If you can't find anyone who wants a perfectly cromulent printer, find a way to recycle it. I used to use Greendisk, but now my town holds semi-annual electronics recycling. If your locality doesn't, bug them about it...it's much more practical to recycle in bulk, and you'd be doing a really good deed if you could get it implemented.
For those of you disappointed by this announcement

Why would you want the withdrawal and balance check to run concurrently?
Because it might be too much trouble to get both processes to run on the same node. With proper barriers, you can make sure they get run in the correct order.
While I think Wikipedia could use more editing by experts, I don't know that this is the way to do it. When I checked out the site earlier, one of the pages featured was Steve Pantilat, M.D.. The expert on this individual? Steve Pantilat. Wonder how many critical edits of Steve Pantilat will make it past the editor.
Although the 'S' was not technically an abbreviation and therefore did not need to be followed by a period, Truman's full name was generally rendered as 'Harry S. Truman' during his lifetime, and Truman himself used letterhead bearing the name 'Harry S. Truman' and signed his name with a period after the 'S,'
That's funny, a couple of hours ago, I heard a sports talk radio host (Tony Kornheiser) use google as a verb when telling his assistant to look something up. This from a guy who refers to computers as "e-mail machines".
Someone once told me about a job interview he had at Microsoft. This was circa 1992. One of the questions they asked him was, "Why is there no eject button on VCR remote controls?" He was proud of himself for knowing the answer. "Because if you're going to eject a tape, you're going to have to get up anyway to do anything with it, so it's unnecessary." Microsoft was pleased with his quick-wittedness, and he got the job.
Two things bothered me about this question and expected answer. One, there are VCR remote controls with eject buttons. (My parents had one at the time, and I thought it was great.) Two, there are valid reasons to want to eject a tape without wanting getting up. For example, you may have just taped something really good that you want to be sure not to tape over accidentally. Eject the tape, and your chances of doing that drop. Also, many VCRs take several seconds to eject a tape (I don't know, maybe they're checking to make sure they're not playing it at the time). By ejecting the tape from the comfort of your seat, it'll be all ready to put away when you get up there.
This story, to me, explains a lot of Microsoft's behavior.
Links, please? I'd like to know where you got all this information, because frankly, I don't believe it.
How about a later slide from the same briefing quoted in the writeup to support the idea that we're running out of oil?
EIA estimates that, based on recent USGS estimates of the global oil resource base, worldwide oil production is likely to continue increasing for more than three decades.

No it won't..

They've give you the option to put your own version of Gmail back into beta, you know, if you're into that sort of thing:
