The market has a solution for this. Buy Canon printers instead of Lexmarks. Canon lets you refill their cartridges, and they let other people sell compatible cartridges. Consequently, even genuine Canon cartridges are cheap.
All the canon printers i've been involved with were as cheap as their ink cartriges. They are on the same list as Lexmark for having crap equippment. I also print out photos--a 40 dollar clearance printer will not cut it for me. The HP 960C I paid under 200 bucks for (several years ago) is still going strong. Ink is expensive, But I have yet to see another decently performing solution
While posting that account isn't strictly illegal, (neither is posting plans for a potato gun) it's a good thing he didn't mention any names. Cannons like that have been illegal for ages. I know a friend who had a smaller one like that confiscated, along with all his firearms and knives after he (stupidly) shot off a powder cannon inside city limits.
Some cops might be lenient on the ol spud shooters, but this thing could deliver serious destructive power if it had a mind to
I'm a student at UNC-C...I walked by that projector twice a week for a few months, noticed it was cyrillic alphabet on the sculpture...to my knowlege no one in day to day life has any clue what the thing is, or that its even a code
Seems like a simple patch to the OS would have everything reporting based on powers of 1000. As a side benefit, I'd get my "missing" 14 GB of space back on that new firewire drive.
How would changing the way the computer reports how many bytes are on your drive acually change the amount that are there? You'd have the same amount of storage, the number would just be larger because your OS is dividing by a different integer to arrive at it. All programs would still have to use base2, as well as the filesystem itself. What's the point?
This is not Silly Putty, or anything like it. I'm sick and tired of people saying that the glue and borax formula makes it, when in fact it produces a slimy concoction most similar to the Gak that Nickelodeon markets. The result of the recipe posted will make a slimy, sticky, greasy blob of crap that will dry out in a few days
Does that mean that unless i put a "no trespassing" sign on my door you can come into my house uninvited? Even though the street from which you entered is public property?
"It's not like we were doing anything illegal," said Torres. "This is a 12-year-old girl, for crying out loud.
Emphasis mine.
Plenty of people are quite simply ignorant of the fact that downloading music for which you havent already paid for is indeed illegal.
That's not to say I approve of filing suit against a preteen. I'm also fairly certain that Kazaa has up in big black letters somewhere as a CYA that downloading copyrighted music is bad, mmkay.

My apartment complex had its entire network shut down for a bout four days as more and more people moved in. The connection went from about a 5 megabit pipe down to nothing as DCOM exploits and pings from all and sundry IP addresses saturated the line. Sygate firewall was blocking in the area of 300Kbit/sec of broadcast traffic for a few days, then they shut the whole thing down. To make matter worse, the whole complex is one unpartitioned LAN, there are diff. subnets but no routers controlling broadcasting and etc
Only the well funded private schools provide labs full of Macs anymore.
You had better tell that to the University of North Carolina (Charlotte) so they can clear out their graphic design labs full of macs. They might even get rid of the engineering labs that run Sparcs too
I know two friends of mine who bodybuild heavily. Both are on HIGH protien diets and creatine.
Odor? Yes. They fart. Alot. It smells like rotten meat--which it is, really, all the protien they injest that doesn't get anything done with it. Dunno if creatine adds to the problem, but i can tell you that a high-protien diet is part of the issue.
The seatbelt analogy is good, but flawed, because seatbelts don't actually interfere with your driving (as the firewall interferes with surfing)
easily configurable or not, the only way you'll get Joe Luser to use a firewall is if a) it comes installed and doesnt screw things up b) he actually educates himself about his computer and how it works on the internet. Since B will never happen...
I agree with an earlier post, though. Everyone who says "Linux isn't ready for your grandma" should be forced to do community service cleaning this crap up. AND maybe doing weekly patches on all the Wintel machines in his/her neighborhood. AND maybe making sure certain ports are closed on those same PCs.
Good idea. Afterwards, everyone whos says Linux IS ready for your grandmother can spend their days supporting Granny when she wants to know why Widget wont work, or how to install an email program, or why she cant do her banking online anymore.
Slashdotters whine and bitch and whine and bitch about big brother, and here an upstanding geek volunteers to put a sensor right in the middle of his yard which will be networking with thousands of others and collecting information of sorts we really wouldn't be able to verify.
It's free as in you don't pay cash for it. That is free enough for 90% of computer users. The 10% this would annoy have probably already found another media player anyway

Somehow I doubt Washington state will be terribly eager to fine what is probably the biggest company and largest source of jobs inside its borders...
Sooner or later though, Xbox development will be discontinued and you'll have to buy the latest gizmo if you want to play more games

Most slashbots are probably familiar with price wars in computer hardware....perhaps we'll see some with regard to CD prices.
Would be an interesting situation where one could get an artist's release from two different labels, so there would be real competition between them.

Fast good crist image means nothing if you're still using a low-resolution crappy TV (which probably 75% or more of gamers are)

People turn the firewall off because it interferes with lots of things--file sharing, gaming, IM'ing and etc.

some eMachines at least, because the one my father got for his business had it on there in all its hijack-your-system glory. Until i got rid of it.
