Okidata Dot Matrix (9 pin) printer handles multipart forms quite well. It also does a decent job on mailing labels.
I use an HP Laserjet for printing my mailing labels. Works well as long as you don't buy inkjet only labels. Get the Laser Labels and you wont have probls.
"The moment you use other peoples media on that device, it stops being yours to do whatever you want with it."
because I bought and paid for that physical media. It's called the "Doctrine of First Sale" and this consumer protection law specifically prevents companies from pulling this kind of shit. Sorry but what you're saying is I signed a negotiated contract with Sony and each and every Media Producer when I purchased that PS3 from Walmart/BestBuy/Circuit City/Fry's/Sams Club/Name your Retailer and you're absolutely incorrect, which is what this judgement was all about. They sold these devices with this feature as a feature . Obligatory Car Analogy
Your take your car in for service and the Dealer removes the A/C system entirely as the Manufacturer has said, we decided to not offer the A/C on your car (usually between 0.8 - 1.2K $ in the U.S.)
The other issues you speak of are Copyright Issues, thus must follow Copyright Law in order to be enforced. Otherwise, these companies have taken the Law Into their own Hands and have decided that you no longer need access to that which you paid for.
Screw that. I've been switching all of my portable media over to 8GB flash drives as the cost/capacity ratio has finally reached equalibrim with DL-DVD media.
Something wrong there as 120w for sleep mode isn't very good. i'd say you're system isn't in either S3/S5 mode at all and all that's happened is that the monitor is in standy.
My System under load is using 130w right now. That's with GW minimized, Firefox 4 with 30 tabs open, my Wifi Router (7.5 watt wall wart), speakers and my 23inch 1080 HD Display running. All of this is being powered by my APC SmartUPS XS1300 for 15 percent load and 30+ minutes of runtime.
Wrong. If you have bad Credit, no bank wants you as a customer becuase of the potential for writing bad checks and yes I know what I'm talking about as it happened to my brother. He couldn't even get a savings account because of his bad credit. The banks simply didn't want him as a customer because he cost too much to have.
The only thing wrong with your idea is the FDA pulling a drug. When that happens there's damn good reason and that should be respected but in the case of a Company pulling a drug due to Legal Actions and such, then yea, kill their patents on that drug and allow the generics to begin making it even if it requires a Black Label warning.
That's been my thought for some time. Put the damn electric motors right in the wheel assembly themselves using the brake rotors. Best of both worlds in propulsion and braking using regenative methods for ABS/Traction/Stability control.
Software should have no possibility of fragging hardware and thus if the hardware is failing, then it should be covered under warranty. Of course, we all recall the LG Burner fiasco don't we? That's the one where LG was doing something screwy and not following the specs and people were fragging their burners under Linux.
In the case of support, if it's not a supported software configuration IE: linux on a Dell windows box, then I can see software support being unable/unwilling to help as it's an unsupported configuration and the user is on their own but if it is a supported configuration (sold that way) then there should be no reason for the support department to waffle about providing support although they may be incompentent at it.
Hell I'm removing all CA's from the browser as I don't trust any of them. Yes it creates a bit of an issue with some websites but all I have to do is add an exception for that site instead of blindly trusting the damn certificate.
What annoys me no end in Firefox is the fact that there is no simple way to disable all certs below a CA w/o having to disable each and everyone of them. This makes no sense. If I don't trust the Root CA then why in hell should I trust any of their subsidary CA's to be any better and why can't I uncheck a box for a Root CA and untrust the entire chain?
I've been preaching the max ram option to people who are planning on new systems since 2003 when I was able to see the difference it made using Gentoo Linux. The testing method was a bit simplistic but as it involved bootstrapping the system, the difference in time required with 512 compared to 1GB was impressive and convinced me at that time to install the most memory I could afford.
What I find funny now is people are spending their money on High Performance Gaming RAM when actual benchmarks show no improvement in performance for the same amount of memory. Instead you get more bang for buck by going with the max memory your system can use and for gaming, that helps improve things much faster then any other upgrade with the exception of a High End Video card.
In going through the Cert Store in FF4, I discovered a number of them that were completely unchecked, indicating that the Mozilla Foundation/Org doesn't trust them. If that's they case, why in hell are they still in the store?
If they're untrusted then remove them and start cleaning things up. If we actually need them, they can be installed at that time just like any other certificate.
The reason I keep it is that the cost of sorting out the useful from the useless is higher than just copying it all.
Aint that the truth.
I'm in the position of trying to decided what images I want to keep from an ever growing collection. Things I liked the looks of and grabbed online simply because it was there. Of course the problem is locating all of the duplicates with changed names, files sizes and such and there simply isn't any app that does a decent job. I used to be able to use one called PicSort but it's unsupported since Win2k and doesn't like the size of my collections as it pukes on anything larger then 1.5K collections. I used to use Dpeg but it doesn't work on WIn7-64 reliably and haven't found anything to even do a basic dupe finding for me.
Gamer bought a CD/DVD to install said software onto his computer
Gamer breached TOS of Forums
EA Shuts game off on his Computer
The only problem is, the gamer bought a physical product and depending upon his state, any EULA that EA is trying to enforce would be an unrecognized clause. For example, in California, EULA's are not recognized as a Valid Contract, thus EA is now liable for Breach of the First Sale Doctrine, Computer Hacking and Misrepresentation of Product, meaing that in California he'd have EA by the Balls and could rip them off, teaching them a lesson while getting a very nice payout for his trouble.
The short Answer is "NO". The reason for this is you never figure on more then 5 hours of Peak Sun unless you're at the equator, where you can figure 8 hours. The reason for this is pretty simple. It's called Axial Tilt, resulting in our seasons.
Why the 5 hour figure is simple and it's called Winter. That's when you have less sunlight that provides energy due to angles of incidence. Sure a PV panel can provide some output if faced directly at the sunrise but until 9am it's going to continue increasing as the amount of energy reaches saturation levels of the array. This will remain until 3pm (1500) during the winter as the sun passes it's peak and begins declining until the energy provided is less then what's being demanded.
In order to retain reliability, a PV array is generally in a fixed possition that's solidly mounted. This ensures the maximum amount of energy will be generated during the Peak Sun period and may include a seasonal adjustment for Summer/Winter tilt. Any method used to shift a PV array has to remain as mechanically simple as possible and the only ones that work reliably with minimal maintenance are fixed angle. Yes you can use a more sophisticated tracking system but then you're reducing the actual output by the amount needed to power the tracking system.
a 5670? Damn that's what I've got and I can tell you it don't play BC2 at all. Totally unusable because the card only has 512 megs. Yes there are a few with 1GB but that doesn't help since the simple doesn't have enough bandwidt - it's a 128connection. If it was a 256bit connection, then it might, might be usable but I don't know of anyone who makes one with a 256 bus.
I see nothing in "While you were reading Tolkien, I was watching Evangelion" that suggests endorsement by the Tolkien Estate, check.
and that's where you're wrong. By referencing Tolkien at all, You are indicating that Tolkien was watching Evangelion instead of reading, which puts it into the direct sponship of Evangelion. That's the great thing about the Law. It's open to interpretation in almost any direction so long as you can successfully argue the point and in this case, the website already had a policy in place that they would not fight trademark issues because of the costs associated with those fights.
What the idiot submitter meant was the UK section of the EU LOFAR antenna had been expanded, which I understood automatically. It's like talking about MS. Which effen division of MS are you talking about? India? EU? Japan? China? NorAm (North America)? S. America? What division?
That's what I understood the poster to mean. Of course, I also speak Amglish instead of the Queen's English and yes I'm one of those revolting colonists
I'm sorry folks but I have to put my 0.02c in on this thread. Simply put, I'm all against using the term Bricked for something that's beyond repair because it does not convey the correct information. If it's non-functional, then it's broke and call be called a Paperweight or Doorstop, which conveys the information that the device is damaged beyond your ability or desire to repair.
Brick refers to a specific building material, usually made from a virtuous clay material baked/fired in an oven/kiln. It does not refer to an item that no longer functions as designed, either through damage or modification.
You can Brick a device but you need to actually beat it with a Brick to Brick it. Otherwise it's broke
Well I have to agree with him about Bud and Miller but have to add Coors to the Horse Piss class. Sorry but none of them are really a beer anylonger.
Of course these companies survived prohibition simply because they were behind some of its acts in the first place./conspiracy theory
Seriously though, Prohibition cost the States in excess of 3000 different breweries and brands, most of which were regional or even local and we're only now starting to replace them.

Just checked it with IE9/64 bit and the link is borked there too. Guess they figure since no one bothers to RTFA why have working links.

Well the copy of Trumpet I had came with the Netscape Gold that I'd bought for WFW 3.11 as it gave me the needed dialer for net access at the time.
System wasn't much by today's standards but that 486 sure ran good enough to begin using the net back in 94
Nope. I'd rather have it with pointed ears and black hair. Either Lt. Savik or 7of9 though I wouldn't turn down a Xena version if given to me.
