=Moved from Water Cooler=

OR Proposal: Investigative reporting and survey into YouTube & Google Chrome
Hi. I'm conducting investigations into issues being experienced by a large number of YouTube members, who report that they seem to have severe difficulty uploading to the site using any browser other than Google Chrome. I'm looking to OR this into a story, but first, I am conducting an online survey on an independent site called Surveymonkey, into people's uploading experiences, browser usage and so on.

The results of the survey will be collated to see others experiences of uploading, and presented to Google with a request for their comments on the issue.

My own (and others) suspicion, as I am a victim of this problem (as are about 460+ other users of a private web group I belong to) is that Google are making it harder for people to upload to YouTube using external browsers other than their own, in an attempt to gain more users for their products - which essentially means they're committing an unfair trade practice by inhibiting the free choice of users to select their own products.

I have created a short survey with Surveymonkey, which I wish to publicise via site notice at Wikinews, in order to make people aware and ask for their responses. The survey is set up in such a way that I have no idea who has filled it in, as there is no IP address stored, and no personal data of any description.

The link to the survey is here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7DQ9SP2 and consists of 8 simple questions which I've shown to others before committing the survey, and no problems are immediately foreseen.

Thanks for your help. BarkingFish (talk) 21:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I think what you're asking is, "Could an admin please add this to the Sitenotice?" There are a couple of different site notices for Wikinews, both for logged in and not-logged-in users. -  Amgine | t 22:20, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Spot on, that's exactly what I'm asking. I want non logged in and logged in users to see the link - the purpose of the explanation above is merely to state why I've created the survey, its purpose and to make it totally clear I'm doing it for investigative reasons. BarkingFish (talk) 22:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * For the record, I've got a Limesurvey install if anyone wants to commandeer it. — μ 22:55, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I suppose someone has to ask this. Would putting this on the sitenotice compromise the neutrality of the project?  (I've not yet formed an opinion, at this point; it seems an important question, though.)  --Pi zero (talk) 23:20, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, Pi zero. In my opinion (although you're free to form your own), the survey is being used as part of a potential Wikinews report, so simply asking people to fill it out I don't think will compromise its neutrality. The sitenotice can be dismissed, so it gives the user free choice as to whether to fill it out or not, so I don't foresee a problem.  If you do, please tell me what you think could arise in the way of issues as a result of posting it here. BarkingFish (talk) 23:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

 * This should be trivially easy to prove, or disprove. Simply use a browser gadget that fakes the ident string to match Chrome's. If the problem vanishes, they are giving preferential treatment. Oh, and my opinion is sitenoticing this is questionable WRT project neutrality. --Brian McNeil / talk 00:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Most decent websites I would assume have a way of spotting faked idents, and when you say "project neutrality" - do you mean Wikinews's neutrality, or the project I'm undertaking? BarkingFish (talk) 01:55, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I believe xe means Wikinews's neutrality. Using the project sitenotice would appear to imply official backing for your research — and appearance of neutrality is important.

 * Software is often written stupidly (for a variety of reasons, not all of which are themselves stupid); I'd suggest doing the experiment Brian described. A negative result might, as you observe, not mean anything, but a positive result is conceivable.  --Pi zero (talk) 02:43, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Houston, I think we have an answer. -

3 screenshots from my YouTube uploads, 2 done in opera 11, using an IE8 spoofed header and opera's own, and the 3rd being the file manager showing a successful upload in processing, the third one being produced with a chrome header manually set in Opera's preferences.

Now the question is, where the **** do we go from here? BarkingFish (talk) 04:44, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Heh; Isn't it handy to have a geek or two available? If you can get some of Bawolff's time, ask him to try and replicate the above. If he can, then I'd say we've grounds to take this further. The steps I'd recommend are as follows:
 * Write a simple, concise how-to for people to try and replicate this and document their tests.
 * See if you can get a sample of 20 or more people, geographically distributed, successfully reproducing the error.
 * Identify which of Google/YouTube's distributed servers they're accessing (i.e. traceroute to whatever www.youtube.com resolves to for them).
 * Lay out the evidence as a report proving preferential treatment for their own browser.
 * In one shot (something I'll do if we prep our report off-wikinews (happy to host on wikinewsie.org) is hit the us DoJ, the European Commission, and (I'd be cheeky and defer ~48 hrs) challenge Google that they're breaching competition laws due to YouTube being the 'de-facto' video sharing service.
 * Incidentally, for your test, you should be using a standardised video. Upload that somewhere that all people conducting the test can grab it from. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:55, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I'd really want a couple of quite techie people to do some additional investigation into this. To whit, running a packet sniffer on their lan whilst conducting the tests. The purpose of this is to establish if Chrome is assigned preferential servers for upload to. That would be a definitive smoking gun on this. I can put the proposal to the mailing list for our LUG and see if the idea piques anyone's curiosity. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:12, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Moar! I've looked up contact details for appropriate DoJ and EC DG Competition offices. I will email both a tentative query this evening to establish if they believe that Google using YouTube to promote their browser would breach competition rules. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:25, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Additional research
Since Google's YouTube would need to be considered a near-monopoly for video sharing, I've done some digging:

 * If anyone can find more current coverage on the popularity of online video sharing services, please add 'em. A cursory check only turned up mobile-related stuff in the past few months.
 * I may look for some ComScore data, or try to blag some. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Taking this somewhere quieter
I'd strongly suggest this is ready to move out of the WC and into the talk of a prepared story.

As those on scoop will note, I've 'gone fishing' with prospective prosecutors. Additionally, I've asked my local LUG if anyone is interested in doing a lab-style analysis.

I do not want to go near MS, Opera, or Mozilla until we've got a lot closer to having an exposé to publish. There's a host of possible causes/Google actions that could give the symptoms we've seen.

So, how's about popping all this to Prepared? --Brian McNeil / talk 22:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Just for clarification
Here are the User agent strings used in the Spoof test:

IE8: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0)

Chrome: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.655.0 Safari/534.17

Opera's OWN header: Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.1; U; en-US) Presto/2.7.62 Version/11.01

BarkingFish (talk) 22:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Usage survey
Per discussion, I thing the following points should be surveyed:
 * 1) Most frequently used video sharing sites
 * 2) Usage patters: download/upload
 * 3) Linking with social networking sites
 * 4) Browser usage
 * 5) Video media format usage
 * 6) Any associated issues/problems uploading or downloading

The latter two should be restricted to those above a certain upload threshold.

The sample size has to be large enough to give meaningful data, that's going to be tricky. Amgine may be able to suggest additional points relating to this. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

As the UN is reporting that Bradley Manning is being tortured, the word "torture" should not appear in quotes, as it implies a diminution of its point of view.

User talk:Rv232001~enwikinews

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Rv232001. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rv232001~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:21, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:36, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Noobhunter. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Noobhunter~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

London and Toronto stock exchanges propose merger

February 9, 2011

Only weeks before the Canadian government in Ottawa is expected to table a budget which may trigger a national election, the announcement of a proposed 3.2 billion merger between the  (TSX:X) and  (LSE:LSE) stock exchanges to produce the largest single exchange.

Even as news was beginning to leak about the mega-merger, (FWB:DB1) and  (NYSE:NYX) announced deep negotiations under way regarding a merger between the third and second, respectively, largest exchange groups by total revenues. The proposed TMX-LSE group merger would produce the largest market in terms of listings - approximately 6,700 companies are traded between the two groups - but total annual receipts would likely not make it the largest in dollars.

Technically the merger is a takeover of Toronto-based TMX by the LSE Group, with LSE shareholders owning 55% of the new company. TMX head Thomas Kloet would become CEO of the new firm, while LSE's executive would take chairmanship of a new board consisting of 8 members from LSE and 7 from TMX.

Canadian Industry Minister has said the government will review the merger, which raises the spectre of a government rejection of a deal which would see yet another large Canadian corporation under foreign ownership. The ruling conservatives have been dogged by the issue, and have blocked two other foreign ownership bids during the current government's terms - last year's (TSX:POT) takeover bid from  (BHP.AX) and the earlier  (NYSE:ATK) bid for  (TSX:MDA) space technologies branch, the only two such blocks ever made by a Canadian government.

Canadian opposition parties challenged the Prime Minister over the proposal, with leader  questioning the benefits of the deal. "Of course, Canadian companies need access to foreign capital, but not at the expense of our own capital markets," he said. Canadian Prime Minister refused to comment on the proposal, having been criticised for involving his office in the Potash bid.

Both the Quebec and Ontario regulatory commissions are also involved in reviewing the deal, which is set for October 2011, as their provincial exchanges are in Montreal and Toronto respectively.

Tankers taken by pirates in Indian Ocean

February 11, 2011

Pirates have hijacked two tankers carrying a total of 374,255 metric tons of off the coast of Oman in the. After these attacks, pirates now control 29 ships and 660 hostages; pirates recently released Keummi 305, a South Korean ship.

Early Tuesday, an Italian ship, MV Savina Caylin, was boarded 670 miles east of. The oil tanker had 104,255 metric tons on board; it was traveling from Sudan to Malaysia. Shots were fired at the vessel, beginning the attacks at 0625 GMT; the pirates used rocket-propelled grenades and small arms. At the time, the tanker was 500 miles from India and 800 miles from Somalia. An spokesperson stated that no one was injured in the attack—17 crew members were on board when at least 5 pirates boarded.

A similar attack occurred Wednesday on a Greek tanker, containing 270,000 metric tons of oil, off the coast of Oman. Greek company Enesel SA, which manages the ship, reported that 25 crew members were on board. The vessel was headed from Kuwait to United States' Gulf of Mexico. Irene SL has not been in contact with its owners since the attack.

South Sudan minister Milla shot, killed

February 10, 2011

South Sudan's Cooperatives and Rural Development Minister, Jimmy Lemi Milla, was shot and killed yesterday at his office in Juba, South Sudan. Officials said they believed the shooting was not politically motivated.

According to witnesses, after the minister and his bodyguard had entered the ministry building, the shooter broke into the minister's car and took from it the bodyguard's pistol, entered the building, and shot and killed first the minister, then the bodyguard. He was subdued and taken into custody. According to officials, the shooter, who may have been the minister's brother-in-law, had been employed by Milla and wanted to be paid.

Civil servant Richard Lukodu said, "This is such a shock to the people here, coming so soon after our peaceful referendum... This is the result of one angry man — and people should not think that this is reflective of all of south Sudan."

South Sudan held a referendum last month on secession from Sudan. Following decades of civil war officially ending in 2005, violence in the south has been a continuing problem, but lessened leading up to the referendum. The result of the referendum was overwhelmingly for secession, and the President of Sudan has stated acceptance of that result.

City of Calgary, Canada removes fluoride from drinking water

February 10, 2011

city council voted 10 to 3 on Wednesday to stop their water supply. This overturns a previous plebiscite from 1989 to add the fluoride in an attempt to reduce.

Opponents of water fluoridation claim that there could be unknown health effects of fluoride, and question its effectiveness in preventing tooth decay. They also claim that individuals should be able to decide for themselves whether or not to use fluoride. However, maintains that current evidence shows that fluoride is both safe, and beneficial to dental health.

It is estimated that no longer fluoridating the water supply could save Calgary's city council annually, as well as cutting a  upgrade to the fluoridation system.

General

 * 1) Fix 404s. ✅
 * 2) Optimise performance by using http://img.wikinewsie.org for static images within the wiki, static content through http://static.wikinewsie.org
 * 3) /me notes that's probably not a bottle neck given the number of hits the site gets (and doing that might not make it all that faster, since they're both hosted from the same server).  There are many other things to consider optimizing that will have much better gains if we encounter performance issues. Bawolff ☺☻ 20:22, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) * This is not to optimise performance server-side. Yes, it would allow such at a future point. However, it tends to have an impact client-side in that a browser will see different domains and send more parallel requests where it might otherwise queue requests if all to the same hostname. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:28, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes much more sense. Bawolff ☺☻ 20:30, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't get as much grey in your beard as me without learning a trick or two. ;-) --Brian McNeil / talk 21:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Write map of wikinewsie hosting/site.
 * 2) Would it be cheeky to ask for FTP access again? [[File:Knipoog.gif]]— μ 21:32, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * What part you need at? I'll be on IRC once I'm in the house. On bus at the moment. --Brian McNeil / talk 21:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I currently have access to limesurvey, which I'm uploading as I type. It would be useful to have access to the MediaWiki installation in my own right – I've installed a few extensions and settings, I'm happy to continue. By the way, Dendodge raised a concern that "original.wikinewsie.org" was a pretty long domain name, and was wondering why it wasn't just "wikinewsie.org/wiki". — μ 21:51, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Four characters difference; and, as a sub-domain there's more flexibility. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:52, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Anything else?
Feel free to add additional suggestions on how the site should be set up; any additional tools that would be useful; tweaks to the appearance, and so on. --Brian McNeil / talk 09:39, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Additional screenshots for other mail clients would be most useful. At present, only Evolution on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is given.

User talk:Mon~enwikinews

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mon~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:22, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Air Canada back in the black in 2010

February 12, 2011

In the final quarter of 2010, airline Air Canada (TSX:AC.B) earnings rose to 134 million, 42 cents per share, capping a sharp return to profitability in 2010.

The year resulted in the company's highest-ever earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation, and rent of $1.39 billion, 707 million more than the previous year. Operating income for fourth quarter was reported as $85 million, which compared very favourably with an $83 million loss in 2009.

Only 21 months ago Air Canada was threatened with bankruptcy and using its financial weakness in negotiations with its employees, achieving status quo contracts. With labour contracts scheduled to end this month and next, the strong position of the airlines is expected to stiffen union resolve to share in the increased net revenues.

Those revenues were helped by increasing numbers of passengers and reducing costs, as well as foreign exchange gains. International travel, especially to the Pacific region, led the rises. US travellers through the main Toronto hub more than doubled, indicating the increase in foreign air traffic to and through Canadian airports.

Thread:Comments:Tankers taken by pirates in Indian Ocean/When will this stop?/reply

The pirates have nearly 700 hostages, some held on the order of a year. Surely their bases can be identified by satellites observing their captured boats in their docks. Either world governments are too short handed to do anything, or they are too scared for the current hostages (and are thus willing to let more be captured), or there is something nefarious going on. This seems like a solvable problem -- perhaps if we had any leadership at all they would make a priority to address it to the end. Maybe this is the result of democracies electing people based on marketing-led popularity contests instead of ability and intellect. It is ridiculous that we don't declare war and have operatives and escorts for all commercial and private shipping until this is resolved. What does it take?

I thought that a Korean military venture took place to free the ship and hostages. This article claims that the pirates let them go. Am I misinformed?

Hosni Mubarak steps down as president of Egypt

February 11, 2011

Hosni Mubarak has stepped down as the president of Egypt, handing control of the country to the armed forces. Mubarak stepped down after eighteen days of mass protests across the country.

"In these difficult circumstances that the country is passing through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to leave the position of the presidency. He has commissioned the armed forces council to direct the issues of the state," said the vice president of Egypt, Omar Suleiman. Both houses of parliament and the cabinet are expected to be suspended following Mubarak's resignation the BBC reports, quoting Al-Arabiya.

In response to the resignation, Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei stated that "This is the greatest day of my life. The country has been liberated."

Mubarak had been Egypt's president for nearly 30 years.

Thread:Comments:Hosni Mubarak steps down as president of Egypt/Not as meaningful as it seems.

The military's been in power, through proxy leaders, since 1952. Every leader has been ex-military. So "whether Mubarak will step down" seems like a bit of a red herring; the real question is whether the military ruling class will permit free/fair elections.

Thread:Comments:Egypt protests: Army say they will not use force on demonstrators as Mubarak announces cabinet/Youth and Democracy around the World

True DEMOCRACY is when the people govern their destiny and those how govern fearing them as it is the case with Egypt. Sadly the United State is using this historical in Egypt for propaganda around the world. The US portraits itself as the nation of democracy, let’s see if it’s true. We see how the United State government speaks about democratic principles while it maintains the people of the US ignorant of the true meaning of democracy. Every day President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary the press speaks about this historical event and how the Egyptian Government should listen to their people. President Obama and Secretary Clinton use world like freedom, human right violation, dictatorship, democracy, freedom of the press, etc., these are worlds they have no clue of their true meaning. In 2008, they went to the island of Puerto Rico to campaign for the United State Presidential election. They use Puerto Rican’s public funds for their campaign which is unlawful under the Puerto Rican Constitution, of course, a Constitution drafted by the United State Congress and imposed on the Puerto Rican’s people in 1952. The truth is, not one United Sate Citizen, while in the island of Puerto Rico can vote for any President of the USA, not even George Washington if alive today can vote for the President of the United State. Talk about democratic principles. Since 1898, every President of the USA has spoken secretly about the people of Puerto Rico and their political status. The United Nation recognizes Puerto Rico as the older colony in the world living under the imperial rule of the United State (United Nation General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV). We must not forget that while the United State goes immoral underwear around the world preaching democracy, that the world knows in what oppressive status the people of Puerto Rico are living. The world knows that the United State of America violates human rights in Puerto Rico and commits genocide in the island of Puerto Rico. The people in Puerto Rico know that the USA Coast Guard and the Central Intelligence Agency turns a blind eye on the smuggling of arms and drugs brought into Puerto Rico. Today the US Government presses on the puppets (Puerto Rico Government), that how they are call in the island, to suppress freedom of the press and deny any demonstration related to any democratic principles. Here in the United State no news paper, radio or television is permitted to talk about the United Nation and the situation with Puerto Rico. The threat of losing their jobs and license is there. We must use every mean available to educate ourselves and learn about Democracy in the United State, only then we can regain the image of a true DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY and be once again the world Shining Star. Knowing that by talking openly about democracy in the United State I am targeted by those who governs the United State of America. The youth of Egypt are showing the world what power true democracy has. Everything can be done without bloodshed or killing. Now, the youth of the world can see and learn, once the will of the people is united democracy is born.

For the military to screw this up now, would probably mean war. I doubt the US would have allowed this to happen if there wasn't some diplomatic assurance of certain measures, especially from the military. This was planned out and speeches wrote 24 hours ago. Mubarak didn't just have an epiphany. Besides, elections, technically by the constitution as it's written, would take place in 60 days.

Thread:Comments:Hosni Mubarak steps down as president of Egypt/What would the real meaning of Mubarak's resignation turn out to be.

The people of Egypt, as well as throughout the world may be in for a very unpleasant surprise should the events unfold as with Iran's case back in 1979. An autocrat with a very firm grip on power, a ruthless secret police and disdain for basic human rights is finally toppled by means of widespread protests. The group to which governing power is transferred makes a series of promises which keeps, at least for the time being.

However, things start changing ominously. And, with passing time, the results turn out to be worse than they used to be formerly.

The Muslim Brotherhood has made promises regarding democracy, basic human rights and liberty. But what would happen should this faction turn out to be just one more fundamentalist group? What would life in the post-Mubarak era turn out to be like in Egypt? How would things sort out for Israel having to face hardship throughout all her frontlines?

Consider this scenario: The Iranians already wield the power to close the Strait of Hormus. The Egyptians hold control of the Suez Canal. So, these two countries, based upon fundamentalist philosophies could very well choke the oil flow towards the Western Countries. After all, these countries, with the USA in the lead position, are deemed as "unfaithful" or decadent so some sort of "punishment" might be well deserved. Israel, as well, has been receiving one-fourth of her natural gas supplies fed via the Arab Gas Pipeline (which exploded a few days ago) running in from Egypt. So, why not leave her literally "out in the cold".

The bottom line is that, as previous history shows, we're only looking at the beginning of a very complicated thread of events yet to come.

Money
This article should contain conversions to at least one globally recognised currency - realistically, euro or USD. Or both. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 13:18, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea, at least in principle. FWIW, there were practical problems that caused me, at the time of review, to classify the USD conversions then present as unverifiable information (and, given the lateness, failing for them seemed like a recipe for staleness).
 * Many of them were wrong, so far as I could see. One of them was in the opposite direction from the others, and several others were inconsistent (in mutually inconsistent ways) with the conversion factor provided in one of the sources.  One looked like it had a typo in it, as far as I could judge.
 * Many of them had more digits of precision than the CAD figure, which renders the conversion deceptive imho by portraying the original number as more precise than it actually was.
 * I did note, without being entirely sure how one would properly handle it (but probably one would just grin and bear it), that if one rounded off USD to the same number of digits of precision as CAD, several of the figures simply come out as the same in USD as in CAD. --Pi zero (talk) 13:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
