This message redeemable for one (1) beer per Guild Software Developer upon initial launch of the much-anticipated K.O.U.R.I.E.R. system, at a locale to be determined. Beer specifics to be at the discretion of the coupon recipient, but not to exceed an amount of $20.00

Coupon must be printed & presented to be valid. Limit one coupon per customer. Cash Value 0.00001 of a Mexican Peso. Expires 06/01/2007. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited.

Nice leber... nice. if i wasn't poor, and i lived a little closer, i would add to this pot... but until then all i can do s send some candy first class or something...

Beer? BEER?

LeberMac offering a beer?

The world will come to an end. Or Kourier will be deployed. Same thing.

I'll double that offer!!!

..to make the coupon cash value of 0.02!!!!11!!@!

LeberMac offering a beer?

He can't afford Tequila for each developer. :\

Or, OK, let's call it a "Beverage". Mtn dew, Ale, Tea, Coffee. All included.

Don't forget to throw in a warm chocolate chip cookie like Midwest Express!

Alright.

Oooh unless they get bought out, where will my baked-in-flight warm cookies and my champagne brunches go? (They've already started - you no longer get "real" silverware and salt/pepper shakers... :( )

Life will suck if Midwest gets bought out. I love that airline. Flying American or Northwest just... isn't the same...

Ok, so all I need is the text printed out for the .01 cent value. Nothing about text size, so we'll take that down to the absolute minimum. Then we'll have kinkos spit them out as many to a page as possible, double sided. I wonder if we could bankrupt Lever.

think big lecter go to the nearest vo tech school that has a web press.

I don't think it would take much. He spends most of his money on tequila. Also, i must agree with Liddy, go to a local vo tech or community college and have them run a bunch out for free. If you take it to Kinko's then you'll probably pay more than you get back from Leber. Granted, it would probably still be very easy to make him go bankrupt this way as well. ;-)

You're welcome to a beer as well, Lecter, but you have to come to Milwaukee.

And, in order to make it worth the while, you'd need to put, what, about 200 on each page in order to break even on the black & white copies (2 � per side) - turns out it'll probably be like 3 pt. copy. And you'd need to print, say, 5 million of them to bankrupt me & the family, at a cost of maybe $100,000 to yourself which would not include transportation and delivery of said 8.5" x 11" sheets. That's at least several hundred truckloads. Never mind collections and court proceedings, which I'm sure you'd do yourself to save costs. ;)

In the end, it might be better to listen to liddy and print it up on a web press somewhere. Still, shipping would be a bitch unless you printed it local to me. But, I'll make it more interesting and take the cash value down to be 0.00001 of a Mexican Peso. Tee hee.

Sorry, you cannot dishonor the original face value. At least, your change won't hold up in court.

Thanks, liddy: web press local to Leber it is. It's amusing to think that for far less than the outlay of half a year's salary, I could bankrupt a man. Good thing I like sauternes more than human misery :)

I used to be a pressman for a newspaper helping run a 7 roll 4 color (RGB and black) web press that ran about 1500feet of 25" newsprint per minute, fully automated cutting and folding system too. I think a roll of newsprint is about 600$ for a roll with about 72k feet of printable paper (some is left on the roll to ensure a good running splice). Shipping ain't going to be cheep though, one roll weighs about 1200lbs, better call CCX or Ward. Also it takes for fine black text about 5 gallons of ink and 50 gallons of solvent per roll. The old benzene based ink was a better deal but once its in you it rots everything so best stick with the widely used soy based ink.

also double sided you can fit roughly 600 copys on a page (based on word pad with smallfonts at 2pt) which is 12 cents worth of coupons. So 2cents per side means a profit of 8 cents per page or 40 bucks a ream. That might just cover shipping.

EDIT: you could just take all the beer instead of the pocket change

i hardly think that a posting on a web board would hold up in court. After all, if i got make a million copies of some stock reciept with a par value of .01, it's not gonna get me rich.

Oh, the point is not to make Lecter rich, but to bankrupt poor 'ol Leebs by the expenditure of large sums of money.

<sniff>

/me points out the expiry date on the coupon and that the kourier system is supposed to be released soon(tm).

"soon(tm)" has been replaced with "this week(tm)".

but that's one thing i rather they took their time. it should probably also be used on the test server for some time before it makes mainstream (if that's a possibility). or has that already been done?

"mon ch�que est dans le kourrier", i should say.

Sorry, who?me?, the form of the writing isn't going to trouble a court in the least. A harder time would be had convincing the Court that Leeb's writing was an objectively serious offer; but I think that given the nature and his following comments, one could do so.

Liddy, only devs can get beer according to his coupon. However, the face cash value is not likewise restricted. But I hadn't considered the printing press and news-pulp option; maybe I could actually turn a profit! ;)

Can I get a cut of the profit?

O wait...
