The printers from Zebra are very good. You can use the desktop TLP2844 printer for almost any industrial application as well. Printing from Linux might work through CUPS somehow, but the printer language (EPL) is quite easy and depending on your requirements it might be worth writing a small app. You can take a look at this application which writes labels (barcodes and corresponding numbers on small lables, source code available): http://www.emilda.org/index.php?q=emilda-print
Microsoft CES Torrent

CES Tidbits

· Score: 5, Interesting
In case you missed Microsoft's less than successfull opening event on Wednesday, hosted by Conan O'Brien and including two full system crashes and other glitches, the torrent is still available on my blog.
Some good laughs in there (not only Conan's perfomance).:)
The cc TLD has had that service running for as long as I can remember. It's just a way to buy an unregistered name, not a search engine like SiteFinder. Even though I highly dislike these kinds of unstandard solutions, it's much better than SiteFinder was.
Put up a VideoLAN Server (VLS) and stream away. I have a box set up here at home to stream a mulicast feed so that I can watch TV in every room (with a computer). Works like a charm.
Maybe your ISP has a _good_ spam filter. I've tried to be careful with my e-mail address but I can get up to a 100 spam messages a day. Only 1 or 2 might get through my SpamAssassin to my inbox, but I still get alot. I use user-somethingspecific@domain as my address, so I see exactly where my spam comes from (usually). Mostly it's stuff apparently gathered from the web, sites and usenet are typical. And people with Outlook who have my address in their address book tend to be a problem;-) If you honestly don't get anything at that address be extremely happy and use it with care!
When IPv6 is mainstream, it works in the same way as IPv4 did. Your ISP gives you your IP addresses. The big problem today is that IPv4 addresses are valuable, your ISP will give you as few as possible and often dynamic. If you have more than one device on your network you will probably have to use NAT to get Internet connectivity to all devices, but that means the NATed devices can't fully utilize the net.
IPv6 brings a new addressing system. The first 64 bits of the address is "the address to your network". The remaining 64 bits are for the devices on your subnet. So the idea is that when you get IPv6 Internet from your ISP via let's say ADSL, you're given a 64 subnet, meaning all your devices have unique IP addresses on the global Internet.
Since most ISPs don't give IPv6 connectivity yet, you can get it via tunnelbrokers which give you connectivity and addresses, using IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels.

I hope they are not using caller-id to "pair" the devices... Actually, that might be kinda fun :)
Previous Slashdot article.
What about your 'To Do' List?
http://php-todo.sourceforge.net/
Add the follwing line in your sources.list:
:)
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
then
atp-get update && apt-get install acroread acroread-plugin
Couldn't be easier, it even adds a menu entry
And in Finland we get 24 Mbit ADSL2+ for 63 EUR / month (no cap). ;)
My thoughts on this.
The third time I post this comment, but here goes (worth the download):
Torrent of the entire show on my blog.

Well, it is a Microsoft video. I don't see any reason they would make it available in another format. Besides, it plays fine in Xine among others.
There is a torrent available of the entire video at this blog.
The torrent tracker host is down.
I've put up a secondary tracker at http://tracker.ftlight.net/.

All the slides are now mirrored too.
e /linux-userguide-sxi.torrent
There's also a new torrent for the slides at:
http://ftp.ftlight.net/pub/mirrors/linux-userguid
All OpenOffice files and PDFs are now available.
Both torrents are up and running.
I'll try to get the presentations up as soon as possible too.
Sorry, my bad. First time I publish a torrent ;-)
Should work now, you have to redownload the file. New tracker.
To update on the situation, all sxw files are present and the sxw torrent is alive. Downloading pdfs.
I've set up a mirror at http://ftp.ftlight.net/pub/mirrors/linux-userguide /.
e /print.html.
e /linux-userguide-sxw.torrent for OpenOffice files ande /linux-userguide-pdf.torrent for PDFs.
The original page with links is http://ftp.ftlight.net/pub/mirrors/linux-userguid
Files are still being downloaded, you can see how many are present from the first link.
Torrents will be available when downloads are complete at:
http://ftp.ftlight.net/pub/mirrors/linux-userguid
http://ftp.ftlight.net/pub/mirrors/linux-userguid
And doing that earlier this week would also give you KDE 3.3.0... Go figure ;)

"Here I thought that Mozilla was going to standardize on 1.7"
They are, that's why they haven't released a stable 1.7 yet! Ever heard of QA?

I load up my phpToDo page, always see my important todo stuff before doing anything else. Has worked for me for years.
