I know an old programmer who bought a trailer equipped with a french frier and pop dispenser.
He sells french fries made from unpeeled potatoes in a paper cup for a $1.50, pop for $1.25 and looking to buy another trailer or two. Makes over a $100K (much of it tax free) in about 4 months a year, traveling to county fairs. Goofs off the rest of the year in Florida.
Its a dogs life for that 4 months, but you if your could put up with, hiring a couple of kids to do the grunt work, it might be OK.
While (open){ Put potato on slicer; Push slicer handle down; Fry potatoes; Fill cup; Give change; }
I'm going to bid on the route when he "retires". Funnel cakes and elephant ears sell well too, but are more work.
Is the technology behind the EV1 a secret? Why not create a set of plans based on the Open Source model that could be used to bypass GM like FOSS bypasses Micro$oft.
Eventually, a RedHat will come along and produce the hardware for the masses.
It may not look sexy like a Jaguar, but it will get you there.
Near us a garbage truck would drive under wires hanging between poles with the tip-up bed raised and snag an overhead fibreline. That happened three times!
An exorbitant bill followed by a lawsuit seemed to fix the problem.
It is official; the Wall Street Journal confirms: The RIAA is dying.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered RIAA community when Variety confirmed that music sales have dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of its all time high, since the online piracy pandemic began. Coming on the heels of a recent BoxOffice survey which plainly states that RIAA has lost even more sales, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The RIAA is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in a recent Wall Street Journal survey of stock performance.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict the RIAA's future. The hand writing is on the wall: the RIAA faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for the RIAA because the RIAA is dying. Things are looking very bad for the RIAA. As many of us are already aware, the RIAA continues to lose. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
CD sales are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of their sales. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time RIAA leader Hillary Rosen only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: the RIAA is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Polygram Records CEO, Edgar Bronfman Jr. states that were about 6.5 billion music buyers on Earth. How many buyers are there now? Let's see. Before the piracy pandemic, the number of buyers versus pirates was roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 6.5 billion/5 = 1.3 billion pirates. Pirate downloads are now about half of the volume of buyers. Therefore there are about 2.6 billion pirates on the internet. A recent count revealed 2 pirate downloads for every buyer purchase. Therefore there must now be less than (2.6 billion/5 =.5 billion) buyers left
Due to the troubles in New York City, Indie successes and so on, the RIAA is going out of business and is being overtaken by other forms of distribution. Now that the RIAA is almost dead, its corpse will be turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that the RIAA has steadily declined in sales share. The RIAA is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If the RIAA is to survive at all it will be among dilettante music dabblers. The RIAA continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, the RIAA is dead.

If your present vehicle is working, what incentive do you have to buy a new one?
It's only after it becomes unreliable (or really ugly from rust etc) that you think about replacing it.
Software (despite what M$ would have us believe) doesn't wear out.
The only way to sell new stuff is have it break down. They only fix a few vulnerabilities at a time to make us believe they're trying to keep it safe, but they really built the "rust" at the factory.
Add a few new "features" (read code bloat) and the replacement cycle starts all over again.
They're probably secretly supporting a few exploits the keep the damand up.
During the Cold War a large wood eagle plaque given by the Russians to the US.
When they whittled the nose away they found a small thimble like cavity with a metal rod attached. The Russians were aiming very strong microwaves thru the building. Voices in the room would be captured in the cavity thru holes in the beak of the eagle. The vibrations would modulate the rod and the changes be detected on the other side of the building.
It is official; the United Nations confirms: Humanity is dying.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Human community when CDC confirmed that the Human population has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of its all time high, since the avian influenza pandemic. Coming on the heels of a recent UN survey which plainly states that Humanity has lost more population, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Humanity is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent United Nations comprehensive population count.

First world populations are the most endangered of them all, having lost 98% of their population. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time World leaders Toni Blair and Vladimir Putin only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: Humanity is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
United States leader George Bush states that were about 6.5 billion humans on Earth. How many Humans are there? Let's see. Before the Pandemic the number of Humans versus Troll posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 6.5 billion/5 = 1.3 billion Trolls. Troll posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of Slashdots posts. Therefore there are about 2.6 billion Trolls on Slashdot. A recent count revealed 2 Troll posts for every Human post. Therefore there must now be (2.6 billion/5 =.5 billion) Humans left
Due to the troubles of Washington, abysmal reproduction and so on, Humanity went out of business and was taken over by other primates who produce another troubled organism. Now Humanity is almost dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Humanity has steadily declined in population share. Humanity is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Humanity is to survive at all it will be among organism dilettante dabblers. Humanity continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time.

Look at stock price. It's now at $65. They'll just have to cut a deal with the patent holder and give them a cut of the profits. That patent holder doesn't want them to dry up and blow away.
Saudi Arabia doesn't want our economy to go into the toilet either. That's where the payoff is.
Ask a hospital worker (doctor, nurse, respiratory therapist) who has intimate knowledge of the number of ventilators their hospital has.
Chances are, they have as many self-powered, automated, ventilators as they have intensive care beds, which in most community hospitals is perhaps a dozen.
If a more than a few dozen patients show up with rapidly fulminating viral pneumonia, (the main cause of death in the avian flu), they whole system is quickly overwhelmed.
Supposedly, the government has hundreds, (thousands ?) of ventilators on standby for just such an emergency (or terrorist act). Look at what happened in New Orleans recently for a live example. Hospital staff were keeping people alive with small self inflating (Ambu) bags. It takes one person to a patient, every minute of the day to keep them alive that way. That person squeezing the bag can't do much else either.
If you get it, chances are good that you're going to die.
J. D. Powers and Associates finds that people complain more about the same problems in expensive cars than cheap cars.
When you buy an expensive item with exhorbitant packaging, like an iPod, expectations are automatically raised. Hence the strong reactions to a scratch, any scratch.
