@JaredBusch knife is ridiculous, of course. Laser is actually an acronym, though. It's the pronunciation that is wrong, if anything.
Right, but now that it has been accepted as a word, not just an acronym, and defined as a
zsound, it should be spelled appropriately. -
I was going to say that taser was much worse, why is that an s, but it turns out that that is an acronym for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle - just a bad pronunciation and subsequent modification into a common word as well.

Me either. Totally new to me.

So just left a new client's office. They paid $500 for some Indian scam company to do their IT for 2 years. There was a file on the desktop called scan.bat that when run essentially echoed different percents complete and then at the end echoed you have 5823 issues that need to be resolved (along with some other junk). There was another batch file called reset that added and removed a bunch of registries and deleted some files.

Wow - so what did they say when you wanted $500 a month or more?

Yeah, most likely this would not be a client I want for this reason.
I mean I will give them a chance, but if they try to cheap out like this, they will not likely pay my bill.

I didn't even quote anything. I just charged them for the time I was there and promptly ran away.

That's, um, great. How did they take the news that they had been scammed?
-
Wasting my time trying to file a phishing complaint with GoDaddy.

Sounds like fun. It came from their servers?

They just kind of brushed it off. But if I would have charged them $500 they would have complained and never paid.

Did you not charge them at all?

No I did. I did some other work, but I didn't charge them very much.
