For all those who missed it, it's a line from the Rocky Horror Picture Show where one of the main characters goes into a rant about a laser being some kind of "audio-vibratory-physio-molecular transport device" (at which point the whole audiance yells out "THEN IT'S NOT A LASER IS IT!"

Hey, while they're at it, maybe they can make a law making it illegal to shut down webservers so that people can get those electronic packets. Don't they have rights?:P
I've done the "fill it yourself" and the "let our company fill it for you" and the "Recycled compatible".
At the end of the day, I use new, sealed 3rd party cartridges, but you have to do your research. I've had a Canon 4200, Epson 880 and now a Brother 420cn, All using these new, sealed cartridges bought off of ebay for around 2.00 each including shipping. They come sealed, they last years (found a canon one after 4 years, working without a hitch) and are at a price I find acceptable.
I print "photo quality" pictures often enough and they still hang on the wall behind glass and no-one knows they're printed. I think the REAL trick is to:
1. print off at least 1 page of color/b+w a week (I setup a macro where it will print 1 test page a week whether I'm there or not).
2. Don't use refillable cartridges, and
3. get printers that are having good use by people using these 3rd party cartridges. (research!)
I use the printers for business too, never a problem with print quality. And before someone says "it's because you use it all the time" those old canon and epson printers went to family (replacing lexmarks!) and they RARELY print anything, but that trick on printing a page a week does wonders.
I've taken a look at it and think it's WAY better than MSN Mail for a feature-to-feature comparrison. It's faster, and just flows a lot better without any annoying banner ads.
Gmail is for plain mail. Yahoo seems to be for those who want the outlook emulation via web-browser. Gmail never captured my interest in the look/feel of an outlook replacement.
Yahoo has a way to go to get me to switch, but for a yahoo-hater in the past like me, I have to give them a thumbs up for the effort.
I can't find anything on google about it, but there was a tale of an experiment where a man went into a greenhouse and hacked up all the plants.
A bunch of scientific equipment was setup to measure plants behaviour/electrical impulses.
They then had 10 people walk through the room and when the man who hacked the plants entered the room the plants sent off strong/furious signals.
I always wondered if this was a true experiment or urban legend...but with this species of plants sensing different kinds of chemicals, it just might have been real.
It's the TYPE of phishing that should be investigated and judged. If I verify my contact info with the bank after an elaborate security hole makes it LOOK like the bank even after typing in the bank's direct web address, yes I think I should be protected under some umbrella of some insurance policy somewhere. (BTMK, in canada, our accounts are insured up to a certain limit, separate from the banks insurance)
If I GIVE authorization for someone to take the money, no, the responsibilty lies on me.
This is mainly to complain about it being prohibited ALL DAY SUNDAY AND STAT HOLIDAYS.
Are you trying to tell me YOU'VE never done a noisy thing (Like cut your grass) on a sunday or stat holiday? What about playing music on father's day in the backyard BBQ?
Of course I'm not running powertools pre-7am or even 9am, I like to sleep in too ya'know.
Oh yeah, in Canada. They'd never get a bylaw through that would Ban:
Toys with electric motors (explain THIS to a powercar kid)
Prohibited: 9pm-7am, and before 9am on Sundays and stat holidays.
Loudspeakers or other amplification devices
Prohibited: 11pm-7am and before 9am on Sundays and stat holidays.
Release or venting of air, steam or other high pressure noise creating material (But that's when I have all the good fights with my wife!)
Prohibited: 11pm-7am and before 9am on Sundays and stat holidays.
Loading or unpacking containers of materials (You listening people who move in too late over a weekend?)
Prohibited: 11pm-7am and before 9am on Sundays and stat holidays.
Using any power-driven device Prohibited: 7pm-7am, and before 9am on Sundays and stat holidays. (Sorry Granny, You have to walk)
Power tools, lawn mowers, (excludes snow blowers) (WTF, you're ok with Snowblowers which are 10 times as loud, but I can't get cracking on a backyard project on the few days I get free time?)
Prohibited: 9pm-7am and before 9am on Sundays and statutory holidays.
Security alarm running for more than 5 minutes. (Crooks will LOVE this one)
Prohibited: at all times, seven days a week.
Vehicle repairs (Sorry hobbyist, you can't work in your garage until everyone's at work. You have a job too? Oh boo-hoo)
Prohibited: 9pm-7am, all day Sunday and statutory holidays.
Playing loud music
Prohibited: 11pm-7am, and before 9am on Sundays and statutory holidays
Now this is how I see it. Most people like me who have projects to do around the house and in the backyard NEED stat holidays to actually get to the projects. I can't believe the government went and snuck this into a completely separate bylaw brought up by old people who hated barking dogs.Yeah, this would NEVER happen in Canada.
My bad, I should have elaborated. I did the searching, I posted on forums, I googled, I asked, I read, I took two weeks trying to do the simpliest conversions graphically.
I really wanted a GUI based conversion app. The other two links came up in my initial search but I didn't get far because I couldn't convert the files I had (trying to make a SVCD for my mother).
FFmpeg is not so simple from a new user point of view. Not as easy as I had on windows, and because I had the need to create SVCD's regularly for family (by converting, using tmpgenc, and spitting on vcd's once in the right format) I got quite frustrated and never even gave the other two the chance.
Well hopefully you understand my plight and can assist, otherwise my original reason for abandoning ubuntu remains valid:(
Weekly reboots, weekly defrags, weekly backups (nightly incremental), only installed critical security updates, use a router, used a snadbox to "test" software until I knew I wanted it on the main system and was sure it played nice, ran logs against installed software and manually cleaned up old ones, ran mydocuments on a separate drive, used low resource apps, ran firefox since it was a wee baby......but tcp/ip stack buffer errors? Like how is that a power user's forte? Isolate the offending set of apps? it was any of them. No, I'm afraid I was giving a "well it was time to reformat anyway" argument too many times. I formatted alright. Right into Ubuntu and I haven't been sorry yet. But then again, I was ready for a change because of a "pain". That's an important part. I was experiencing "pain". That's what makes customers look elsewhere. You can only call tech support so many times before you dump the app.

Big Store support. Dell wouldn't support me if I did that.
I will never get used to all the damn registry edits (ok config edits) at the command line level to do things.
I'd love to call Dell and ask, why can't I copy files to \\root?
I used to have more time to play around learning, now I just want it to work the way I expect it to.
Damn aging.

They don't signal.
They don't follow street laws
They tailgate people at night to "nudge" people into doing wrong.
So it's caught on camera you say? So they object you say?

Oh that's right, when I switch to Linux and was running great until I hit THAT brick wall, the linux community told me, just use line editors.
Right, I'll just packup my ability to easily and graphically edit all my home movies because linux says so. I don't think so.
So now that I got your attention, help me switch BACK to linux by showing me a decent graphical video editor. (Please and thank you)
