I reckon the Government of North Korea will buy the technology behind this app, and use it to monitor the facial expressions of the thousands of people who turn out to cheer a missile parade, or cry when a "dear leader" dies. Anybody caught frowning at a new missile (or alternately, laughing when they realise it's made from balsa wood) or looking happy when Kim's coffin trundles past is immediately sent to the prison farm.
Oy! I happen to be a 100-year-old practising doctor in Bulgaria, and I've been getting thousands of spam emails lately. Stop it, you young punks! In my day, you would have been beaten with a llama-hair whip-of-7-tails, and forced to eat dried Kal-Chulasch for a month......
And I, for one, welcome our new Chinese space-faring overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted Computer Programmer, I can be helpful in rounding up others to . . . toil on their asteroid mines and moon colonies."

Damn....somebody beat me to it. But how about:
I'm Nigerian Share thirty million bucks? You send money first.
OK, I read his "GOTOs considered Harmful" article, and I can't believe he lived another 34 years after it was published. Surely *somebody* tried to kill him to prevent him from writing more stuff like that!!!! Ugg.
(and for the record, I don't like GOTOs either)
I went to an interview and asked for an extra 15K to move from my current job. I knew I was worth it, and I the other company basically said "Any time you're ready to move, we're ready to have you."
I had a think about it, then went to my current boss and told him all about it. He offered me the extra 15K, and I accepted it, staying in my old job. Of course, there were a few token provisos thrown in (work harder, deliver results faster...) but it was business as usual.
I don't feel at all guilty, because the other company never made me a formal offer, and I never had to submit a formal resignation. Also, my current employer had not given me a merit increase in the 7 years I was with them, so the extra 15K was what they owed me anyway.
More Titanium and Aluminium = cheaper Golf Clubs!
I've been saving up for a new set, but I can't believe how expensive those metal woods are! This is the sort of news I've been waiting for!! Damned if I'm going to pay $350 for a Callaway!!
When using real physics in PC golf games, I'm disappointed that the result of the hit is dependant on the user's dexterity with a mouse. A slight deviation from the precise swing path, and the "real" physics causes the ball to hook or slice wildly. For me, this is totally unfair. As a real golfer, I can hit most shots fairly straight, and even a mishit will not result in anything as exaggerated as what a PC golf game can dish up.
I'd like gold games to have an option where 50% of all shots finish on the fairway, 50% of all shots are at the optimum distance for the club selected, and 50% of all putts are going to finish within tap-in distance. Until PC golf games can deliver this, I won't bother playing them.

...as long as it doesn't "hit" its target.

Annoyingly hypnotic buzzing sound convinces all that this is wise.

Dunno what the shuttle's worth, but it probably similar in value to a Greek Urn.
