I have a Z-52 hooked up to my Linux box at home. Works great! And Lexmark does have Native Linux drivers out for their printers. At least mine, anyway. I can't speak for other models. Tey come in RPM form, so if you're not on a RPM based Distro, Alien should be your friend (I'm on MDK so that is untested...).
Granted, it's been close to a year since I've ran Win* at all, but last time I did (on 98, NT, and w2k), I saw my name, product ID and everything of that nture, go flying by. Why you didn't notice, I can not say. All I was here to say was that in my experience (a NetAdmin of about 70 or so machines, I've seen it on every one of them.
Every one.
Again, I can't say why you're not seeing this, but I've seen it with every OS (minus 3.1x and XP (since I refuse to touch XP)).
This is VERY VERY true. There is an app called RegMon It is basically a tail -f of Win registry hits. If you run this app (or a similar one), run it and go to WindowsUpdate (with IE of course...:-)). You will be afraid.
You'll see your full (registered) name, product ID, unique ID's, everthing about your machine and you being accessed by the prompt that says "No personal information is being sent to Microsoft".

Umm, Counter-Strike ?? by far THE most played mod EVER.
I don't doubt that. That's all I've seen online for a couple years now. "CS anyone?" "Anyone up for CS?" etc.
But after having played CS and HL a few times, I think the engine blows chunks. The Q3 engine is far superior to the HL/CS engine. A LOT of doors and such just don't render right (sometimes the door is there, sometimes it's not depending on what angle you're viewing it at), things like that. I just don't see what the draw to CS is. I personally feel the UI is inferior as well. Hell, I can't even asign my right button to be strafe. HowTF am I supposed to use one hand to dodge, jump, aim, fire without going all over my keyboard (and no, I'm going to buy a 15 thousand button mouse to play one game). Maybe it's just me though. I just prefer id's design, I guess.
I'm downloading Urban Terror right now. It looks promising. On top of that, it uses (IMHO) the best engine out there (well, for the sake of arguement, you get my point...).
...I'll have to agree. My son loves to play on Caillou's page. Specifically the Find Gilbert page.
The problem? On IE, there are sounds that play ("Caillou's talking to me, Daddy!"), but here on Konqueror, it doesn't play the sounds. So, bringing this back on topic, it's the sounds and flashy type stuff, that I personally find VERY annoying at times, that he loves.
Kids dig that stuff. Unfortunatly, if some add pulls it off right, he'd be clicking...
(P.S. He's not even 3 yet, so it's not much of an issue right now, but you see my point)
i.e look at this wonderful free OS, but we cant keep it going unless the users pay for it.
Wow. and this is getting modded up...
Anyway, you must have an IQ about equal to your shoe size. You're arguement against all this is the EXACT FREAKIN' POINT. If we (MDK users/Linux community) don't give them a few bucks here and there, how the hell do you expect them to keep a office building open to even TRY to figure out how to keep their programmer's bellys full?
Geeks dont make good sales people.
And pigs don't fly. Why do you think they have a marketing department? Do you think the packagers (or whomever) are making these decisions?

Still, I do still think that the DMC-12, was the best bet. Too bad Emmet Brown didn't get to finish his reasoning before Eintsein came roaring through the shopping mall's parking lot.
Why bother downloading 8 images when most of the stuff isn't going to be used?
Even some of us "Linux"-heads are still hancuffed to modems. I'll have to wait for CheapBytes to get 'em and go from there. 50 meg of KDE3 overnite isn't a big deal. A gig or two....
I'll have to jump in and second this. I've always had pretty poor handwriting, but the past (better part of a) decade or so, I've been finding myself barely able to write at all. I've had a keyborad under my fingers since I was 8 or 9 or so (Commadore 64, w00t!) and I'm 28 now.
I don't consider myself a good typist, but I do consider myself a good "keyboarder". I personally feel that is two different things. I feel it far more "natural" to type than I do hand write. On top of that, I feel it more natural to hit CTRL+ESC to push the Start button than I think it is to click on the damn thing.
Maybe that's part of why I like *NIX as muh as I do now. I miss the old DOS (Commadore, Apple ][, OS/2, whatever) days. I feel typing is more natural to me than writing is.
Thanx for the stuff today. Really, man. In some small way I think we all needed that. Too bad it lead me to stop at the beer distributor on the way home, but that is another story...

With the nice plush couches and drinks available, I trust they aren't the only motions she'll be doing...

Just use WheatoniX and never worry about security concerns again!

Wait...
nevermind.
This also applies to their printers.
Don't forget about Lexmark.

Hey, at least he remembered to close his /I tags this time...

God DAMN I wish I had mod points. You'd get them all, my friend.
Thank you!
