"Time is money" implies 
 
Time = (some constant) x money
 
We already know that velocity = time x distance so it would make just as much 
sense (cents?) to say that velocity = money.  Also my grandma used to say that 
"A stitch in time saves nine".  So logically we can deduce that she must have 
been saying that "A stitch in money saves nine".  Some people say that "money is 
the root of all evil".  So therefore "A stitch in the root of all evil saves 
nine"? And of course time (divided by constant) is obviously the root of all 
evil.
 
How do i value time at work?  If i am fixing some Windows problem and i happen 
to mention that linux would not even have the problem in the first place and 
while fixing the Windows problem i chat about how easy it would be to set-up a 
dual-boot then how much is that time worth?  If i am watching tele with the 
family how do i value that time?  Does that time have greater or lesser value 
than time spent playing frisbee in the park with my son or watching him perform 
in a play.  Who do i charge for my time in those cases?  If i do voluntary work 
and get no pay is my time worthless or priceless?  If i invite a newspaper 
reporter to report on a story on an event my business is involved in and linux 
"just happens" to get into the story then who do i charge for that?  Who do i 
pay for random acts of kindness people do for me during the day?
 
Please, keep your stick on the ice (thanks Landor)

Tom :)
