I had to use a fax when I ran a small business a couple of years ago. Everybody wants orders and stuff in writing but can't be bothered to print from email or whatever (I don't know, maybe desk people have no printer access or have no clue?) Glad I have one now, because getting out of poo poo and dealing with the crap and corporations etc (ie, bank, health insurance etc), has to be all in writing. It's a 70c stamp to send a letter, or I just replug the fax machine in and send a fax (often to a toll free number), so I choose fax.

Yeah, I know. Some businesses could do it, others wouldn't. I have no idea why, different departments or level or whatever deal with email and they don't have printer access in some businesses? Who knows. the fax is holy and equal to posted mail in some circles, while email means poo poo to them sometimes.

It's a Texas shop. 1) Are we sure the artillery piece was not on the truck when he traded it in? 2) Has the owner seen this image? If so, is he pissed enough that he's on the next flight to Iraq with the arsenal we know he owns to take his truck back? I'd like to think so.

You also don't have to worry about format and such; What you send is what they get. Getting the confirmation page printed off the fax is pretty much proof that the other end got it. Horrible ev stuff: saw one of these for the first time the other day.  It is astoundingly ugly. It was definitely a BMW because it was parked across two handicap parking spots for absolutely no reason.

Fax-quitting was kind of all the rage back then. I had one guy use a fax machine at our warehouse to quit. He taped two pieces of paper together and then when it was halfway fed through he taped the other ends together so it just kept looping. He effectively tied up the fax line for something like 9 hours before somebody at the warehouse tried to use that machine and found his handiwork. Another one was seven full page letters. First letter was an F.

Fo3 posted:Yeah, I know. Some businesses could do it, others wouldn't. I routinely encounter people in the professional world who do not understand the difference between a browser and https://www.google.com. Hell, my parents still refuse to understand that you don't have to Google search everything you want to find on the internet, if you already know the address. They'll go to google.com first, and then type that bad boy into the search box instead of the address bar. My mother is still working as a bookkeeper, and my father only retired from his career a few months ago. I had to submit receipts for travel-related reimbursement at a previous job, which I did with some scanning software on my phone. I asked the travel contact if I should send them as jpegs, or convert them to pdfs first, and she replied that she could only accept scans if they were embedded in a word document.  Never underestimate the ability of people to cling to obsolete technology or processes because learning a new, faster method would impinge on their FarmVille time in the office.

When this came out I thought it almost looked like a modern Isetta (minus that whole 'cheap+small' thing). Then after watching a video of some guy restoring an actual Isetta, no, it's just vomit on wheels. I guess the body is a shell that goes over the self-contained powertrain+frame so if they put someone blessed with the gift of sight on the project they can plop something decent on there. redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 16:03 on Dec 17, 2014 |

Hah, we have to raise the reimbursement form in SAP and then print it out, sign it, staple all the receipts to it, carry it upstairs and hand it to finance who will go back into SAP to approve/deny the claim. For reasons nobody knows the form gets 'Simulation' printed across the top when you print it.

The styling is absolutely weird, with random shapes and differently colored panels for no apparent reason... but it has a weird almost sci-fi aesthetic that I can't help but like. I fully understand why some people find it ugly, though. And I suspect it won't age too well.

This is so nerdy, but I swear the i3 looks exactly like a car being advertised in the last Deus Ex game and make the association every time I see it. It's like somebody traced it.
