Comment 1294 for bug 1

"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)
