    Ok then use your reprap to print a correction lens sand and polish it, then take a photo from that angle with the right lens view and convert it to a 1200 dpi transparency that you put in front of a diffuser that has a color corrected led light source to compensate for it.

    That does not sound as funny as taping a photo.

    "Wake me up when there is 25%+ unemployment and breadlines."

    You are a head in the sand idiot, no wait. that is a insult to idiots, you are simply a dip-shit.

    Unemployment figure is ONLY those currently receiving unemployment insurance. everyone else is not counted, so if you ran out your unemployment you are no longer counted.

    I can post about 800 more links to the real numbers, but I assume you can use google instead of only getting your news from Fox News.

    As for bread lines.... They exist you idiot, maybe if you were not running around in your Saab with blinders on you would see them. Millions use Food trucks and food aid every week to get food for their families. Most run out of food before they run out of people standing in line. They do this at low income areas not next to your Starbucks where you get your half Decaf latte every morning. It's also called "food stamps" but you seem to be far too uneducated to know what that is. No it's not used for mailing food. Food stamp use is at record high levels, also many families in states that do not have food stamps use Food aid trucks.

Bread went from $0.99 a loaf to $1.25 a loaf, Milk up almost 55%, Meat up 35%, etc... Or are you claiming that is not happening either?

    "Some people prefer the portability of a 7" tablet."

    Until they try to read their first educational or technical book on it. Then they hate it.

    7" is great for novels and recreational reading, it's utter crap for technical manuals, documents, magazines, and Textbooks. I have an iPad and a KindleDX and those are far,far,FAR, superior to any 7" reader made for any document that is not a paperback novel.

    I personally want a 12" reader that has a 8.5" X11" screen.

    when I lived in chicago we solved that one. every friday night 2 of my neighbors and I would sit out on the porch with a gardenhose and a trigger nozzle. Nothing stops idiots like having 3 people hose them down as they walk by.

    IT took only 3 weeks of this and suddenly we did not have the problem anymore. Which sucked, because it was a lot of fun drinking on the porch and hosing down idiots.
