"Where's the Van Halen?"
Guitar Hero II
"Where's the Bon Jovi?"
Got me there.
"Where's the GUNS AND ROSES?!?!?!"
Again, Guitar Hero II.
(me wonders if you've ever played either Guitar Hero)
It might be splitting hairs, but I find this slightly hard to believe. A cashier (known as REP1 when I worked for BB back in 1999) at the end of the day is (was? probably still is..) required to make a photo-copy of every credit card receipt at the end of their shift. This is known as sorting your 'media file'. To be honest, I don't remember exactly what we did with them. I think they all went into the same folder, anyhow. But you needed a photocopy, nonetheless.
Any cashier (except for GENUINE dumbasses. with all due respect, you very well may be talking about one of those) who is going to try to pull this kind of scam isn't going to copy it all down in front of the customer, especially when they know full well that they have a infinitely better opportunity to obtain the information under far, far less supervision.
I know first-hand of a former Best Buy employee doing just this. At the end of his shift, while sorting his media file, he would adjust the copymachine to produce 2 copies for everything, instead of just one. Seeing as how he wasn't bright enough to NOT steal/use credit info, he got himself arrested for, of all things, ordering TONS of shit to his OWN ADDRESS. He deserved every minute of the 9 months of inhouse arrest the judge threw at him.
My condensed point is: even a BB employee dumb enough to want to copy down credit card information couldn't POSSIBLY be dumb enough to overlook the fact that they are going to be using that copy machine at the end of the day. Besides, the camera in the cash+carry office aren't monitored in real time, unlike the ones on the sales floor (granted, an idiot in a yellow bestbuy shirt is a poor excuse for theft prevention).
I hope my comments/thoughts aren't as jumbled as I believe they might be. I've been awake for 24 hours straight, but I wanted to share this all for no special reason.
Cheers.
wow. you really tried to throw in every joke you could think of, huh? instead of three really lame jokes, you should have concentrated on a single half-way decent one.
Actually, the only way to get mod points is by being a complete fucking loser. Genuinely funny things are not permitted here. That's why my karma is TERRIBLE. There goes my last (2nd) permitted post in 24 hours! YAY!
cmon, what does canada know about porn? who wants to pay $4 ($.50 US) to see porn where everyone has a thick black moustache, french accent, and pale skin, eh?
Oh please, if there were any chance that this might cure the common cold, this muthafucka would be dead before reporting about it, killed by NyQuil overdose.
Obviously neither of the parents went to High School as a fat kid.
Kidnap all of my children at your leisure [as soon as I have any], I ain't NEVER going back to fat. Of course, the fact that I'm no longer fat hasn't really had much of an effect on this whole 'having children thing' process.
If companies can't handle this before opening their doors, virtual or otherwise, then that's a problem on their end. It shouldn't be the end-user's monetary problem that they no longer want the service, regardless of the difficulty endured by the company. Granted, some people can take advantage of this, but they are likely a minority of the overall userbase. Either way, charging to cancel a flat reoccuring-rate monthly service charge is retarded, unless you are a mobile carrier, in which case morals don't even come into play.
Who the fuck wrote this post, monkeys on typewriters? HOOK UP SOME GRAMMATICAL SKILZ0RS, BEEOTCH! I tried to read the article header on the front page of/., but I had to bring in a 14-year old myspace expert to translate the damn fine punctuation.
i'm not worried. i heard Bush himself did all of the penwork. i'm willing to bet he used a yellow highlighter, though. he's not the smartest president we've had in 6 years.
Of course dumbass 14 year-olds have strong passwords, not a SINGLE word in their vocabulary is likely to be found within TEN FEET of a brute-force dictionary.
I guess we've found one of the benefits to spelling like a goddamn retard.

Sounds to me like you've just never seen The Princess Bride.

whoever marked this TROLL needs to go buy a fucking sense of humor.
To accuse a Christian of being a sheep is not an insult.
However, to accuse a sheep of being a Christian....
ehh. someone point this motherfucker at the whitehouse, please.
Please, Sir, don't refer to rap as music. Zappa would be roll over in his grave.
I am as stoned as I think you are, and I think you're very stoned, but only because I am.
YEAAAAH.

Don't thank Boston, thank the retards who run it. I just live there.

Oh, the irony. Look around, buddy. You're there already.

One day they add interactive features to these mobile-pr0n clips, and no sooner will Jack Thompson feel the need to protect me from myself.

It's not just you, man, so there's no need to be so vain. Slasdot is SWARMING with humorless fucking retards. No offense to retards, of course.

So, Indiana Jones' father was 12 when Indiana Jones was born... I didn't realize they were black.
