That's because the competition is all in selling the printer. People are too stupid to look at the printer price AND the consumeables price when they buy, so they buy the cheapest printer. I have a friend who is replacing her new printer because she didn't realize how much the toner cartridges cost when she bought it. (HP chip-enhanced, of course)
One thing this could solve would be keeping the details of the driver for a new device closed-source. That way a manufacturer could supply hardware and a built-in driver for use in Linux without having to open up the architecture to their competition.
This assumes that its not trivial to extract the details from the Obje code, of course.
Overlooked in this is that when you connect your product to the 'net to download new firmware, the product could have the ability to be able to upload as well. Who knows what the firmware in your stereo, or TV may report back about your use?
That's right. MX is where to receive mail. Lots of companies send mail from a different IP address than the delivery point.
If I send mail claiming to be foo.com, then its the A record for foo.com that you want to look up. The problem is that I usually want the A record for foo.com to point to my web page, so that you can just put foo.com into your browser without the "www." My mail really comes from something like smtp.foo.com. But I want you to reply to foo.com, so that's what I put on the From line.
You're right. It should do periodic test of your ability to focus by playing the sound of a baby crying in the back seat and checking that your steering doesn't become erratic.
There should also be a periodic eye exam for older drivers where an eye chart drops down in front of the driver and they have to read off the bottom row.
Its clearly the auto makers who are at fault in every accident by letting unqualified drivers operate their cars.
Charging for email without securing the email infrastructure is a bad idea.
Spammers don't send mail from their computers, they send from your computer. Who gets the money from this micropayment? If its the recipient, guess what? All of the spam will be directed to the spammers from the hijacked computers. Instant Powerball jackpot winner. If the ISP gets it, guess what? All of the spammers will become ISPs.
Adding a new market force just changes the dynamics, it doesn't eliminate the crime.

To be fair, RedHat says pretty much the same thing for Linux.
I meant 0.33 cents/MB above. [ no, really ] A 60GB 2" drive with single connector for $200, so its almost as portable as CF. Just need hot-swap IDE ports and a little plastic to eliminate flash cards altogether.
My 2.1G drives had stiction problems and ended up in the trash.
Flash is still on the order of 100,000 writes, but good software will write evenly and manage bad blocks. The big problem is still the 10^2 cost difference. Notebook drives are around $0.33/MB.
Companies are still adding 40%/year to their storage and filling it with what? mail, word docs, downloads off the internet.
Instead of better backup, we need intelligent agents that figure out whats duplicates or unneeded old versions and deletes it. That makes better use of the storage you have, and makes it easier to find what you need amidst the clutter.
Because every voting district has to design a ballot and get it printed and proofread it for mistakes between the time that the questions to be voted on are decided and when the election takes place. You also have ensure that no extra ballots got printed and that none got printed differently from the rest, etc. The logistics are a lot easier with e-voting. You're saving money in exchange for security. What do you think a politician will choose? How likely is it that at least one district will design an incomprehensible "butterfly" ballot?
The Hubble's orbital period is 96 minutes. Last I checked, the ocean is fairly sedentary. Your remote repair would be kind of tricky. Not saying it couldn't be done, but I wouldn't call it child's play.
I love the news media. They converted because Americans wouldn't understand how cold -273 C would be but we would have a good intuitive feel for -459 F. Heh.

hmm, nearly 1/3 of float is being shorted. Sounds like a real vote of confidence to me.
IBM short is 1% of float, for comparison.

what is the big deal about downloading java
Great. Hop over to the website and get the download for IBM AIX. Guess what. THERE ISN'T ONE. AIX competes with Sun, so no Java for you.
Java Downloads
If you want Java for AIX, go to the IBM website and get the one that't 3 revs back.
I think in Linear A, you insensitive clod.
it actually looks a lot like Perl:

"It was introduced by maintainers of the code within Borland."
So that just leaves the Sendmail trojan, which lasted how long? 8 days?

[ its all caps in the EULA, but
To be fair, RedHat says pretty much the same thing for Linux.
A search for "backdoor" in CERT advisories and vulnerabilities gets several hits for accidental or deliberate backdoors:
Alcatel Omniswitch AOS (prop)
Borland Interbase (open source)
Microsoft RPC Interface (prop)
Microsoft IE exploits (prop)
Sendmail 8.12.6 trojan (open source)
So it looks like there is some truth to the article. I would also count Microsoft Word and Excel macros as a commonly exploited backdoor.

The transmission gate is also only two transistors.
You can make muxes out of just transmission gates and inverters, and from muxes you can build any logic.
and don't get me started on JK flip-flops.
If it doesn't print other stuff correctly, you return it as defective.
I've tried doing this with "defective" DVDs that have copy protection. Its a hassle to take stuff back and get quizzed about it.
"It works OK here"
"Well, it won't play on my computer."
"Maybe your computer is defective"
and, no, I don't do filesharing.

If you count Bill Gates in the set, then the mean is probably well above the median.
