From Habr:

A U.S. programmer decided to diversify his life with gifts... his program takes a random word and searches for goods on Amazon for that keyword. If it’s a book, CD or DVD and it’s worth less than the budget it’s put in, then the program buys that product. The program runs in a cycle until you waste the entire budget or buy a certain amount of gifts. About the fact that he bought the script he will only find out when receiving the goods by mail.

I think it’s easier to have a wife. It will handle casual purchases better.

It is more difficult for the wife to program a budget limit.
