# if we donate
a small amount of money every month on DD, does that count as donating for the purposes of getting icons? it feels a bit like cheating...
(I helped save b3ta! Spoon, Fri 16 May 2003, 13:04, archived)
# i give some every month
it probably works out more than i'd pay in one go
(mountainloz i want a bulldog/Shih Tzu cross breed, Fri 16 May 2003, 13:06, archived)
# i do too
can't remember how much at the moment

(edit) so should i have new icons then?
(I helped save b3ta! Spoon, Fri 16 May 2003, 13:07, archived)
# I give
two quid a month - will probably bump that up to a fiver tonight though. Magazines seem to cost about a fiver, and b3ta's way better than any magazine!

edit - just done that. Woo to interweb banking!

# I've just tried to
but apparently I only have £7.31 to last me until payday :-(
I guess I'm not doing anything for the next 2 weeks then...

# it's lovely when people subscribe
the only thing is - if it's £1 or $1 or something it costs us alot to process. Some errm, person gave us 1p. We 'made a loss' on that, which was kind of them.

# What's
a good minimum subscription then?

# come on... think of it relatively
entertainment at any time of the day or night!
a packet of fags is 4.60, a pint is about 2.70 nowadays, a magazine is a fiver.

# *thinks*
I don't smoke
I drink in cheaper pubs than that
The mags I buy don't cost more'n £3

# if it's paypal we offer £2 £5 and £10
so i guess the same applies to DD... we really appreciate everything we get - it's just you can see if it's frustrating when people try and give us money and it all disappears on processing.

# A freind did a paypal donation on my behalf last night

# Is this where
I wish I'd gotten around to setting up my direct debit? I've got to go donate by hand now :-/

BTW, re: that code timing thing earlier? Perl may be slow, but it sure is neat...
$s=time;while($x<4E8){$x++;}die(time-$s);

Edit: 598 Seconds on my box if anyone cares

Maybe you want pre tags on that?
edit - ah, you fixed it

# perl rocks!
i haven't used it for ages though so i've forgotten it all
(I helped save b3ta! Spoon, Fri 16 May 2003, 13:06, archived)
# thing is though,
at 41 characters it feels a little bloated... I can get it down to 39 characters with

$s=time;for(0..4E8){$x++;}die(time-$s);

Can anyone do it shorter?
