Or...How about burlap cash bags with dollar $igns on them filled with golden dollar coins? You could give each of them a top hat, monacle and cigarette holder, too.
When I went to Wahington State U, we used to get "Bookie Bucks" from the campus bookstore when we sold our books back at the end of the term. They were brand new, sequential $1 bills. It didn't matter if you turned in $500 worth of books, you got 500 $1 bills. For the next week or so, all of the taverns and liquor stores in town were overrun with brand-new $1's.
Indeed; my son was born prematurely and so is suseptible to RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). Each month he receives a 150mg Synagis shot, and each shot is $1000. I'll let you do the math, but I believe that makes Synagis much more expensive than the current price of gold on the spot market.
Just admitting that they underestimated the interest in this competition, and change it to make the rules harder? I doubt that the current requirements include everything that they would like an autonomous vehicle to accomplish.
The next time someone breaks ito a Diebold server, they should not tell anyone, but instead should see if they can ensure that "Cowboy Neal" wins the next few big elections. Inserting the CN code shouldn't be a problem for someone who can get into their info in the first place.
At least this will make it easier to spot the terrorists. They'll be the one with three cell phones in their coat pockets. Because it's that easy, right?
D'accord! The biggest complaint that I hear about switching to the dollar coin is, "I don't want to have all that change in my pocket." But you never have to have more than four of them in your pocket at a time. Get five dollar coins, change it for a fiver.
My friends would rather walk around with a pocket full of coins than try to count out exact change when they make a purchase. Sometimes I have to wonder just how deserved the "lazy American" stereotype is based on little observations like this.
How about if you use a trivial amount of someone else's work, you just make sure you attribute it correctly, and add something to the liner notes that says,
"If you like this song, then you should check out (band X), whose inspired (riff, backbeat, whatever) made this track what it is.
That way, the "original" artist gets the credit, and maybe a sale. I know I'd fire up iTunes and try one $.99 song to check it out.
I recently was out of town for a few days. The tiny little mailbox that my apartment complex provides probably filled up on the second day, so the postal carrier took all of it back to the post office, and left me a lovely note that if I didn't pick it up in a few days, they'd send it all back. Luckily I got back in time to pick up my mail, but it was definitely an inconvenience tracking down which post office outlet had my mail and then taking the time to go get it.
So for a few days my postbox was shut down (mini DOS), because the postal carrier wouldn't leave me any new mail until I found the time to pick up what had already been taken away.
"The original and re-touched photograph are conveying the same thing
That's not exactly true. Photographs can give different impressions of the same incident. I was listening to NPR yesterday, (I can't remember which show, so believe me or don't. I think it was The Conversation) and one of the callers used the photo as evidence of how cruel the US and British forces were. The comment went something like, "Look at the LA times picture of the soldier pointing his gun and yelling at children! It does look more like the guy is pointing his gun at the man carrying the child in the doctored photo. Innocent manipulation or not, the photo was used for propaganda.

Real hot, acid-drenched challange? Sounds like a woman to me.
Does this mean I have to remove all the blank lines from all my code to avoid being sued by SCO?
That depends on where you find your precedents.
I like to use the World View of Live Webcams to get my voyeuristic fix. It's kept fairly up to date, and has hundreds of cams.
I guess that's why this never "got off the ground".
I think they'll get him; he's probably still at his terminal reading all the +5 funny posts because he didn't RTFA.
Just one.

David Horsey, the Pulitzer-winning editorial cartoonist for the Seattle PI, had a similar view.
Good thing I RTFA; I was about to complain
1. about Slashdot editor spelling and
2. about how many old stories are posted here.
"One person with a campfire is nothing, 100 million people with campfires and..."
...you have Yellowstone National Park on a fourth of July weekend.
I had no idea that Roger Daltrey had an opinion on the Open Source movement.

That's not exactly true...some of us who read Slashdot aren't technically savvy and don't know all the tricks yet.

Uh, I just checked, and he is. Thanks Waxy!
I wonder if this guy (BitTorrent link) is from Canada?

"What is it that keeps such an old platform going?"
Dateless Friday and Saturday nights, that's what.
And isn't it interesting that in the most recent economy, the two populations do not intersect? Where do all the 911 drivers work, anyway?
Yes, I know of at least one carrier that charges per kilobyte. I can't imagine them implementing any kind of data restrictions.
Fun little story...
