Wrong anwser to random question when searching
Just a small query - when carrying out a search of the forum recently, the 'random' question I was asked was "What does DAC stand for?
My answer was "digital to analogue converter" but apparently this was wrong I'd be intrigued to know the right answer if anyone knows it!

What happens if you put 'search' in the search box?
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

So you got the "Wrong anwser to random question when searching"? I'm not surprised - an easy mistake to make (the keys are adjacent to one another).

I'd have failed the question to because whoever set that question / answer up (it wasn't me) got it wrong...! Quite surprisingly wrong actually :-)
I've fixed it with all the obvious 'right' answers so it shouldn't bother you again.

As opposed to an Analogue Analogue Converter? But what is an analogue converter actually converting whether it's a digital one or an analogue one?
