Marketing and Sales departments ruin products like that. "the best" Isn't good enough for them. Gotta keep adding useless features and tweaking things to "generate buzz" and "shift SKUs".

Never worked at a tech company that didn't have SOME great product ruined by demands from the non-tech departments.

Simple solution there. Nobody leaves South Dakota until 3 weeks after Sturgis.

And no outside medical assistance enters.

Ann Arbor is a WHORE!

I can print money and tell a small business it's redeemable for cash too and they'll kick me the fuck out.

  If you're PAYING with a GNU Taler, it's not cash at that time. Telling them "it's redeemable for cash" isn't going to make them feel better about it.
