    Copiers are definitely useful. Probably 90% of my printing is copying stuff.

  5. Re:This used to be the case in the past... on Epson Is Trying To Kill the Printer Ink Cartridge · · Score: 1

    This. I wasted about $50 in ink trying to print one friggen page. Went out the next day and bought a $450 all-in-one color laser printer. Best $450 I ever spent. I changed the toners once in 7 years for a total of about $55. Its got an ethernet port (networkable) and takes 15 seconds to start the first page. Obviously I don't print a lot of stuff, but the printer doesn't give me problems when I take 6 months off from printing. I bought an OkiData C5200n.

  6. Re:Talking points? on Clinton Plan To Power Every US Home With Renewables By 2027 Is Achievable · · Score: 1

    We absolutely did NOT shrink the deficit to zero. In 1998 Clinton and Congress got the budget to BALANCE, once. That is they took in as much as they spent. That had absolutely no effect on the deficit other than that it didn't add to it. But under no accounting scheme did Clinton or anyone else in the 100 years get rid of the deficit.

  7. Re:Experienced test pilot? on Poor Pilot Training Blamed For Virgin Galactic Crash · · Score: 1

    This. It makes sense to unlock the feathers early for the reason you stated. It was probably not thought about in the cockpit at the time, that unlocking them NOW would cause them to deploy NOW. All aircraft have some engineering compromises and this apparently was one of them. Unfortunate as it is, now we know.

    I wonder what Mr. Torvalds will do when it comes to light that some web server somewhere is hosting a website that has a Confederate Flag .jpg on it..

  9. Re: same hardware on How Windows 10 Performs On a 12-inch MacBook · · Score: 1

    You can in fact run Mac OS X on a non-Apple piece of hardware. Hackintosh is how it's done. I am unsure of the legality of running OS X on non-Apple hardware due to EULA, but it is entirely possible and there is a small cottage industry around building non-Apple Macs.

    Can't believe these politicians are still thinking its the 1950s.. The future is here, we should embrace it.

    As much as people poop on Microsoft I have to thank them as well for making computers so popular and giving me a life long job and hobby that I have used to support my career and family. Thank you Microsoft!

  12. Nearly 3 parts in a million on UN Study Shows Record-High Increases For Atmospheric CO2 In 2013 · · Score: 1

    So, according to the World Meteorological Organization, the entire earths atmosphere increased in CO2 and Methane at a rate of ... 3 parts per million. Really.. How was this measured? The WMO states that they have measured the atmosphere so accurately that they can account for 2.9 parts per million increase? 2.9 parts in a million.. They somehow measured this, in the entire planet's atmosphere? Really.. There is no chance that this increase is simply a mathematical rounding error? Statistical error? Someone added 2.9 parts to a total of a million parts that were being counted? This all implies that humans are causing this increase. The article doesn't say why 2.9 parts per million increase (if that is even realistic) is a problem. 396 parts per million is just a number. Nothing happens when it gets to 400 parts per million. Or 4000 parts per million. Unless that change is overnight (which I presume the article was not suggesting), then the problem is not a scientific one - its a political one. I still find it hard to believe they published this under the guise of global climate change and their evidence is.. 2.9 parts per million. Over the entire planet.

    I use Sonar X3 Studio ($150) and its excellent. Every DAW is different of course, and I've been using Sonar for a decade. You can get Sonar X3 for $99 or opt for the higher end versions for more money.

  14. Re:Don't stop innovating keyboards yet, please on Stop Trying To 'Innovate' Keyboards, You're Just Making Them Worse · · Score: 0

    Please!! A backlit ergo Natural 4000 keyboard would be perfect. I actually use two keyboards - one is my Natural 4000 the other is for night time gaming (Logitech backlit one). I would love to have a backlit Natural keyboard.

    I agree on the Microsoft Natural 4000 ergonomic keyboard. I had an old MS ergo keyboard and when it died I bought the Natural 4000 and it's the only keyboard I really like to use.

  18. Re:And this is why the USA is in trouble on Malware Is 'Rampant' On Medical Devices In Hospitals · · Score: 0

    Problem is, even when the ED bills you, you don't have to pay. Most of these people (those who go to the ED thinking it's free) don't pay the bill. Big deal, you get sent to collections. We're not talking normal people here. We're talking those who routinely abuse the system. They don't pay the bill and don't care. The ED by law must service them whether they pay their bill or not. So, essentially, it IS free. To them.
