Up the ante a little. Demand the persons name and phone number, and who they are calling for. They are required to tell you.
Not only are they required to put you on their 'No Call' list, but if you request it they are required to send you a written copy of their policy for dealing with no call requests.
It really gets their attention when they have to spend money having someone make a copy, put it in an envelope, address it and affix postage.
If you log it and they call you again they are liable to you for damages. Seems there was a lawyer that made a lot of pocket change that way at a few hundred $ a call.
A few years ago when I was using windows there was a freeware program that would log the calls and the details, and provide popup boxes with chapter and verse of the applicable federal laws that you could quote to the caller. One of the few things I miss from windows!
The obvious solution to the danger of letting this operate unattended is to take the blades off!
Sears, and probably others, sell a lawnmower using nylon string trimmer blades.
You might even be able to adapt a normal string trimmer for this.
I remember my first programmable calculator, an HP-67, programmable, card reader for storage! Maybe its in my genes, but RPN seemed very natural to me. Last time I tried to use it I found that the card drive wheel had turned to gunk. I just found the HP Museum site with repair info.

I may get that thing running again.
By the way,/. needs a script to filter out posts with screens of empty lines in them. Some jerks can be so annoying.
As a matter of fact, its used in the space station to recycle CO2 and H2 into H2O. The methane is vented into space.

Given the general level of human intelligence and the way politics work, I think I can glimpse the future...
SUVs and the beloved 426s will be popular until the MidEast decides to truly put the screws to us,
and I think the poster sees the answer. We will probably be doing a lot more walking.
And I dont even want to explore his girlfriends ob-gyn problems, but it sounds like she really needs to see a doctor.

Duh, think about it....

Calling it a parody is very generous. However, in its favor, it loads in about 10% of the time of Slashdot.
