I have a cheap HP 3320, and it's refillable. I have a Samsung ML1430 (laser), it's refillable... an Epson Stylus Color, it's refillable.
Basically, if the cartridge has holes in the top, it's refillable. Well, granted that there aren't any wierd chips attached to the cartridges. Of course, you can always look at this at the store.
Samsung, and HP both have FS/OSS support. Epson.. well... their printers are supported, but I haven't seen any code from them.
Perhaps one day good business decisions will contain the one part of BUSN115 class that most people sleep through... the moral responsibility of business to the community.
You do realize that all a razor consists of is two angled cuts, with some metal stamped out... right?
calculating the correct angle is an engineering task... after that, it's just a matter of setting the machines (which they've had since they've started) to cut at that angle, and set a different stamp tool for the body stamp-outs.
It's not that complex, honestly. If more than one metalurgist was hired to do this task, I swear we need to revamp the teachings.
Could join it to Megan's law, force SUV owners to place a sign on their front lawn 'environmental disaster area lives here'.
I'd consider that a little slanderous considering how many el caminos, camaros, chevelles, darts, and other vehicles are driving around that put out more toxins than 10 SUV combined. Besides, SUVs have to live up to the same environmental guidelines as any other vehicle. It's not like they are immune or something.
This requires me to take down a machine that serves a database, webserver, and as a fileserver. Yes, I play games on a machine like that. Why? because I'm not rich... and it's not buggy:P Thank god for 32-bit operating systems that don't crash when an application does.
It would also require me to purchase future releases of Windows. I don't want to do that, considering my house will be Windows free in another year or two. It's a slow weaning process because I have a wife who uses windows applications and I need to teach her how to use OpenOffice, etc. Rebooting a perfectly good system just to play a game is like repainting your car when all you needed to do was put wax on it.
You can name the file x.ihaveareallycoolsong as far as the decoder cares. You don't have to use.ogg as the extension, it's just a thing alot of people do.
Europeans are like that too.. hell, most of the world is like that.
Let's run a tangent here, a parallel tangent. lol... You were given an automatic transmission, in seperate peices, with a book showing what each part depended on. Now, it would take you about 3 weeks to actually figure out how each peice goes together with the next.. and that's just to try it out in your car to see if that's what you want. Now, on the other side, there is a person selling an automatic transmission with installation included in the price, for 500 dollars/US. Which would you jump for? I know myself, I would go for the installation and the transmission package, because 3 weeks is equiv to about +$1500-$2000 of my time, not to mention mental anguish from the stress of learning an automatic tranmsission inside and out before using it.
It's the same deal... try to keep your eyes open, and not call a person lazy because they'd rather trade goods for services. It's a market economy, and it works. Maybe your government should beta test it:)
The tighter compression is just a pretty little add-on I will admit. With the harddisk space reaching 160 gig on IDE, a 1 meg savings isn't squat. So your right, who cares about compression.. but it's there, so deal.
As far as who cares about slicing the layers to play at a lower bitrate? I'd say anyone who does webcasting, or even the future when you multicast to a variable number of people, each with different regions of bandwidth. Look further than your computer...
who cares about patent and copyright issues? Obviously anyone other than you. Not to mention that you can produce a player without licensing a codec, making it a great add-on to a DVD player or other electronic device.
To add icing to the cake, OGG takes less CPU to playback than MP3 (most of the CPU time is in the creation) which makes it great for embedded systems.
Here's a clue: no-one except the ogg-loving no-lifers on Slashdot. The rest of the world is perfectly happy with mp3, thanks.
That line makes me laugh... It was only merely a few years ago when I was playing MP3 and everyone was saying, "no one except computer-loving no-lifers care about MP3. The rest of the world is perfectly happy with tapes/cd, thanks".
MP3 was a great bouncepoint into the digital realm, and it will go the same route as VOC, and MIDI. Sure, both still exist, and have their places, but technology advances. Stay with the times, my anonymous friend. Try not to let the waves wash you away...
And just FYI, the time it actually takes to use OGG is the same it takes for MP3. Well, it takes 30 seconds longer to encode, but I usually encode at CD quality.
Wow, all of that, and I have a family/job/pets and a semi-active lifestyle... I must be some immortal. (rolls eyes) No-lifers.. talk about a stereotype.
Now we have Firebirds and Caminos...is this going to become a trend?
Probably... Just waiting for Mozilla's codebase to be sleeked down, given a supertight executable after compile, adding in custom register enhancments in the code, and access to the actual stream in real time. Then we can call it Capri XR2. Of course, it will only be available for 3 years, after which the Open Source community will disregard all calls for support of this product. At least in America... the Australian OSS community will continue to product patches and export them to America.
(Obligatory reference to Ford/Mercury of America dropping dealer parts being made for the 91-94 Mercury Capri product line... but Ford of Australia continuing production of new parts.)
Nope, no technical differences other than a little tighter compression, being able to "slice" the layers in order to play at a lower bitrate instead of reconverting to a lower bitrate, and being free of patent or copyright issues.
Nope... might as well use MP3. (sarcasm) Everything I have on my system is Ogg... and I run Windows and Linux.
When I was looking for work and had no net connection at home, I went to use the library systems once a day to look at monster.com and other sites. I had a laugh one day, because our library here uses some filtering software called cybersitter or something. I was allocated a computer by this woman librarian (keep the gender in mind) in her early 30's and I walked over to it. there were some minimized browser sessions open so I rightclicked to close them, then all of them popped up at once onto the screen. Let's just say there were 4 or 5 different sites open, each with their own popup ads, and they ranged from lightly pornographic, to things that would disgust even me. Now, politely I walked over to the librarian and told her that I could not close the browsers because it kept restarting, which was very true. I swear I will never forget the look on her face, it was priceless. She turned bright red and fidgity, and just said it'd be best just to reset the system.
Great laugh internally. I'm not a jerk enough to laugh out loud.
However, today, if Sony had placed a "circumvention prevention device" on their code, that reverse-engineering would be illegal.
I guess it could be a stretch, but in todays world alot of the PS2 games are on DVD. Getting into that would be a form of circumvention since it is encrypted...
So we're screwed, legally. Well, well, we have a country of criminals now.
Not to mention rediculously expensive. When I was working at an ISP a couple years back, I was bored one day and sat down to compute the price of keeping an ISDN line connected 24/7 for a month, and it was alot more than just picking up a 256k frame relay connection.
With that logic, I can well say that Microsoft says that Linux is bad, and I'm gonna guess that Microsoft has a better idea about server software than you do.
That's very skewed logic, my friend. I see why you posted that as an AC.
The difference between a special forces covert op and a terrorist plot is that the terrorist plot is geared towards taking as many innocent lives as possible, while the special forces covert op is geared toward taking out an establishments functionality.
Big difference. Oh yes, and neutralizing opponent troop movements that would happen to be in conflict with American troop movements, if there would be any.

What exactly do you and these people you know use the printer for? Images?
You say that like it's a stupid thing to do with a printer or something.
They could put a USE BY label on the box... and/or the cartridge.
Forced expiration is a bit much. This is basically something to end the battle against the ink refill industry.
Oh, but reverse engineering a chip is illegal!
You go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dolla!
The last time I checked, ink wasn't a commodity broken down by bacteria anytime worthy of an expiration date. Milk is.
So, your argument is moot and very faulty.

sadly, I don't think OGG is *currently* known to anybody except nerds or IT pros.

And those sitting within a 50 foot radius of said group
Ironic, isn't it?

Don't be silly. Well under 2% of US citizens have ever been convicted of a felony.
:) Crimes don't all fall into felonies, either.
That's because up until the past half decade we've had halfway sane laws

Just do the damned work... it'd be easier to do the work than to go through that much trouble!

The grade breakdown goes into homework, attendance, tests, classroom participation, etc.
