    But to be fair, crappy tire money is still pretty much worthless. :)

    The "hash" e2 1b 81 e7 a4 7c 5d 3c 26 a3 56 0b e0 40 ae de b1 8c b9 b4 hexdecodes to 4huB56R8XTwmo1YL4ECu3rGMubQ=

    Smells like base64 (but the xml wrapper is missing, so i can't decrypt it :P).

    Has no one noticed that US denominations over $1 have colors on the front for years now? You guys must fall for a lot of counterfeits.

    Actually when you compare the prices of things you're getting screwed out of your loonies!

    Ahh, OS/2 Warp. I remember those days. Yes it was technologically superior to to Windows, yes MS failed to deliver anything like they promised, and yes IBM had absolutely no idea how to market to consumers. Still doesn't. Pity.

    Nestlé is Swiss. Sorry. :)

    I thought Alex's complaints with Canadian money had more to do with an ethical issue, since he lives so close to Canada, and requesting cash would be considered unethical. Also, the loonies are so close in size to quarters that it can be irritating!

    IBM missed its chance, they should have brought OS/2 back when vista hit the fan.

    As a native of Philadelphia, I'm disappointed that a cheesesteak or mini Rocky statue was not shipped to you.

    Hell if Vista was the only thing avalible I would have been digging out my old Wyse 120's and I think that brick over there is an arnet board....

    I don't think it's unethical to ask for money, I just dont want to personally be in the business of selling swag. I prefer writing code to stuffing boxes, and getting gifties in the mail is so much more fun.

    And yes, all canadian money is easily confused with real money, and some vending machines don't take the stupid canadian quarters.

    So jealous, in my younger years I would copy all the answers to a test in high school onto the paper insert, then sell that pen for 20$ with a 10$ deposit. I made enough money to pay for gas for an entire year during finals alone.
