It could be argued that the programs are 100% oversight.:) Especially when they are akin to the Canadian program for language awareness (the RCMP had to get involved in that one... *ahem* even though they had a hand in the bucket *ahem*).
I heard that the Gates Foundation currently has about 27 billion, net worth. They just donated three quarters of a billion. That's not even close to your $40K->$60 assumption, it's more like $27K->$750. Times one million. There's a bit of a difference. Few people living on $27K (depending on living expenses) can justify donating $750... and for the Gates Foundation, it's hardly chump change either.
Now, if there was a Ballmer Foundation, talk about "chump" change...:)
Young hitmen are more likely to be killed before being able to complete an arbitrarily scheduled hit in the "far" future. They lack skills and experience necessary to guarantee their survival.
Your best bet is to found a sect of monks or something whose life mission is to terminate you at a random point in time, recalculated once every year.:)
Inconsitency is the fault of the developer, not the language. Anyone with sufficient discipline in the programming dark arts can persevere no matter how cobbled-together the language is.
(I say this as a PHP developer, and in particular, one who always ends up using inconsistent function names:))

I would be very interested in finding a tool like that. Something FOSS, hopefully. There's aceproject.com, but they're a commercial service ...
:))
If you find anything, could you let me know? Thanks.

Good post. Now I will proceed to pat your ass to congratulate you.
I guess this explains Abu Grahib.
No, like this one.
I can just imagine the logo -

(But then the X-Men would chase you everywhere and you'd have to fight off all the yellow spandex crazies.)
So true.
In order to get it to work with Roadrunner, you need to buy some Acme-brand ADSL rocket shoes.
Guaranteed to singe hair off of nether regions.
It's true, it's true. If they had intended to be altruistic, it would have been called the "megarich foundation" or something not MS related. :)

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is not Microsoft.
:) I prefer celsius myself. F always throws me off. I'm glad I live by the water, though - thermal regulation is neato.

Doofus. It's 0 F. So he's at -17C. :)

You're a slashdot dinosaur. Get with the times! ;-)
I don't see what cable cars have to do with PVRs ... hasn't San Francisco had cable cars for, like, ever? What gives?

If it was first season, it would have had hilariously embarassing spooky music. But still cool, thanks to Danny Elfman.

Bzzt. C.H.A.O.S.
Great, just what we need. Gigantic walking cornstalk armies.
If you put in in an "earthed metal box", how could you see it to tell if there was any reception at all?
;-)
This sounds strikingly like Schroedinger's Cellphone. You have reception and no reception at the same time.
Or he'll get deeply offended upon hearing "Go to shell".
You mean, you can prove that there's a low probability of prevarication.
