Organize other people's music/porn/etc collections. Either remotely or they ship you the hard drive and you ship it back when done.

Like, I have a couple hundred GB of pony porn that needs duplicates removed and everything filed into subfolders by character. I don't have time to do it myself and I'm not at all embarrased with you seeing it all. There might nkt be many people like me though. Do market research.

Not trying to kill the other guy's idea, but you can use Auslogics Duplicate File Finder (free: http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/duplicate-file-finder/ ), scan so it ignores file name, limit it to specific folders and/or file types, files over X size, let it run, and automatically delete all the duplicates. The only downside is, this automated way won't let you choose which folders to keep the files in (there is a way, but it's nowhere near as automatic).

This may not be an idea suitable for NEETs, but I'm thinking about starting up a chain of motels/rest stops with charging ports for electric cars, since those things have a range of only about 300 miles. Of course, I'd have to wait until electric cars become more prevalent and for their ranges to be more suitable for long trips in order for this idea to be viable.

My business idea is to get hired by a company with faked credentials and a phony resume and spend all my time doing the following:

2) switching the coffee in the break room with decaf
3) sending people memegenerator'd cats every day
4) switching the company website to a wordpress blog
5) propping the back door open so that raccoons and squirrels can get into the inventory
6) sell stolen office supplies, buy greyhound bus ticket to Gainesville

HTML pages are literally just word documents with some code thrown in. CSS and jquery just add designs.
Javascript, PHP, and database integration are the only real iffy parts, they're what you need to make your pages very interactive.


>A week
Obviously an exaggeration. Great games could take months to make. But once you get started, you can recycle code to shit out games way faster. $500-800 per game isn't much but depending on the deal with the buyer, you can still gain revenue based on the game's success.

I've been toying around with the idea of starting a QA company for video games or something and employing autistic/"NEETs" and what have you, but I've never really gone beyond the "this sounds like a neat idea" stage. I'm sure a lot of companies already have people that do that either in-house or with another company, so I'm not even sure it would work out. Plus, with the factor that I'd have people from quite a few places in the US (or abroad) doing it, I don't know how well that would work. Probably not very well, honestly.

I mean, most of them fill captchas non stop, while writing stupid stuff, and that is instant profit.

Some others, happen to have valuable ideas, that generate additional income, if developped, or might even solve governance, scientific, computational, and other kind of problems that benefit the whole, generating, passively, even more income.

Essentially this place can be used as a think tank...

Since authorship, is normally unatributed, it means a group of someones get to have an extremely profitable, or knowledgeable life.

The most twisted thing about it, is it relies on one of the natural impuses of mankind, it's need of sociability, and exploits it, in the psyche of, allegedly, the smartest individuals: semi-autists.

Me too. I love sorting my pictures in their appropriate folders and I sometimes do it to calm me down. If I had some instructions on where people wanted their files to go I would happily do it for free, getting paid is even better.

I mean, when I specifically set out for duplicates I change the sorting parameters and look before changing it back to by name. I also like saving some duplicates because I also have categories that can contain the same picture as a more specific folder, but I have a ton of material saved so it's easy to forget about particular images, or sometimes I only want to use the more broad category of a folder. A program that finds all the duplicates doesn't always work well with that system because it searches for everything remotely similar all throughout my PC.

That's good, if you like your method you should stick to it. I would probably develop a method for finding duplicates myself, but I feel it would be in vain since I would probably end up downloading the same file again many months later after forgetting about it. I should spend more time organizing my pictures instead of browsing the internet for new ones so I can better avoid duplicates in the future.
