Software and BlackJack look a lot alike:

   pay_per_hour = (rate_of_win * size_of_bet * bets_per_hr) / #_programmers
Assuming:
	rate_of_win = .05         (5%)
	size_of_bet = $100,000    (UNIX software source license fee)
	bets_per_hr = 10          (How fast can I sell them?)
        #_programmers = 1         (to maintain a UNIX...)

gives a pay_per_hour of: $50

All things considered, BlackJack is much more fun.
