Apr 13th 2007 6:01AM #2, the reference to FLlW is correct. But it isn't terracotta tiles, but 'textile blocks', re e.g. the Ennis-Brown house on the LA hills. And, Prarie-style exterior ... that's pushing it a bit...
Alaska Department of Revenue vaporizes $38 billion account {Engadget}
Mar 22nd 2007 6:18AM Well, probably it's not just the labor cost. Assuming one can claim to have to pay later due to the admin latency, interest over such an amount can be reward enough for the payer to fund some IT staff to care a bit less than usual.

Of course; can be defrauded etc., think also of 'starvation' issues (to be solved from the algorithms of CPU scheduling), but would 'relieve' a crossing of the most pressing traffic.
Where am I heading... don't know so will stop now.
