"So, uh, I heard your computer wouldn't start because it's missing a hard drive. This is very common in our neighborhood. You're lucky though, I happen to be fully bonded and certified at returning computers without hard drives to their normal working states ... "
Michael Scott could see through that.
My work here is dung.
... they tell you that they can retrieve the files that you had on the hard-drive that was just stolen from your office.
/facepalm
Oh god, that woman is John Romero!
If it weren't for those meddling kids!!!!
A Sunday School teacher asks a boy where Jesus was born. The boy answers "Allentown." The teacher corrects him, "No, it was Bethlehem." The boy replies, "Well, I knew it was some place along Rt. 22"
Reminds me of the (somewhat) local story I read this morning. A man shop lifted a bunch of clothes from a department store, on is way out he stopped at the front desk to fill out a job application. Sure enough he listed his real information. When the cops showed up he was busy putting away all the stuff he had just walked out with.
He beeped on his way through the door but still was allowed to leave (those things beep so often most employees probably ignore them now). If he didn't give them his personal information, he probably would've gotten away with it.
"Action without philosophy is a lethal weapon; philosophy without action is worthless."
He had the right idea, but got the scale wrong.
Had he stolen 1 MILLION hard drives and then demanded $2000 each to put them back, he would be "too big to fail" and then he would just have to give everyone a $1 off coupon on their next HD install.
He could have done worse though. Had he hacked in and disabled the drive remotely, he would be up for a MUCH longer sentence.
If you look at another of his profiles, it has a picture of his company's logo.
I think I know what the problem is.... The mouse, is connected to the monitor.

I'm willing to consult to him on his business model. I'll charge him $2000 a week.
no Phase 5: getting butt-raped in jail by tito
Dear AskSlashdot:
I am planning on stealing Hordware/software/company secrets/customers from my company/boss/girlfriend(mother)/government, but I don't want to get caught because that's bad. What's my best course of action and is there anything I should look out for?
Sometimes, life itself is sarcasm...
Why go to Bird-In-Hand when you can go through Intercourse to get to Paradise? Too close to Blue Ball?
Your brain is not a computer.
He was also charged with sexual assualt, of himself, because when they picked him up he was looking at porn.
No, that was consentful by way of a handshake agreement.
Blank until
I'm ruined...
