Slashdot Mirror

It's Slashvertisement Lite, wherein the primary developer (Chris Dance, I believe) of an open source project tries to conceal the fact that he or she is trying to get attention for their work. This usage has cropped up once or twice before. This is comparable to many modern television advertisements, which have a dreadfully low chance of actually getting you to buy anything, and are much more focused on playing the longer, deeper game of making you remember the name. (Which, in this case, is PaperCut.) It's there, just not quite as obvious.

I work for a school as well,
Try http://www.papercut.com/ webprinting. I haven't used it for the web printing feature but find Papercut to be fantastic.

I did some calculations for a project I worked on at PaperCut Software. The true environmental cost is not the ink, nor the printer, put the paper. The energy and environmental impact of paper production is scary. It takes 17 Watt hours just to make one sheet, or 8.6g of CO2 per sheet! (see here for details http://www.papercut.com/products/ng/manual/ch-sys-mgmt-environmental-impact.html) Saving the holes in the ink is not going to do much. The real savings are saving paper. For example, many of the schools running our print quota software see a drop in paper by up to 80% over free printing. That's a lot better for the environment that a few empty holes :-)

I agree. Cycling to work is the best way for a programmer to keep fit. You effectively kill two birds with the one stone - get to work and keep fit at the same time meaning you loose no programming time! My employer, PaperCut Software, actively encourages all employees to ride where possible. We're all provided with free membership for Bicycle Victoria providing us with basic accident and 3rd party insurance.

So are the hazards. No one ever died from a Palm crashing.
