Isn't Verizon owned by SBC/AT&T? If so, the parent company has no qualms about giving your browsing habits to the government, even without a court order.
1) Don't buy an inkjet unless you need color and can't afford a cheap color laser, or you really want to print photos. 2) Don't buy an inkjet from HP. Or anyone but Canon. Canon is the only non-evil inkjet maker I'm aware of.
I know I've seen an article a few years back about a small-scale airplane builder who used fuel-injected Chevy 350 engines on his planes. IIRC they were lightly modified, mainly to make them more reliable[1] and vibrate a bit less.
Most piston-engined general-aviation aircraft aren't going to fly high enough to need a supercharger, anyway -- unless you're traveling for a long distance, it's wasteful to climb that much, and naturally-aspirated engines are OK until at least 10,000 feet MSL.
[1] If your car's engine fails, you pull over and wait for a tow. If your plane's engine fails, you crash-land and probably ruin the plane, and maybe kill yourself and your passengers.
Why do some people need to insert caps where none truly exist[1]? It's not just "inkjet" as in this article's title. I've also seen it with Firefox and the old 3dfx Voodoo video cards, and many other words which I've thankfully forgotten.

I had to buy a new phone every month because their customer service (or lack thereof) had me so frustrated, I would throw the phone against the wall, and I would scream so loudly, my neighbors would call an ambulance.
WTF? Take anger-management classes before you hurt someone.
We order about a dozen or more Dell Latitudes every year, and we don't have problems like you describe. Even our older D800s and D600s are working well, and they're out of warranty. We still have inevitable things like hard drives dying and batteries going flat, but that happens to everyone.
Now, they had bought some Inspirons before I started there, and some of those are getting a bit naff; we've had a few docking stations go bad, for example. But the Lats are business-class and the Inspirons are consumer-grade, so that's not unexpected.
Moral: you get what you pay for. Their business-class stuff is usually a bit behind the times (still not selling C2D 6420 processors, for example) and weaker on graphics, but usually well-built.
I'd still build my own desktop PC, but alas don't have that luxury with a lapdog.
And the person who thought they legitimately paid for everything is stuck unable to get updates they may want and paid for unless they buy Windows again. Awesome.
IIRC if a dupe turns in the PC maker, they get a free copy of Windows for their troubles, and maybe something else.

I haven't had mod points in months. Last time I did, I only got one. What's the deal?
Happiness is a belt-fed weapon.
Then they got voted back in, then they were voted out again.
We'll see if they get voted in again.

You are well and truly fucked.
How about people like me who have the Adblock extension?
Of course, I also have Noscript, so I'd not even register in your scheme.

Stop. That's your mistake right there.

I was waiting for random StUdLyCaPS, thanks.

Not badder than the A-10, which *is* badder than Leroy Brown.
Clinton != Gore. Gore might not have signed it if it'd been his call; we'll never know.
Have a little respect for tradition, sonny. You should post that as a "Netcraft confirms it, Red Hat is dying" troll.
Yeah, I see that they don't have the spines either. Look at all the godsdamned non-binding resolutions that the Democrat-led Congress has shat out.
I swear to Eris, lift off and nuke DC from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
And who decides who gets on the primary ballot? A candidate has to have enough support (money) and media exposure, and mouth the right nice words.

Yes, they can be used for both. Your point?
c.f. the Gentoo fanboys a couple years ago who would bring up their distro in e.g. Debian and Slackware articles.

They still do that in Carthage, MO and Pittsburg, KS.
83/84-key keyboard, probably, which were common in the early-mid '80s on new computers.
How did the M take it? I've got a couple that are getting pretty grungy.
Amusingly, my answer was better because the nail'd be wet after it was removed from the tank, and with the powder on my hands I'd /still/ not get wet.
I suspect that fact was going through my mind seventeen years ago. Silly teacher.
