The grocery stores near by have all been installing self regsters - where you can go and scan your own groceries and pay - No cashier needed. The other day all the machines were down and I could see the windows active desktop running in the background...

Scary

The next windows virus makes all Beer Half price.....:banana:

The next windows virus makes all Beer Half price.....:banana:yeah, i was knoticing that a while back and it made me think. "what if you were underage and wanted to buy some beer?" "Do you just pay and leave?" interesting....... So we tried it and when you ring up something with an age restriction, then the little light thingey goes off and the attendant has to come over and verify it for you. darn, I guess they were two steps ahead of me.:hammer:
