Sounds like the same stuff you get in water treatment bottles for steam irons from the supermarket. You fill the squeeze bottle with water (not too full or you lose the beads...), shake for a few minutes and use. That start off dark brown and fade with use.
Unless Scrooge has an army of minions to stack the coins, they're more likely to be in a conical stack than in neat piles. Nevertheless, that still translates to a metric shitload of dollars.
Mediawatch, an Australian Broadcasting Commission program highlighting some of the shenanigans that go on in our media industry, have their own awards for this kind of thing.
The Campbell Reid Perpetual Trophy, aka The Barra, is award "for the Brazen Recycling of Other People's Work."
The Jim Ball Prize for media dupes and creative journalism, is awarded to those lifting content from blogs etc. without checking if it is actually true.
In fact, their entire exhibit (the dinosaur wing)...
Birds with dinosaur feet, dinosaur wings - the link is complete!;)
As a birdwatcher, I find it strange that anyone could think that birds are not dinosaurs. Why is that? Is it simply a case of humans wanting to believe that mammals are better than dinosaurs because we live today and they don't?
Not from the source code.
mozilla/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/branding/bran d.dtd and brand.properties contain "Deer Park" as the brandShortName and brandFullName value.
After spending money advertising Firefox to gain brand recognition, why does the Firefox 1.5 final version still have "Deer Park" labelling all over it? Giving the development version a code name is fine, but users should not have visibility of this.
As an analogy, imagine demonstrating Linux to your CIO and the first thing he sees is "Now booting Zonked Quokka"...
COLONEL SANDURZ: Prepare ship for light speed.
DARK HELMET: No, no, no, light speed is too slow.
SANDURZ: Light speed, too slow?
HELMET: Yes, we're gonna have to go right to ludicrous speed.
SANDURZ: Ludicrous speed? Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I don't know if this ship can take it.
HELMET: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz, chicken?
SANDURZ: Prepare ship, prepare ship for ludicrous speed. Fasten all seat belts, seal all entrances and exits, close all shops in the mall, cancel the 3-ring circus, secure all animals in the zoo...
"Short sleeved shirts, man-made fibres and the wrong coloured socks were some of the most common fashion faux-pas cited by corporate stylist, Melanie Moss, who hosted the event on Wednesday night."
Oh yeah? Here I was thinking that highlighter pens were for marking text in documents, but having RTFA I now realise that they're for colouring in that plain white business shirt for instant instant corporate success.
Thank you, Melanie; you're obviously full of chic.
What needs to be remembered is that often a system with bad caps can damage other components, from memory to the CPU to hard drives, even cards attached to the PCI bus.
It gets worse. I have a batch of PCs at work that are starting to die because leaking capacitors - the twist is, the capacitors are on the video card (GeForce 2 MX 400). When the video card fails, it takes out the motherboard with it.
The problem isn't limited to PCs, either. We had a bunch of SunRay 1 thin clients fail due to leaky capacitors in the power supply. To their credit, Sun replaced all of them (failed or not) with new ones that didn't have the problem.

Don't even get me started on women's fashions...
I'd like to see windows in women's fashion - the internals are far more interesting.
I'm waiting for the Aardman Animations version: Plasticene Park.
The funny thing is the seals like to find a nice new boat, the kind with an easy to reach swim platform and then have a sunbathing party on said boat.
Natural selection for boat designers/owners.
I hope you realise that page is a spoof; there wasn't a smiley in your post.

That wasn't a crash, it was just some "Office(TM) politics".

Piped classical music seems to work here at railway stations and shopping centres, and isn't as obnoxious as a high-pitched noise.

So, can we expect "getting linked to from slashdot.org" to appear on next year's Top 20 list?
Oh, he understood it alright - he just didn't like it: "God does not play dice."

"By blocking the gene, the cells were essentially tricked into believing food was scarce and switched them into a survival mode."
While technically the cells may have "lived" for longer, surviving in a comatose state is not my idea of living.

Dying is a health hazard, and thus not safe. It is, however, predictable - and thus favoured by Microsoft-sponsored studies.

Yes, but for a different reason. Have a look at the list of "protected" CDs; who in their right mind would want to rip them?
