The color is usually superior (at a given price point, it's almost always superior), and the price per print of a dye-sub is much better than an inkjet. The resolution is higher as well.
you're going to want to keep your inkjet printer for b&w document printing, because it'll be slightly faster, and much cheaper than than dye-sub for this purpose.
Microsnot, or the computer manufacturer respectively, requires that you install the provided version of WindowsXX. Which means, you can only install WindowsXX as provided from the OEM. In rare cases, the version is just different enough. YOu cannot install a COTS copy of XP if your machine came with a Toshiba OEM copy of XP.
One more reason to say "Fuck Microsoft", and use Linux. Someday, I myself might actually do that, but I'm doing well enough with pirated microsoft software (Just kidding, don't sue my ass).
Use a hard drive partition utility like partition majic to resize the partition that Windoze is on.
Reboot the computer, and verify that shit is still working.
Reboot your computer with any half-assed distro in the drive.
Use the available utilty (fdisk, disk druid, whatever) to make the appropriate swap and root partition, as well as any other desired partitions, in the available free space.
Allow the installer to install the boot manager (Lilo, Grub...whatever).
...maybe I'm just being overly sensitive to the establishments trepedition with linux (admittedly, I myself still haven't adopted it as my OS of choice, but it does reside on my computer as part of a dual boot setup with WindowsXP), but I caught this little ditty:
Should its desktop software sales stagnate or, worse, decline, Microsoft's profit could plummet, and it could find itself with a diminished ability to bankroll promising, but costly, new ventures, such as tablet PCs, smart phones and online video games.
Reading between the lines, it seems to me that there is a thinly veiled accusation that open source is a threat to free-market capitalism. Of course, free-market means competition, which forces improvement, but the writer (mostly likely paraphrasing some Microsoft exec's statement) is likening the loss of Microsoft dominance to a decline in the quality and diversity of Microsoft products.
Somewhere, somehow, the Linux community is at fault. Those of us in the know need to do a better job of making the distinction between "free" as in "free use", and free as in "no cost", and demonstrate that Linux as an OS, and other OSS products (regardless of price) actually opens the door for a more expanded market for computer programmers.
The signal is originating from somewhere in South America or the Carribean. So, even though Cuba is a bastion of evil, it's more likely coming from Al-Qaeda groups known to be operating in the large Iranian communities in and near Brazil.
Not a minus for Cuba, but it does further demonstrate Iran's hardliner link to terrorism.

...that is, Alma Gates, sixty something year old owner of the infamous "Beast" and two time world champion. She's also a friend of mine, and an honored member of teamROCS.
She ain't no punk either. One reason she got into car audio was to "get even", but then she found she loved the competition, the friendships, and the enthusiasm of thousands of young adults. That's when she formed Team Gates. She has been featured not only in Car Audio and Electronics, but has been featured in Wired (10/2000, pg 260), and named in nearly every major media outlet (Washington Post, Boston Globe, New York Times, MSNBC, TechTV). Hell, she's even been on ESPN2! Let's see Lawrence Lessig or Linus Torvalds get that kind of coverage!
...or have the lot of your forgotten? OS X is based on the BSD kernel, and most of the core concepts in OS X (i.e., Darwin) are based on Apples work in the 90's on the Mach Microkernel, which formed the basis for MkLinux, the first and only Linux ever sanctioned by Apple.
These jackasses produce crap, pure crap. I stopped buying popular music (and I suspect 90% of fileswappers out there have the same reasoning I do) because the $14.99 sticker price for an album containing 7 to 15 titles, of which an average of 3 were listenable, was simply not an economically viable idea. Thanks to iTunes, I have spend more on music in one month then in the three years prior.
Moreover, you can't convince me that these crap albums by people like Linkin Park are complete Song Cycles, so this concept of an album as a work is bunk.
...terrorists who are trying to figure out which part of the building is already under the greatest stresses. How about cyberterrorists who hack into a buildings bricks and convince them to report failures, causing expensive and dangerous repairs, or premature demolitions.
My handwriting sucked to begin with. I'm also one of those people who can think faster than they can communicate (which makes for some interesting word combinations, like today when I read a "cyst and decease" letter aloud). Typing, on the other hand, allows me to quickly express complete thoughts in fluid form, and even edit those thoughts on the fly (ala the Backspace key).
...yeah, I goofed the math...the 8000 number is for radio stations that are incorporated. The overwhelming majority of stations are sole proprietorships, joint ownerships, or 501c (public radio).
See my previous post. "mega companies" like clearchannel aren't any threat to so-called "ma and pa" outfits. Lack of content and mass appeal is what killed the ma & pa outfits in the 90's. The big boys like clearchannel provided content. Relaxed FCC rules allowed more radical local stations to up the ante on the stodgy corporate stations, and companies like clearchannel are pulling out of minor markets. Most of their stations are in cities of 500,000 or more, and a good balance of them are AM talk stations. Do you even listen to AM talk? Could you tell Dr. Laura form Rush Limbaugh from Art Bell from Sean Hannity from Michael Reagan from G Gordon Liddy from...what the hell they all look the same after a while.
Cable prices went up and I (along with many others) don't have any choice in selecting a cable provider.
Where I live now (the boonies), we can choose from Time Warner Cable or Charter for our programming, and we can still choose between digital and analog either way. We can also select between those two and Road Runner for high speed cable access. As per cost, for 58 channels and cable Internet (1.4 mbps), we pay $70 (includes equipment). Prior to 1996, we paid $60 for 40 channels and no Internet.
Now take Phoenix Arizona. I could choose between Cox (or Cocks if you've ever dealt with them) and Cable America, and prices and services were comparable at $70 for digital cable and high speed internet.
Companies like Clear Channel now own 1,200+ radio stations rather than the previous limit of 40.
Clear Channel stopped playing Dixie Chicks for making a political statement that management did not agree with.
That is complete and utter unsubstantiated bullshit. Clearchannel promoted DC and underwrote their world tour. A number of clearchannel stations which specialize in country music may have boycotted them after that stupid bitch Natalie Mains ran her mouth, but eventually the public demand forced those few music directors who made that decision to start playing them again.
As for this "defending the Constitution" tirade of yours, please remove your cephalis from your anus. This was a political decision by a corporation - which is an excercise of their free speech. The constitution protects us from the government, not ourselves. If you had actually read the constitution, you'd notice the part where it says "congress shall make now law...". It's in the Bill of Rights...the first one...if you have trouble finding it, let me know.
Stop being a liberal or a conservative: be rational and exercise common sense.
Stop being anti-capitalist and swallowing hook-line-and sinker everything you hear on SlashDot.
Deregulation is to Consolidation as Jon Katz is to Common Sense - they just don't have any corelation. In fact, if you "oh this is bad" mindsets would pull your head out of your ass, you'll see that the big media companies are actually looking to sell off their different media units. That's right, big media like AOL/Time Warner are actually going to get smaller.
Now I've got to pay for some other jackass downloading N*Sync...and do you know why? Because these university types can't fathom the concept of punishing people for committing illegal acts!
An overwhelming majority of US astronauts are ex-military types. To talk about risks...these guys would gladly bear the likelyhood of their own death if it meant the possibility of saving another. I know guys who risked their lives in combat to recover corpses - dead bodies - simply because the hunk of unrecognizable flesh they were dragging back was a fellow solider/marine/airman. If a rescue mission had been organized, and volunteers asked for, you would have had no shortage of schmoes ready to hang it out on the line.
This is pretty much the game that made me go out for Special Forces. 'Course, now that I'm out, there's America's Army, which is way better on graphics.
I really don't understand, other than egocentricity, why scientists won't admit that low-carb diets work fine. They insist on hanging on to the "calorie" which has absolutey no biological basis for measureing the energy in a food.
The conspiracy theorist in me likes to think it's because if the world knew precisely how bad these artificial and engineered foods are for you, they'd drop them right away, and the food industry would see it's profits shrink overnight.
I don't care if it's one of Wil McCarthy's Fax Gates, the Transporter on Star Trek, or the Stargate on...erm...Stargate...but when the matter that comprises your corporeal form is transported in a non-corporeal form, does it leave your soul behind? Are you really being killed, and reborn someone else? Or, does the soul instantiate itself wherever you happen to be?

Wrote a story about it....
...didn't read the moderation guidelines, or just don't know what a troll is.
...I would have bought a mac. I wanted powerful, so I bought a windows pc, then started in on linux.
Now, I realize, that I need a mac either way.
...no, but if it's worth it if you want to actually have linux reside on the same disk as Windows.
I'm sure there's a disk utility out there that will resize a partion for you that is free.

I'm still wondering how this equates to utter media domination. There are 8,539 FM radio stations, thats up from 5,665 in 1990 (that's BEFORE regulation) and the "big boys" are prohibited from owning more under the new rules anway. Major corporate radio is responsible fore less than 40% of total ownership, and people are capitalizing on the uncertain attitudes of listeners when it comes to corporate radio, thanks to demagogues like you.
That is complete and utter unsubstantiated bullshit. Clearchannel promoted DC and underwrote their world tour. A number of clearchannel stations which specialize in country music may have boycotted them after that stupid bitch Natalie Mains ran her mouth, but eventually the public demand forced those few music directors who made that decision to start playing them again.
