I don't recall if the serials are included. The model and location certainly are (location being set in the web interface) In any case, iirc the idea was not to have a smoking gun, but to prove that a document was indeed printed on a suspect's printer. The same reasoning, as has been pointed out in this thread, why samples of typewriter type was required in the Eastern Bloc countries.
So what? Many people, especially those in homes, have NAT'd networks. Yours never talks out to the world for anything? Many do and most users aren't smart enough to know how to stop if. Or are even aware that it happens.
We have nice printers at work that send email when they have problems or need supplies. They are also NAT'd out.
OK, so you don't agree with them. That's good, you seemed to be coming across as a sock puppet for the company. Why these are a Good Thing.
My concerns aren't just about domestic abuse. What if a person in, say Saudi Arabia, began writing things critical of the monarchy or religion? I know "What Ifs" are just speculation, but if this behaviour was indeed benign and of no use, they would likely have abandoned it years ago.
It's trivial to geolocate with IP and most printers are networked these days. Changing the serial doesn't mean the "real" burned in one isn't printed as well.
Seriously, what benefit is there to the consumer for this behaviour? None. Stop being an apologist for your employer.
The U.S. embassy in Rome has examined the securities dated 1934,
which had a nominal value of $1 billion apiece, they said in the
statement.
I'm admittedly not a financial/bonds guy, but wouldn't $1 billion securities raise some eyebrows? In the same way that trying to pay for a Slurpee with a $1000 bill would.
Nevada, and Vegas, are good places to party. It'd be interesting (though not exactly scientific) to see if impaired driving charges drop when people are able to take their own self-driving car home.

Overall, this vest can take quite the fill. It gets 2 Fists Up

somewhat strange for someone to simultaneously hold the positions of CEO of a gaming company and editor for Slashdot, I'm going to say no, they're probably not the same person.
I always thought the/. editors were doing the work during their break from greeting people at WalMart.

I love Temple Run on iOS! Report back on how bad the piracy is for Android ;)
We have 2 PopcornHour streamers. The WAF is high with them.

We do (in another city through VPN) but the fact is that printers can talk to the world, even if NAT exists.
Trust me, the firmware developers in the printer industry aren't exactly the best and brightest in the software development world
But they were still able to shoehorn in a system of secretly printing out unique information to paper...

That was the most round-about way ever of saying "My parents are throwing my 38 year old ass out of the basement."
It would be like using your desktop to send messages to BBM on a Blackberry. Then using your Blackberry to BBM to Playbook, then back to a desktop.
The iMessages system is (Apple) device agnostic now.
I've just installed the new Messages app beta on Lion. Sent imessages from my work desktop direct to my iPhone and back.
Pretty sweet actually.
I LOL'd. Far more entertaining than the original fairy tale.
I thought Mike and Jim were two different people, not personalities.
Just up CanCon requirements to 100% and the 24 hour Beachcombers channel I've dreamed of for years will become realty!
Hah! Glad you're a good sport! I was almost not going to press Submit... :)

3) ???
4) PROFIT!
So much for Do No Evil. I'm sure it will be spun into how this makes Blogger a better experience for everyone.
Facebook reportedly has, what, 10% of the world's population? What's its growth model from here?
Farms. Lots and lots of farms.
I heard rumour that before Big Blue Wang there was Massive Pink Vag. Unfortunately the site is down and this can't be confirmed.
