i've heard a lot about hte micro payment thing to small countries, the guy who inventing it got a noble prize. My dad has this really rich cousine that sends the whole family differnt gifts every year. it used to be stuff like fancy meat or nice coffeecake until last year he sent everyone these giant brandy snifters and someone told him to give up giving everyone crap. well this year he decided to start one of those micropayment accounts for each part of the family. Each account is worth 500$ and we're able to do with it as we please. my parents could care less about it and really don't understand it but i've got a few ideas of my own i'd like to try.

How about I sign up as needing a loan, you loan the money from you and your parents to me, I give it to you in real life (minus small cut) and you mark it as paid back, happily holding the cash. By Damon, at Monday, February 05, 2007 3:05:00 PM i thought of a similar scam w/ paypal and using the reward points on your credit cards. needless to say I was not the first and apparently safeguards are in place to once again slash my dreams.

By Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Tuesday, February 06, 2007 4:37:00 AM Matt are you trying to single-handedly change the US' goofy convention of putting the currency sign before the number, unlike the rest of the world? What about date order like 6 Feb 07, which sensibly goes from smallest to largest unit unlike ours, and don't even get me (and the rest of you engineers?) going on the stupid dumb ignorant American system of units. I found it funny when Fox News referenced the other day what the rest of the world does to further some argument they were making, but why don't they consult the rest of the world on health care, nuclear weapons, whether or not Israel is a legit country, capital punishment, and where the middle of the political spectrum is. My my it's lonely being America. By Damon, at Tuesday, February 06, 2007 6:22:00 PM no i have no crazy ideas about changing anything of the sort, i just like to write it how i would speak it, 500 dollars (500$). same with the date so i would say the month first, july whatever, whatever becasue thasthow i would speak it. By Supreme Monkey Overlord, at Tuesday, February 06, 2007 9:39:00 PM no problems with the english system here. Just don't try to tell me what a "pound mass" is. I'll kick you in the nuts because anyone with a good education knows that the correct unit for mass in the english system is a slug. ykxnqve By ron, at Tuesday, February 06, 2007 11:23:00 PM Post a Comment |
