    To reply instead of moderate.

    A cocoa interface is 10x differnt than a X11 port.

  6. Re:Deskjet service tip on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This little ribbon is called the "Encoder Strip."
    It allows the printer carriage to understand where it is in the universe on that X plane it travels on.

    A quick call to HP tech support will generally suggest this as a fix. Hope your in warranty!

    Becareful when you clean it, ordering and replacing one can be quite difficult.

  7. Re:Printers, feh! on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    Deskjet 5550's do this.
    and so do other lines of HP printers. You will notice when you put an Ink cartridge in, and it does an automatic calibration page.

    Photosmart 5550's, 7350's, some of the AIO lines. etc.

    If used to blow up air crafts it's all fair game, any biproduct of the explosion wouldn't matter.

  13. Buying one.. on Apple 12-inch PowerBook G4 Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've set a date of May 28th to buy a 12" Powerbook. I wouldn't mind at all a 17" version, and I'd get the 15" version if it used DDR ram. Anyone justify getting the 15" version spite of the lack of DDR/Airport Extreme? Airport Extreme is kewl, but I probably won't use the G side of it outside of work, and I probably won't even use it then.

    filler songs? oh! crapy bands.
    It's been awhile since I sat down and listened to a full cd of a band I really like and said to myself "Only the songs that are played on the radio are good. These other ones suck."

  21. Re:Unsolicited advertising must be opt in on UK Spam Controlled by UK's Advertising Standards Agency · · Score: 1

    "To find out where the missle was, it takes where it wasn't, because it knows where it is, by where it isan't, and if you subtract where it is from where it isan't you get a coefficient about where it should be, and if its not where it should be, and it isan't where it was, and its not where it could be then, you have an error."
