    No luck trying to read the original french version:

    With Harper illegally in charge, I'd bet Canada is pretty fucked up too.

    You want a computer monitor.

    Wouldn't it be a little hard to get your shark past the security checks?

    You'll only see those kinds of errors on Slqshdot.

  9. They take photos? on USPS Logs All Snail Mail For Law Enforcement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As long as it's only the exterior of the boxes, I don't care.
    As long as they don't X-ray packages (could damage sensitive electronics, perhaps?), I don't care.
    As long as they don't open up the packages (sensitive electronics and static discharges don't mix), I don't care.

    They can take photos of the boxes from my eBay wins, I don't care.

    I'd have an easier time understanding english from India than amurikan from Texas.

  14. Re:Congrats on Launch of India's First Navigation Satellite Successful · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yesterday, I read about a failed launch from Russia.
    Today, I read about a successful launch from India.

    I'm sure there's a "in Soviet Russia" mixed in with an "India tech support" joke in there somewhere.

    Dear AC, your whole post is pointless because you made a wrong assumption:

    * Mr. Hasselhoff actually is talented, but this goes unnoticed in his own country.

    He's also unnoticed in Canada, so the rest of your rant is pointless.

    Also, the Invisible Pink Unicorn is stronger than your so-called Beast, so we have nothing to worry about.

  16. Re:I so relate to this, I switched to Laser cuttin on Breaking Up With MakerBot · · Score: 1

    I agree with AC, laser cutters are expensive. Which model did you buy, from which company and at what price?

  17. Re:Easy to use as an Inkjet? on Breaking Up With MakerBot · · Score: 1

    I love old printers. The older the better, because the older ones are a good source of 8mm or even 10mm smooth rods and NEMA17 stepper motors to make 3D printers.

    I'm getting an old HP DeskJet 500 and Apple ImageWriter II in a few hours, can't wait to rip them apart for spare parts. The rest will go to the local electronics recycling center.

  18. Re:Humans cannot multitask on AOC's 21:9 Format, 29" IPS Display Put To the Test At 2560x1080 · · Score: 1

    But it is faster to switch our attention between two tasks if the two programs are side-by-side than by pressing ALT+TAB to switch between them.

  19. Re:More lines ! on AOC's 21:9 Format, 29" IPS Display Put To the Test At 2560x1080 · · Score: 1

    VGA is 480p, NTSC is 525i and PAL is 625i. And it hasn't been quite 30 years yet since VGA was the display hardware first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987.

    But yeah, there hasn't been much progress on that front especially when compared to CPUs, GPUs, RAM, hard drives and hardware interfaces.

  20. Re:should of killed the DRM system on Ubisoft Hacked, Account Data Compromised · · Score: 1

    The "b" tag has been deprecated in favour of "strong". It's about putting structure and meaning on your content, not making text "bold".
