I think C2D was in process for some time and Intel repurposed it simply because they had to. Not that I'm complaining, C2D seems to be a pretty competent chip in all market segments.
I do hope AMD does well soon. In retrospect, the ATI merger didn't seem to turn out so well.
The definition in the OED says nothing about rules. Actually, there are two different definitions, one with a positive connotation and one with a negative. Neither really says anything about whether or not people can take other people's freedoms in a non-government way. By the definitions of rule, it almost seems that there needs to be a ruler in some form for there to be rules, if not the form of entities or person, then in the form of the people.
I think it's kind of funny and sad that the sect that had the most progressive attitudes at the time gets the worst rap. Seriously. Puritans, compared to their conteporaries, were progressive. I've read a couple articles about this, the Church in Europe frowned on any non-reproductive copulation and they frowned on alcohol. Puritans enjoyed alcohol in moderation and sex, just within marriage. Even the bit about how they handled "witches", while unfortunate, it was very, very short lived (a small handful of cases), parts of Europe were still burning "witches" centuries later, and had been practiced in Europe to the tune of estimated hundreds of thousands of times.
I bought an issue of Discover for reading during a flight, and that did confuse me. I guess it's just a methodology issue there. I know that LiveJournal isn't "the" thing anymore, but it is pretty nice. I like the community, the parts I am in is generally far less juvenile than pretty much anywhere else.
Printed pictures tend to look nicer in color. For a lot of text, a laser does look better.
I tend to use several different printers though, depending on the task. On my workbench, I have an old workstation beast of a computer (2.2GHz Xeon) hooked up to four printers, one inkjet for pictures, one duplex laser for instructions, documents & sales slips, a label printer for mailing labels and an engraving/cutting laser. I'm thinking of buying another label printer dedicated just to printing out stamps too.
I had a POS (and I don't mean "point of sale," either) Lexmark inkjet
I feel for you. "POS" and "Lexmark" is probably redundant.
I was going to get a color Samsung laser, but I didn't because I saw too many bad user reviews. That was too bad, but I didn't want to waste time on a potential lemon.
I think your printer is probably an exception with regards to its price. HP inkjets were notoriously bad in terms of cost per page. Heck, if you print grayscale, my HP will mix in colors too. It makes the print smoother, but when I just want a print, I don't want to spend color ink on a grayscale print.
I think what was meant was that a fix is worked on as soon as possible, but I don't think that's always true. An inability to get Apple's attention on a bug is why that one guy did the Month of Apple Bugs, rightly or wrongly.
Microsoft's security fixes seem to fix smaller numbers of bugs per update. Recently, they were mostly updates to the malware removal tool, not security fixes.
I think it's kind of funny that O'Reilly was complaining about Alexa/Alexaholic when O'Reilly and Associates basically trademarked "Web 2.0" and sued anyone else that used "Web 2.0" in connection with a conference or convention.
True, it would be stupid to stop selling printers anyway. A printer in which I don't get a print in less than a few minutes isn't very useful to me.
Ink for business printers is a lot cheaper than with consumer printers anyway. That's the nature of the business, you want a cheap printer, they want you to pay for the ink. If you want cheap ink, then you pay for a more expensive printer. HP and many other companies treat their consumer products differently from their business products because they are different markets with different expectations.
I filed on a 1.2GHz notebook running Windows XP, running the first mobile Radeon chip. I really didn't have any problems performance problems, though I should have if the problem is as bad as you suggest. But I finished my work on Friday.
Science Friday had interviewed a person that had written about these problems of string theory. It's been decades since the idea has been introduced and instead of reducing the number of possibilities, it's getting more complex and there has yet to be an experiment that validates string theory predictions.
This weekend I picked up a Mac Pro, and much to my surprise, I can't run dual monitors unless both are digital.
This is Apple, they'll drop things prematurely, but I didn't know about this. I will probably test this out when I get home.
Apple dropped the floppy on their original iMac and they didn't come standard with optical writers until many years later with the G5 models. The first iMacs weren't even offered with optional writers, that didn't happen until a couple years later. The flash "thumb" drives weren't available at an affordable price either.
What sort of contract is that? A social contract? I didn't sign or click any agreement to that effect when I paid for satellite. There is no law about this that I'm aware. I actually do watch some ads when one catches my eye, but if it's an ad for something that I don't need or want, then there's no reason to harp on it, I'm not going to use any feminine product, fat buster products, or really, pretty much any drug that's on the air. I don't want those phones or phone services, I'm happy enough with what I have, no lame ad is going to tell me otherwise.
Frankly, the ads need a little variety. If the network or advertiser think I'm going to watch the same batch of ads for a month straight then they are confused.
I suppose it would be obsolete if you used Robson with a flash hard drive. The problem is that flash is still 10x more expensive than a hard drive for the same capacity. I can get a 200GB hard drive for under $200 now, someone pointed a link to a 32GB flash drive for $500. If you never need to use a lot of media, then maybe the flash drive will work for you, but the capacity is such a huge step back that it's probably not worth it except for a very few. Even for OS + applications on the flash, with other files on a separate hard drive, the flash would be too small, I use too many large programs.
Premiere was killed on both platforms. Premiere Pro was a rewrite that started out as Windows-only because the Mac market became too crowded with Avid's and Apple's product lines. It wasn't until Tiger's introduction did Apple's market share was worth supporting, Apple's market share was bleeding for many years there. I suspect that they might have to back out again because Final Cut Pro is very established now.
You can save the decades of waiting and pay a little more for a front projection system now. How do you repair a paint-on screen? Do you have to scrape the old one off before painting on a new one? Is there a reasonable hope that you can paint on a new coat in the damaged area of the old paint? If you ask anyone that does painting, they'll tell you that blending is a little hard to do.
Increasing concentration of intellectual property amongst an elite oligopoly which is working to mutate the intellectual property regulations into a force which increasingly represses expression, invention and communication and squashes competition
Did this become some sort of calling card? I don't understand why an individual needs to express themselves with other people's work. That's not all that inventive in my book. I think this is kind of like calling wearing an Abercrombie sweater as some form of original expression.
The part of competition doesn't necessarily make sense either. It's not that hard to make reasonably original works to compete with someone else's works.
I sure hope enough people cause a stink. Telling manufacturers to fix their firmware is stupid, about Sony-class stupid, I think, and Sony-class arrogant too, because DVD players weren't designed to play discs that were more defective than the standard required.
There are so many brands and models of DVD players that I just don't see Sony testing more than a small share of them and actually making a good sample. I would laugh pretty hard if people found that some Sony DVD players didn't work with their new discs.
Someone with a large collection shouldn't running all of them, but except maybe against current notebook systems, the older computers don't necessarily consume that much power. Many of them didn't even have fans, nor did they need them. Someone playing a game on some Apple II is going to be using a lot less power than a person with a desktop computer playing a current 3D game. If it makes you happy, then the Apple II is probably a lot higher on the entertainment per watt bracket.
A Cray 1 would be an entirely different story, not worth the power consumption to run, but still good for grins.
Money making shouldn't be the goal because there's a good chance that it would fail at that. That is the nature of all forms of collecting.
It is often hard to predict what will succeed. If it's an interesting but rare device, then there are chances. If it's interesting but not so rare, then your only chances to make money are if there's demand because there's a common failure mode and hope that yours doesn't succumb to that failure. If it's just rare, then there's little chance unless you find a collector that wants to complete a series of that type of device for some odd reason.

I'll take a look at your printer model though.
Did the two printer types use compatible parts?

I kinda doubt that anyone gets up in the morning and suddenly gets the bright idea to make someone else's life miserable.
Why not? There are all sorts of creative people.

Barrels too, but I thought I saw a fireball in some of the pictures.
