  6. paperweight? on Finding a Reliable Laser Printer? · · Score: 0, Troll

    paperweight? fuck you. my 1100 works fine since 2001, printing out at least 10 pages every day, and has absolutely no problems with multifeeding or anything. and to prove how much it rules, I took it apart and re assemblied it. i got 4 extra screws in the process. no idea where these should go, but the machine still prints.
    I even sneaked a peek into the optical unit. so simple and yet so effective.
    it only multifeeds if I feed it with paper right out of the box. If I ventilate the paper, like the manual says (as anyone who works with printers should), it prints great. I even refilled the original cartridge. twice already.

  8. Americans on FBI Investigating Laser Beams Pointed at Aircraft · · Score: 1

    Man I was reading all this and i think, how can you americans live in the most powerful country in the world and be such motherfucking pieces of cunts? Damn, first of all you have to solve all those fucking racism issues inside your country, and not spend all that fucking money chasing kids with laser pointers.
    The worst is, that the slashdot reader is not just average joe. And even then most of the posts treat the lasers issue as a FUCKING REAL ISSUE, when it's just NOTHING. You can't even say "bomb" in an airport or loiter around fucking new york city without going to jail. And the saddest thing is, one of your fucking presidents was the one who said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself".
    How can you live in a country where any officer has every right to put a fucking gun on your face for no reason? Man your country has some FUCKING SERIOUS ISSUES.

    let me quote an interesting song, by an american band.

    Don't wanna be an American idiot.
    Don't want a nation under the new mania.
    And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
    The subliminal mind fuck America.

    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alienation.
    Everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.

    Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
    I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
    Now everybody do the propaganda.
    And sing along in the age of paranoia.

    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alienation.
    Everything isn't meant to be okay.
    Television dreams of tomorrow.
    We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
    For that's enough to argue.

    Don't wanna be an American idiot.
    One nation controlled by the media.
    Information age of hysteria.
    It's calling out to idiot America.

    Welcome to a new kind of tension.
    All across the alienation.
    Everything isn't meant to be okay.

    PVC bender: $300+ Hand operated 3/4" EMT bender: $50 I also mentioned using multiple smaller conduits as opposed to one big one, to prevent them from interfering with each other.

    just get some fucking pre molded curves, damn it! or if you insist in bending for yourself, heres teh trick: fill the pvc pipe with SAND and heat it on the range, or a heat gun if you like, then, bend while rotating. sand will prevent it from crushing. after 2 or 3 bends you will get good at it and wont spend money in a machine that you would probably use 2 times. of course if you're a pro, you need the pvc bender.

    say what? my chaintech fx5200 non-ultra came with a fucking whining little fan, which drove me mad. i installed a regular heatsink and i could have fried an egg on it. so i took the fucking AMD boxed cooler from an athlon 1700 and bolted it to the mounting holes in the board. the fan is running at 5vdc instead of 12v so it spins slowly and it's just warm to the touch. i now have lost 3 valuable PCI slots because of the size of the fan. i don't know how i'm gonna fit the scsi controller, the audigy2 and the 3c905-TX because of a stupid design issue. why the fuck don't they mount the GPU on top, with all that dead space between the CPU and the boards?

    In argentina you get $25 per year, and the customs tax are around 50% for electronics, and CDs and books are free. So I went by car to Paraguay once and declared "a car stereo" (no serial nbr) along with my belongings. It was a useless 8-track i bought for $2. So I went to paraguay and got myself a new Pioneer car stereo with cassette player (it was 1989!) and threw the old one out the window. When I got to my country, the inspector said "you didn't forget to declare that car stereo, did you?" and i said "nope. here's the declaration stuff". The guy gave me a serious look and i just looked at him. He let me pass, not very convinced ;).
