How about you take the photos correctly, so that there's no red-eye?

You can get photocopies cheaper than that, and that's 'for profit'.

I had no idea that 6% of slashdotters have lived in Bir Tawil or Marie Byrd Land all their life.

8 cents per PAGE doesn't sound like a nominal fee to me.

Yes.

How's that funny?

The same kind of jackass would be annoyed by people eating and talking in a theatre or a concert hall. Those are also public places and going there is also a social experience. That doesn't mean you're supposed to eat, talk and annoy others. You're there to watch the film, play or to listen to the concert. If you want to eat and talk, go to a restaurant or a pub.

Interesting. I've had the pleasure of watching a few movies in an empty cinema and it was a great experience. You can choose any place you like and enjoy the best quality of sound and picture without crowd interference.

Strap a cart onto it and you'll have a space elevator!

God forbid, no! Of course not! What kind of a criminal mind would think of using pen and paper in a casino?!

In that case, why bother playing at all? Just give them your money and be on your way. Actually, both sides would greatly benefit from that. Casinos would save a lot of money if instead of a great expensive building and a lot of staff they only needed a small room and a clerk to collect the money. Players on the other hand would save a lot of time. I guess they could spend it earning more money to lose.

Sounds like only allowing alcoholics to enter your bar.

Oh, so now you're not allowed to win, are you?

You mean it's unlawful for any person at a licensed gaming establishment to use, or possess with the intent to use, a brain?

Ah, well, no surprise there.

No, I think they're gonna print their own money.
