Have you wished recently that you could rent out something instead of buying it? Renting out stuff makes sense actually, for example, looking for a power tool to chop down a tree in your backyard, but don’t want to buy one since you only need it for a day?
Or maybe you’re having a special birthday party and you want to record it, but can’t afford to buy a new digital video camcorder? Or what if you’re planning a road trip to New York and you want to have your own parking space available for an entire week?

Are you looking for a quick way to detect whether one of your Yahoo Messenger buddies is ACTUALLY offline or just Invisible? Apparently lots of people would like to know how to detect whether someone is invisible or not! I only realized this because I’ve been asked 10 times! I’m still not sure why it would matter because OBIVOUSLY your buddy doesn’t want to talk to you otherwise they would not be invisible!
But either way, I guess some people just need to know for the sake of knowing (especially guys and gals who want to know whether someone is avoiding them).
