800/768 ?? where did that come from ??
its 1024X768.. or 800X600 He was saying that from XGA to WXGA, the bigger change is in width; he set up a ratio between the widths of WXGA and XGA, and the heights of WXGA and XGA. That's where 800/768 comes from.
License plates allow you to be identified driving a registered vehicle in public. It's mere convenience that keeps us from wanting to unscrew them every time we drive onto private property (e.g., a parking lot or driveway). The government is saying, "You drive on our roads, you follow our rules". Fair enough, right? It's the government requirement of these laser printer codes that's an invasion of privacy. Maybe a fair (albeit insane) requirement would be that any documents posted in public be encoded with the dots.
What's that quote by Ben Franklin or David Hume or Richard Jackson or somebody? "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
