It was the cheapest recorder out there, but I should have brought it at Tesco who made them for their shops, Rather then that guy at the Computer fair.....

I wonder why the hell most scanners doesn't have a turn "off" switch, why the hell the damn thing must be on all the time?!?! It has all short of useless buttons like "scan and sent through email" but no a on-off switch.
My scanner consumes 4,5 Watts when is idle, that's 11664000 Joules consumed per month, equal to 3,24 kWh, meaning that is cost me 14 cents per month... that's ...that's OUTRAGEOUS!

[spectre]

They do though...don't they?

By the way couldn't you just have multiplied 4.5 watts by 24*30/1000 (number of hours per month) to find its kWh consumption --- instead of converting to J first

[tai]

They do though...don't they?

mine dosent, i just leave it unplugged if i'm not using it.

my old Canon S200 printer didnt have an on/off switch either

[Maverick]

They do though...don't they?

None of the scanners I have seen do to have one. I gotta unplugg it and plug it every time and it isn't amusing.

you questioning my math? how you dare?!? :P
*shurgs* it's the same thing, I only did a step more because it's easier that way since 1kWh are 3.6e6 Joules
and I hardly believe that 24*30/1000 are "the number of hours per month", you messed up the units somewhere, [kWh/Watt] is what I would use.

[Ray]

My scanner can be shut off. Meh.

Though, one thing does piss me off greatly. Well, earlier I was going to post about how my bloody internet keeps shutting off and, incidentlly, it shut off. (infact just seconds ago, it shut off again) Well, it seems to shut off when I am going one or in the middle of something important. Plus, we've had the cable people show up and fix it 3 times, but to no avail it stays the same.

Rant:

Robotics project >> make a robot.

How?

Teacher: "He's a photocopy of the design. Go do it." ... "What you compalining for? I can do that thing in an hour!"

Me: ((Of course you can, you're a teacher who learned SOMETHING from YOUR teacher!))

I've changed the design 3 times, darn thing doesn't work coz design in photocopy applies to top-quality materials available in US of A. There's three of us in the group and I'm the only one doing it. Then controller malfunctions (@!#), I ask group member A to fix it. Darn thing's taking 2 days to finish, when I originally just did the whole design AND actual controller in one day. Project is due in 2 days. Goddammit.

[spectre]

24*30 is the number of hours per month, divided by 1000 because it's kW, not simply W is all.

[Maverick]

@Spectre: ahhh I missed your reply ><

I'm curious, how did it go?

[kyubichan]

I made it work. And thank God the final project was given to the whole class, not just groups. We made a gripper out of popsicle sticks XD

[tOToroKid]

cute kitty...food at the sementary or however its spelled was great last night.also love the candles we get to melt down and running and jumping around with my sis trying to ake the plastic balloon we make go up up up!

[Chimasterwang]

That sounds like some crazy fun XD

[kyubichan]

That sounds like some crazy fun XD

Even crazier we were talking in English most of the time XD while blowing up plastic balloons

[Hawkeye]

Hawkeye shots of Randomly are a manquine with ZIP's face on it....

GOD DAMN YOU ZIP all high and Mighty

[kyubichan]

W00t! I have to rave about 'zis! *_* PACQUAIO DEFEATED MORALES IN THE THIRD ROUND BY TKO! Woooooooosh!

EDIT:

XD The best(or at least, most popular) boxer of our country vs one of Mexico's best. It's their third face-off. Pacquiaio lost the first one, won the rematch, and won this third match which breaks the tie.

[Hawkeye]

Guh? Who and what now?

[Chimasterwang]

See she told me on msn about this and i told her to turn the TV off XD

[Hawkeye]

ARGGGGGGG....

Time for a Pent up Rant........ Okay this isn't directed at all American only the bloody americans who buy and sell on E-Bay. Do they freaking want our Bussiness or not? I brought a USMC Digital MARPAT camo Head Wrap Bandanna off of Ebay a month ago from a US seller, Has it arrived yet Noo......

I usually give the guy the benifit of doult, but looking back yesterday the few complatines he had was either they had to wait for their items or they never received them. It was a week and a half after the original payment, Ebay informed me that the seller had asked for my contact details. He sent a E-mail saying he had mis addressed my item and it had been returned to him.
What he sent it by? Tramp steamer? I asked for Internation Airmail Postage so it shoudn't take this long....

Next time I will be taking my bussiness to a Hong Kong E-bayer... they know who to treat their customers... Good communications, fast shipping and willing to short out any problems

[kyubichan]

*huggles* Hawk. Well, you have learned your lesson. Asia roxx.

[Hawkeye]

Yes.... but their fake goods, which is the down side....
With American you can bet their 100% genuine.. not so cheap chinese knock off....

[kyubichan]

Try Singapore. It's the US in Asia. LOLz

[Hawkeye]

The Damn Expensive US of Asia... I do buy but they can be just as expensive some times...

[kyubichan]

XD So buy it from Singapore then. At least when the guy doesn't send it, you can hop on a plane to Singapore and look for him there. Try that in US, it'll be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

[Hawkeye]

No... I'll just send in Jake with an N2 bomb and wipe them out.....

[Tyne]

Did you check his feedback before bidding on something from him? It's unfortunate and I'm sorry this guy is screwing you over but if you stick to purchasing only from the seller's with good feedback then you can probably avoid this from happening again in the future... No matter the country they live in.

[Hawkeye]

Well he got good feedback at 97.8%, but he sold 50,000 items but he does have a few case where nothing turns up or is very late. I feel I'm going to another of these figures... it been a month, I got 15 days before I can try and reclaim my money from paypal

[Hawkeye]

Arrr,,,,,, FU*KING HELL!

God damn it,!@#$%^&*&^T%R$ Why didn't that asshole remind me a few hours before when I was at home, rather then out. I've fucking missed Part Two of stargate SG1 'the Quest'

[Hawkeye]

Every Single time, I bet it happens to you too.....

You get that piece of furntiure almost assembled and find a Part missing, or in my case the wrong part suppiled. I bet there a Funriture pack assembler out there laughing his head off...

[Lynk Former]

I threw the DVD remote on my bed, it bounced off into the air and straight into my glass of coke... so now it's all screwy, go figure.

Just wanted to let ya'll know how randomly stupid that was...

[Moelman]

That must have been a pretty perfect bounce.

[Blue Confusion]

Good aim, Lynk! *applauds*

[Stormfalcon]

Good going, Lynk!

That was about as random as a roll of the dice, as I say.

[darktruth]

Why oh why does there have to be SO MUCH readings each week for my uni course? I really dislike having to read 10+ back and front text-filled pages on each subject (and mind you they're text size is extremely small!), it gets extremely boring having to spend a minimum of 1 hour and a half just to get through one reading per subject.

[Stormfalcon]

Oh, god! It gets worse if you have trouble comprehending all that information.

[Maverick]

...and when you have only a weekend before examns

[Blue Confusion]

Swearing, and I'm not editing it.

I supposedly live in one of the 'safer' neighbourhoods. So imagine my delight when I'm chilling out in the front room with my dog, watching DVDs, and the window beside me explodes. If I'd been sitting two inches further left, I'd be wearing an eye patch right now instead of bandaids. And if my mother or grandmother had been sitting in that chair under the window, you'd be running for your life, you sorry little shit. What kind of sick fuck throws a bottle through someone's window? You could see me sitting there, and I heard you laugh as you legged it through the garden. I know what premeditated means. And guess what else I know, fuckmeister. Your friend, the one who you're getting 'revenge' for, was jailed for mugging someone at knife point. He got what he deserved. And if those kids across the street actually tell the truth, you're gonna get what you fucking deserve.

Now excuse me, my hand's bleeding again. Must still be glass in it. But venting really does help.

[Hawkeye]

fucking world going to shit isn't it.... there are some asshole out there that arn't worth the fucking time. This is the whole reason I always side on the Corprial punishment when I debate. The lesson these guys must learn is disapiline, ASBO? Get a fucking life Goverment they ain't worth the paper their printed on.....

Not enough Jail spaces you say? Built bigger better jails then. Quit giving each fucking prisioner their own TV, 5 star cooking, Their there for a reason. It a Prison not a freaking Hoilday Camp!

Blue.... ~If you want me to deal with it.... I'll take my M4 and bash the bastard brain out if you want otherwise I hoprfully let the police deal with it

[Blue Confusion]

Thanks for the offer, Hawk ^^ Shame there are no brains in that head to bash. Just imagine having to clean your M4 afterwards...

[Lynk Former]

*tries to cheer blue up*

[Blue Confusion]

Ah 4chan, the fount of eternal amusement Great article, Lynk!
