Most of it ends up in the pan and plate, though

Yeah. But, supposedly, in a free market, if there's demand for it (a payment processor that accepts porn), there would be supply. Someone would come up with a company devoted to just that.

mcdevilkiller··on FreeBSD Core Team Statement on FreeBSD Development Processes
Holy shit, that's atrocious!
