    because you tried to code them to let you drift and impress your friends, I'm sure that you will somehow manage to bring them back to life.

    wanted you to say?

  8. The guy in the beemer may be more wiling and able to fight the ticket. If you are going to enhance revenue, do you go for a few big fish that might be able to challenge things (making you take a day in court when that happens), or a bunch of small fry that can't take the time to do so.

  9. Too bad those same people on How To Execute People In the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    And when someone pulled out that calculator, you would simply claim that their results must be faulty and that we should spend the next decade or two debating simple math.

    it is only illegal to deface money with the intent to defraud. It's been many years, but that was the claim from some people that made jewelry out of coins. they had the appropriate regulation listed but, like I said, it was many years ago. Also, I think you may be able to decline payment if the money has been defaced to the point that you cannot discern its legitimacy.
