There actually is such a thing. You pay a flat fee, take the DVD home for as long as you want, and then when you're done with it you bring it back, and they actually give you money back for it. Or store credit, which is usually a little more. You can use that store credit toward the "rental" of another DVD, and the process repeats.

They call them "used DVD stores". Sometimes "thrift shops" or "pawn shops".

It actually used to be you could rent software that way (late 80's/early 90's). You'd pick the software you wanted, then place a "deposit" equal to the purchase price of the software. If you kept it then they treated it as a sale, or if you brought it back you got part of your deposit back.

Then they should get used to being wrong.

About 2-3 days before the election he switched Florida from light pink to light blue.

Please stop doing what my country's government tells you. It only encourages them.

It's called proof of concept.

True, but most people don't come with "instant wireless death button" enabled.

And it takes a murderer to do it.

No, in this case it takes a script kiddie.

Throw a belt sander in the toilet, then turn it on and leave it.

You'll note that it does a lot of noisy grinding, though achieving very little of value, while being shat upon at random. It will continue doing this until it burns out.

This is the life of a software tester.

Seven of the nations that rank "more free" than the United States are former Soviet bloc states.

A. They probably picked the most anti-TSA guy in the Senate...
B. ...who is the son of the most anti-TSA guy in the House of Representatives...
C. ...and sits on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security.

Oops?

I know they know what "we'll vote you out of office" means.

US Customs has been moved under Homeland Security.

I'm actually quite happy to put them in spam. If there is, for instance, a university that some kid who has no business in university (I'm looking at you, "Cor Ey", and if by some small chance you are, in fact, reading this you are, in fact, an idiot) signs up for with a bogus address, and they don't send a fucking confirmation link, they deserve to have their outgoing emails marked as spam.

Same goes for cable bills, etc. The people who's responsibility it was to make sure those emails don't get to me are... not me. Maybe if someone's cable gets cut off for nonpayment because their bills went into the spam folder, instead of the snail mail box as God and Ben Franklin intended, they'll work harder at getting their own fucking email address right.

If it's a personal email, I mail them back and let them know they've got the wrong guy. If it's some web site that they've signed up for, I'll try to log in and leave a comment to their profile. I've gone as far as poked around for phone numbers and called and texted them (that freaks people out, but... not my problem). I'll also often change the email to "not(address)@(domain)" and even sometimes randomize the password.

Some of the no reply ones I've marked as spam, and there's at least a couple of people (individuals) who I've emailed back more than once and told them I'm not their guy. No response, and continued emails. Those go into the spam folder also.

That was my immediate thought. It's a lot faster to save off programs using that than reading them out into a cassette player!

Is there an RPG that has a soap and water class?
