Take them to a recycling center, so they can be loaded onto container ships and sent to China so they can have their precious metals reclaimed over a charcoal fire.
I think the real equation is ticket cost (times number of tickets sold) vs production cost. A similar economy (modulo liability insurance costs) can be applied to the pharmaceutical companies.
Shell scripts have horrible error handling, and quickly become a maintenance nightmare. These days, e.g. Python is installed everywhere you need to go.
That's exactly what the Perl people said years ago, and we all know how well that worked out (for low maintenance sysadmin-type tasks). I know the sinking feeling I get every time I find a crontab entry pointing to a Perl script.
With an attitude like that, we'd still be using coal to heat our homes. Seriously, the money's already been spent, the staff is already on the payroll. The annual operating costs are a fraction of the construction costs. This being Slashdot, let's use a car analogy - you just bought a brand new Lexus for some serious, serious coin, but on the way home, you got a flat tire. Are you really not going to fix it in the interest of "saving money"?
Slashdot Mirror
"Ripping the bandage off of the scab" is a pretty accurate description of KDE 4.
But not the elect electrons.
It's John Calvin.

Let me think about tha

It reminds me of the electric car I invented - the one with the really really long extension cord.
At least Digg's front page loads without TWO "unresponsive script" dialogs.
To differentiate it from nuclear subs that 'collide in mid-air'.
Toll-booth operators taste just like veal.
Indeed. The rack or the stocks are also useful.

Something about how this particular specimen is highly unlikely to survive long enough to get its genes into the next generation.
Well I'm a Linux and I'm depressed.

Hey! That's my root password!

They were all in the same place at the same time - cyberspace, Nov 8, 05:00 UTC.
I always wondered who slipped that second "m" in "moron".
I'm sorry, this is abuse. You want "Yes, Minister". Down the corridor, third on the left.
Stupid git.
Yeah. Windows will go open source over Gates and Ballmer's bloated, stinking maggot-riddled corpses.
Good point, since so many other games run on Linux, BSD and Mac.
Even more amusing is that somebody registered ComcastSuperBowlPorn.com just to display it.
Yet another distro. Anybody have a link where we can download this One-Size-Fits-All Linux?
