The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

In fairness some buggers print their emails

I once wrote code for an elderly researcher who would only review code as a hard copy. I'd bring him stacks of paper and he'd get going with his pen and highlighter. And I'll grant that the resolution is normally higher on paper than on most displays. I'm viewing this on a laptop screen that's about 200 ppi. A laser printer is probably printing at a minimum of 300 dpi, maybe 600 or 1200 dpi.

I still think that the few people reading things in print are the exception that proves the rule, though.

In the legal field, a lot is still 100% paper. And not just for the older people.
