No, I'm referring to even smaller things, like their 1000 series printers (from a few years back).
However, my preference for Canon really starts at their bottom-level multi-cartridge systems and works up from there.
I'm going to need and A3 printer one of these days and it looks like another Canon will be the choice.
I don't mind that printer companies offer 'small flakey' printers, so long as they do offer the 'robust reliable and efficient' ones as well (Even at a price premium).
*laugh* very much what I was thinking. I bought the S520 printer - it's not really a 'photo' printer - but I was very content with it. Canon replacement cartridges are $19 here, $11 '3rd party'. Even better yet is that they are common across many different Canon printers - either marketing in Canon is asleep, or the engineers rule the roost, either way PLEASE DONT CHANGE. Incidently, I don't have a blind-love affair with Canon, I really despise their smaller printers (strangely, they all have all-in-one ink).
Well, if it does end up ruining his printer portion of the all-in-one device, it's not a big issue, as he'll probably be able to pick up a new printer free with his next cartridge.:-) ($20 printer, $60 cartridge, that's how it works now).... (yes yes yes, I know, the printers are sold at a 'loss' and the cartridges are used to recoup that)
Normally I found that Lexmark cartridges are insanely prices compared to the other brands which shows up furthermore in the price-per-page comparisons you often see.
Personally I've gone for the 4-cartridge Canon systems for inkjet and a HP 2200D Laser for the normal stuff (using refurbished toner cartridges - a mere $118 rather than $269 - complete with warranty).
This guy certainly proves that a little bit of searching around sure saves a LOT of money.
The whole printer-ink system reeks of things like the Debeers diamond cartel.
Now, I wonder how long this guy's WWW site will stay up:-?
My wife, a chronic TheSims addict, heard of the new TheSims2, supposedly was supposed to come out in March - hahahaah now it comes out in May... who knows from there "We're adding some more features". The problem is - my wife is such an addict that she almost ended up in tears and was screaming blue murder over the delays.
I'd rather have her screaming over lack of features (Hey, that's what the expansion packs are for) than not having it.
As an attempt to cover-over the issue, we went out and bought BloodRayne - man, what a horrible game that turned out to be - can't assign the controls for turning left/right in it - mouse only (even though you can set the keys in the config panel - go figure).
Anyhow, to summarise - if they're not GAURANTEED to ship at a certain date, then DON'T go posting one - I doubt they have any idea the amount of trauma they cause. To some people games are not a past-time, they're a lifestyle.
I've got at least a dozen production machines which have been going since Slackware 3.6, so I'm very glad to see the 2.0 kernels still being 'overseen' by someone.
The hardware is old, it works with the 2.0.x kernels, it works fast and without issues (except for exploits of course), so why bother making a radical change which might end up breaking more by moving to the latest.
I would have expected better to be honest. Instead the letter seems to drift about, morphing from rhetorics to tongue-in-cheek. Perhaps it's been specifically designed to work with Darl's psych?
What I find really amusing is that this story hits Slashdot at about 2am Australian time (EST) and most likely will be off the page by the time most Australians wake up.
I'm only up because someone's machines in the US decided do some bungee jumping without the bungee.
Actually, this is a very smart way to do it. I've seen a lot of 'series' adverts do it.
This advert is just the 'seeder'. It lays the foundation on which the other adverts with more information are going to rely on.
No one can explain the entire 'linux' thing in 30 seconds, however, a series of 30 second adverts, with a new one each successive month - all of a sudden every person and their pet turns into an 'expert.
Amen to that. I run X on my 486-75 laptop with 24Mb RAM without a hitch. It runs Opera, gvim, GAIM at the same time without lag or hitches. Of course, I'm using Fluxbox (I even run that on my Duron 1300 with 512Mb) which lightens up the load a bit.
X runs fine - it's all the other little trinkets that people love to add which slows the whole machine down.
Well, Im a relatively small e-commerce site, doing no more than perhaps $50,000 USD(equivilant) a year. Something like this would simply kill me.
I do not see how any company is going to come to terms with these high costs - more than likely they'll just adapt around the legals and leave the legal fees falling back on DET.
I only hope that the person/group/body whom approved the patenting of business-processes didn't envisage things happening like this, more than likely I'm deluded.
Well, I found that my new Sarah Brightman CD "Harem" is 'protected' - supposedly it works fine in Computers and such until you attempt to rip it - Yes well, I can still hear the glitches! In the end, I ripped the CD, eliminated the glitches and now experience a better quality playback (perceived) than off the CD.
I also considered the same statements as being 'weak'. Perhaps it's the FSF's gameplay, to be consistant with SCO's methods.
I'll probably get marked as a troll-supporter, but really "We promised not to include copyright code"... please give me a break.
The chance to plagarise sections of code which you don't consider primary to your primary function (ie, just general utils etc) is often very tempting, on which you oft justify as being "okay", because it's not the 'real core' of the code.
It's one reason why I personally never pull down other people's source to 'see' how they did it.
Agreed. I wasn't citing the practicality of the idea, rather, the intent.
I'm wondering what the hardware manufacturers are going to do - will they continue to offer 'normal' products like they do now ( HDD's, MB's ) without such devices built in - or, will they be forced to only make protected devices?
Personally, I don't see their being sufficient market forces to push HDD and MB makers into dropping the 'insecure' hardware entirely.
Yes, resolving your project/day into easially approached quanta is a big key to unlocking your productivity. Now I just have to get around to that stage.
Personally I work for myself, I am my own company. Currently I already sell quite a few licences of my application - but there's a lot more waiting out there for me if I can get my rear into Gear.
I sympathise - I'm in the same situation. I've got $$$ waiting on some new [relatively simple] features to come out in my product, but even the promise of money just doesn't kick start my zest to code.
Instead, I sit here watching slashdot hoping that someone will post a recepie for a major fog-clearing, zest inducing power juice.
Excuse my while I now go get beaten up in Tekken III by my wife.

Ah yes - Australian dollars. Most HP toners here cost $249.00 AUD and up.
So new... so so very new, my ID is much smaller than yours, so you must be superior :-P

Naturally it'll die from the

What I was meaning was, why move to 2.2/2.4/2.6 :-D

I'll be updating to 2.0.40-pre... of course

If I had mod points, I'd put you up a few - that's such a brilliantly simple, yet clearly indicative example of far off track things have gotten.

I think you should patent that method.
I'd feel more confident if the whole patent system was reworked such that the test of application was changed in such a way that it read more like:
"If no one else can figure out how the heck you do it, then you can patent it". Once you've patented it, then people can licence it off you.

There's the 18+ card for Australians - no need for a licence.
Im outta modpoints today, else I'd mod you up.

It's a good idea - and I've often wanted to do the same. Who can fund this, who can organise this?

Agreed. I wasn't citing the practicality of the idea, rather, the intent.

Personally, I don't see their being sufficient market forces to push HDD and MB makers into dropping the 'insecure' hardware entirely.
Actually, I personally interpreted it as a story not to stem the ill-will, but rather generate ill-will in the opposing camp.
Basically it's a counter 'warning' saying "P2P's can work your technology against your own intent".
Certainly I don't see it as an attempt to pacify the anti-Palladium camp.
