The worst workaround I got was a while back with old Canon inkjet printers. I think it was with the BJC-250.
Sometime the printer would got stuck and there was no way to make it print. The led would be orange and even unplugging it would not work.
We had a whole bunch of these and they were under warranty. When we called tech support. The told us this:
Please disconnect every wire from the printer. Take the printer over your head and balance it from left to right 4 times. Put back everything ant test.
And it worked every time we did that ! The printer unstuck and began to print again.
It was really a hardware bug because we could reproduce it on each of thoses printers !
Sorry to dissapoint you, but I'm 21 and my compagny is 5 years old now... and I've been working (paid) since I was 13, that gives me 8 years in the field.
So before you judge... please think a little bit more..
I'm currently learning C++ AND Java at University Laval and I think that this is a good thing. I know that you will all say that Java is slow and everything, I was thinking this before I started to learn it. Now I see big potential in it. From a technical point of view, it really interesting because of all the things you can do with it.
And if you think it's slow, just help make a native compiler for it so it will have the same speed than C++. (Work have already begun on such project so you just have to join)
Beside that, what language would you like to learn in University ? FORTRAN or COBOL ? Those are the C and C++ of yesterday. Schools look at the future, not the past ! (At least they try to do so !)

You should use SVG for that. And if you have a touch screen, you could sign directly on screen and send it back to the server.
