Your friend is clearly a hoarder. 20TB is absurd for a private collection of unimportant media. Instead of looking for ways to back up the Library of Congress, your friend could seek counseling to work through his attachment issues.
I flew without any luggage with a one-way ticket and was "randomly selected" each of the 4 checkpoints I passed through. When I bought my last set of tickets, the vendor admitted to me that the extended search is authorized right on the ticket itself.
The searches were for metal. Are there no plastic projectiile weapons?

being a resident of Ohio, I don't think I would see good returns on the "deposit rebated across use", but thanks for calling me out on not being able to "do the calculus". way to instinctually sense my lack of advanced mathematics knowledge ; )
As I said, the initial fees just to become a member of the ZipCar club is, imo, needlessly prohibitive. If they really wanted to appeal to people with the kind of needs that you describe, the membership charge would be significantly less.
They didn't get my business for a reason.
Obviously I could have gone with some other rental company, but they were all to expensive for me at the time.
The answer is no. I wanted to use a ZipCar back in March to get from Boston to a little town about 4 hours to the west. They wanted like $50 just to sign up to use their service (a one year membership), plus all the fees for taking the vehicle that day for 12 hours and driving it hundreds and hundreds of miles.
They charge you way too much for convenience. It's a shame, because I was quite excited to use their service, but it was just too expensive. I ended up missing a Philip Glass concert and was quite bummed.
You'd think having no office or desk would save money. What the hell is their target demographic, anyway?

I have a friend who was Steve Lisberger's son's room-mate. Thought you might enjoy this link to a music video that he made for Daft Punk's song "Short Circuit". http://moneydick.com/videos/kitaro_-_shortcircuit_ daft_punk.mov
