Desktop FreeBSD Part 4: Printing

Posted by michael on from the in-the-beginning-was-the-teletype dept.

uninet writes "As a writer, the only reason Ed Hurst ever got his first computer was because it was far more efficient than a typewriter, and certainly more readable than his own handwriting. To enjoy that efficiency, however, you need a working printer, and Ed explores accomplishing just that with FreeBSD in this piece."

    It sounds to me like he is just another lib traitor, who would kill an unarmed freedom fighter and fabricate his war record just so that he could be elected president and kill unborn children at home. Shut up and sing, "entertainer" .

    I have recently installed some new software on my FreeBSD computer but I have some questions. One thing it is apparently doing is detecting bad "scripts" on web pages and asks me if I want to debug them.

    The question I have is "what exactly is scripting" and "debugging" and how I am supposed to debug? Can someone with some techno experience explain what is scripting, coding, etc...Also, what is a "RunTime Error". The exact line that pops up says: "A runtime error has occurred. Do you wish to debug? Line:52 Error 'null' is null or not an object" What does this mean?
