My last HP printer had a 157 pagecount and was on its thrid set of cartridges. I tossed it in the dumpster and bought a lexmark color laser, and it's tremendous.
I know you are being ridiculous, but who can blame them? When consumers feed their printers $4 cartridges filled with ground tires for 5 years and then it breaks, they blame the manufacturer of the printer.
Lexmark. They say what they will do with consumables and then they do it. When my printer says the cartridges are empty, they are pretty damn close to empty. It also prints nice. I like them because they don't even bother to sell retail anymore. They are for people who actually give a shit.
Fuck HP and the carcass of a company Carly Fiorina turned it into.
It seems to me that the C-level people usually just say "do this thing for the least amount of money" and it's the boot lickers in the middle who really louse things up by not having the smarts and/or balls to actually get the thing done.
Or you just test shit before you put it into production. You buy from companies who won't let shit like that happen. Cisco and Compaq/HP/Proliant/DIGITAL used to be like that.
And we have done it to ourselves. We used to be the guys in the IBM suits that worked for NASA. We rebelled against that and now we are cable tv installers.
How about getting some industrial engineers into IT to bring some kind of order to the fat, zit faced chaos? Until then, we are just worse smelling janitors and plumbers.
You are talking about users versus workers/manufacturers. I don't need to know how my heating system works to use the thermostat. I don't need to know dick-all about how shoes, cars or heating systems work to be able to use them to suit my needs. But apparently we all need to know the OSI model so we can understand the IT staff when they explain how they have once again gotten in the way of progress.

Exactly.
Cool story, dad.

The cameraman always has the copyright. It is his/hers to trade away if thet want.
Like what? Name a law.
You are right. Imprison those murdering women who have miscarriages!
True. Installing operating systems is universally acknowleged as objectively fun. Kill yourself.
Which has fuck-all to do with computer to computer commands, whatever those are.
What "routine" computer to computer command? It's a fucking switch.
You can't say that and then also say things like "ALL code has mistakes!" Want more money? Be better at your job.

It was also shitty engineering, or at least that's my position. You notice that motherboards don't have banks of capacitors anymore, don't you?

Black hats are "the bad guys". You can't claim to be a good guy when you are doing the exact same thing. There are other ways to make the point.
Exactly. When you do civil disobedience, you have to be willing to do the time. He did the right thing, perhaps the wrong way.
No, that was when computer technicians were expected to know how to solder.
One of the whole points of a high end camera is that there is (practically) no "after you hit the button" except the shutter opening. Lag is for toys.
My experience is the same- Nikon point and shoots are not great, but the DSLRs are. The opposite is true of Canon.
I shoot in RAW so I can rescue bad shots. RAW, imho, isn't for making good shots better. It's to improve the % of salvageable photos.
