  • geekchic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+178I notice that it states that this is a US specification toilet roll.

    Do domestic toilet rolls come in different sizes depending on where you live?
  • p0tent1al, on 10/19/2007, -18/+166Leave Britney ALOOOONE
  • dtd00d, on 10/10/2007, -3/+115I'd use it for printing out other crap.
  • Dirtynoodle111, on 10/11/2007, -13/+108The image was manipulated using GIMP® software.
  • EXTER, on 10/11/2007, -0/+86It's true, i checked it and it was there (version 2.2.13)
  • MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -25/+92I'm sure the only thing a GIMP user would use that template for is flattening a Microsoft logo on it.
  • ArmchairAthlete, on 10/10/2007, -6/+61I imagine our TP in the US is wider to accommodate our fat asses.
  • JacNet, on 10/10/2007, -3/+58Looks like a load of ***** to me.
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -6/+60Yes, they used it to reprint the Constitution in the White House Restrooms.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+48It's a legit option. Toilet paper is the new medium of choice in advertising:

  • InetRoadkill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+41So how do you feed the TP into the ink jet printer? Should I get the super absorbent type, quilted type, or the heavy duty stuff?
  • JacNet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40Mmmm.... Open sauce.
  • Tabou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27Beat what?
  • Skootles, on 10/10/2007, -2/+29Epic fail
  • Renton, on 10/10/2007, -5/+31It could be a Vista theme for Emerald.
  • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -7/+29No no no. You're doing it wrong.

    It's "Leave Lindsay A-Lohan"
  • dvsbastard, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24I wonder if Gimp adheres to the newer 3 ply standards, as well as being backwards compatible with double and single ply varieties...
  • mulletmusketeer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22I'm not going to lie, I tried it. It took about 30 mins to fix my printer
  • tvon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20It's been an option for about 2 years.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Uhh... no thank you, my ass is just fine without ink smearing on it.
  • Jo9100, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19confirmed.
  • redmaxx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19What they need is an option to take videos from YouTube and print them out frame by frame. Then you'd literally have a YouTube. Just pull really hard and instant video!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -6/+22Then why is he using Vista?
  • FreakyD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17HARDY HAR HAR
  • zholmquist, on 03/04/2009, -0/+14Having lived in the Philippines, I noticed that the majority of the population doesn't use Toilet Paper, but rather they "iwong" or wipe with their hand with the help of water . . . so yeah . . . I think that is also a difference that may need to be addressed.
  • D3koy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Dugg, not because it was particularly funny, but because it wasn't a terrible "put Bush on it" joke...
  • fattyboy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15The original Reddit thread has a bit on the international standards for toilet paper sizes - http://reddit.com/info/2o7bp/comments
  • Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Considering that there actually are companies that do printed TP (for office gags and such, I suppose), that's a surprisingly valid question.
  • sublimemtb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12The real question is how to get my printer to print on toilet paper
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11>The trick is to feed it in from back to front.
    Are you talking about wiping or printing?
  • holygram, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11That's (arguably) the most pointless comment I've ever seen on digg.

    Congratulations.
  • warbird, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Living in Japan, Ive noticed that the length of each sheet is about 2.5 times longer here than back home in Norway(about 3 inches?), so yeah, there are differences.
  • KenYN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11'WC Load Letter'? What the ***** does that mean?
  • TheTaoOfBill, on 10/10/2007, -7/+18I gotta say the whole ew vista crowd really had me questioning vista. But now that I got my new computer with windows vista I'm so glad I went with it. It's a great operating system. I don't see what's so ew about it.
  • Burritoking924, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12This is how you know that you've been spending too much time on Digg, and I admit, I dugg him up.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15Here's one: http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/6/6a/Mirror.jpeg
  • .Steven, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13Find out for yourselves: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portablegimp/GIMP_Portable_2.2.17.paf.exe?download
  • Error601, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Maybe they did it like the evolution of photographic film. They took the original stock, the Sears catalog page, and split it longways.
  • SquigglyP, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I tried that one time, but I went through SO MANY rolls before i got a printout without either tearing the paper all to shreds or running out of ink. The trick is to feed it in from back to front.
  • ptdev, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10hands full of paper? you mean you don't know how to use the 3 sea shells?
  • chumpsucker, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9My request to the GIMP group for a "doohickey" document format has fallen on deaf ears, maybe now they'll revisit this.
  • alok0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Only 15? http://xkcd.com/214/
  • neko, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8How the hell are they getting 300dpi? Whenever I try it, the results look like *****.
  • shawnz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9cool
  • HotN, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It beat itself
  • Tenoq, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11Try setting up advanced network sharing. Try loading it on a laptop with 1GB of RAM or less. Try deleting a file and being asked 3-4 times: "Are you sure?".

    There's plenty 'ew' about it, including the fact it costs a fortune. I can understand getting it pre-installed... but who on earth would upgrade their XP machine to Vista nonsense at this point in time? :P
  • martinbogo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6This is a toilet paper printer, and the reason the Gimp has a 300dpi profile for "Toilet Paper"

  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5That's how art students get their degrees.
  • KidKenosha, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9Hint: you're not supposed to SIT on it.
  • mmatton, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Actual option included in version I have, 2.2.17.
