beginning with 'a' than with 'z' (and that very few addresses begin with a number). Even the percentage of spam is nearly meaningless. To find anything about which addresses receive more spam, you should look at the average amount of spam per e-mail address in a given group, not the total number of messages.

How about you take the photos correctly, so that there's no red-eye?
You can get photocopies cheaper than that, and that's 'for profit'.
8 cents per PAGE doesn't sound like a nominal fee to me.
Yes.
How's that funny?
We have a T1 line coming into our satellite office
Strap a cart onto it and you'll have a space elevator!
God forbid, no! Of course not! What kind of a criminal mind would think of using pen and paper in a casino?!

Sounds like only allowing alcoholics to enter your bar.
Oh, so now you're not allowed to win, are you?
You mean it's unlawful for any person at a licensed gaming establishment to use, or possess with the intent to use, a brain?
Ah, well, no surprise there.
No, I think they're gonna print their own money.

Which only shows how asinine the law is.

I'm still using coal to heat my home, you insensitive clod!
More importantly, how do you ensure that only data is messed up? Flipping a bit of data might be acceptable. Flipping a bit of code probably isn't.

This is gonna be modded redundant, judging by other replies, but no pop-up for me (Firefox, Adblock Plus, NoScript).
Hans Reiser, is that you?

Actually, 0.0(recurring)1 is meaningless.
