Although, I never noticed before, but pi + e = pie! So pie = 5.85987...

No, it wasn't. It was in Florida, which is in the United States.

Regarding the gold standard, I believe (and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong ;-)) that no one uses the gold standard anymore because it allows governments to then just print money to solve their debt problems....

Very true, but the point about gold is it does have some practical uses, and so people probably _will_ want it in future...

MTV Takes on P2P by Making South Park Free 206

Posted by CmdrTaco on Saturday December 01, 2007 @11:29AM from the oh-my-god-they-killed-viacom dept.

thefickler writes "MTV Networks, the biggest division of Viacom Inc., has announced plans to make every South Park episode available online for free as part of a plan to make the show available to a larger audience." This is apparently largely because of the success of a similar project where they put every episode of The Daily Show on-line a few months back. This action didn't hurt ratings, and it may have actually helped them.
