I mean you order something online and pay with your visa card. Or you pull out cash from an atm. The charge (depending on your bank) is typically so small that it is nothing. At least that's been my experience.
As an example, I frequently travel to Montreal, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. I regularly pull money out of ATMs there and get very nice exhange rates. I wind up paying say 3 bucks as a fee for using a foreign atm (same price I pay here in the US), and maybe eat a fraction of a percent on the exchange rate.
If you're using a credit card, it doesn't cost you anything to "exchange" currency. I've done this many times and the only thing you might want to do is look up the current exchange rate.

I'm a programmer/sysadmin at a large state university in um... the midwest. We use free software to run most of what we do behind the scenes. The reason? To the administration it's cheap, to the techies it works great. It's a wonderful solution to everybody's problems here. However, we cannot release our code under the GPL, BSD license, or Artistic license because some dipshit university vice-chancellor-for-technology-and-weaselness and his team lawyers wants to sell it. Most of this stuff consists of patches and hacks onto pre-existing free software.
We will embrace open source software, but we refuse to contribute to it.
That's advanced capitalism for you: The player making the maximum capital investment gets the maximum critical information in order to reap the maximum desired profit with maximum capital efficiency--and nobody bats an eye.
Latter-day capitalism. Like it or not, it's the society we live in. Even the standard of right and wrong has been subdivided, made sophisticated. Within good, there's fashionable good and unfashionable good, there's formal and then there's casual; there's hip, there's cool, there's trendy, there's snobbish. Mix 'n' match. Like pulling on a Missoni sweater over Trussardi slacks and Pollini shoes, you can now enjoy hybrid styles of morality. It's the way of the world--philosophy starting to look more like business administration.
Natural gas? Bah! It'll never catch on. As a society we've been weened on gasoline. C'mon, that's the way it is. Everything is rigged, tied into that massive capital web, and beyond this web there's another web. Nobody's going anywhere. You throw a rock and it'll come right back to you. Face it. Gasoline is fashionable.

Warez make you blur the distinction between singular and pural, and are thus bad.

Um. What about "fucking off" trolling and then replying to your own threads on slashdot?
Now shut up and get back to work.
Sounds like someone is jealous. You know, if you ask nicely some people might share their toys with you. But not me...you're too mean.

"Us little guys" have a place too as the programmers of tomorrow, so perhaps people might treat us as such, just once in a while.
