Here is my Hackergotchi. I’ve never been too adept at The Gimp, but I think it’s not too bad, right? The real problem is that it’s hard to have a beard and a proper drop-shadow. Maybe if I lightened up my beard a bit so the shadow is more obvious… (probably won’t look quite right in Internet Explorer, which still can’t render transparent PNGs properly).
Having to pay $815 to take the Massachusetts Bar Exam is a little like having to pay Information Retrieval Charges:
“I understand this concern on behalf of the taxpayers. People want value for money. That’s why we always insist on the principal of Information Retrieval charges. It’s absolutely right and fair that those found guilty should pay for their periods of detention and the Information Retrieval procedures used in their interrogations.”
