@purplephish20 I use http://www.easyduplicatefinder.com/ for getting rid of dupes.

@purplephish20 "Using this product means we own your soul and are allowed to sell it to the devil at our own wish."
-
@omni A company in England actually put that in their EULA to see how many souls they could harvest.
-
@ceruleanspark Interesting. I figure they harvested a lot?
-
@omni @ceruleanspark This company was Gamestation, actually put it in the smallprint that buying off them online resigns your ownership of your mortal soul
-
@purplephish20 I know, I just figured that someone who doesn't live in england probably wouldn't care about the specifics.
-
@omni I think they returned the souls and gave out coupons. I'm pretty sure it was little more than a scheme to give out the coupons to encourage people to make purchases they might not otherwise have made.
-
@ceruleanspark it was announced as a scheme to get people to read more carefully about what they do online, that people should read the smallprint
-
@purplephish20 I'm sure drawing more people into their languishing online store was a /total coincidence/.
-
@ceruleanspark I'm sure, clever marketing, considering the company almost went under a while back
-
@purplephish20 They did go under. Gamestation as a brand is scheduled to cease to be within a couple of months. I got an email saying my reward points were being moved over to Game's scheme. The people I feel really bad for are the staff. It's not their fault their management is retarded, but it's not the management who're gonna take the fall.
-
@ceruleanspark oh yeah, all those switchovers, all being the same company, like half of the "Game" stores in the UK have gone, with all surviving gamestations becoming Game. There were two game stores in meadowhall, only a few yards from each other, I found it funny when I got an automated email saying "we're sorry to say your nearest game store is closing, but dont worry, your new nearest store is located right here...." ten feet further southwest of where I live

@purplephish20 Comet is next up. They're in administration now. Same problem, even.
-
@ceruleanspark yep, annoyed about that one. I love comet, they're less clueless in there it seems than PC world and currys. Got my laptop from them
-
@purplephish20 They're all pretty terrible around here. Also, next to eachother.
