I got a epson 880 a while ago, and it works well with really cheap "generic" cartriges. Someone gave me a brother HL1440, which is probably even cheaper over long term, but at $8/cartrige who's to complain with the epson?
Bottom line: ignore the article, check ink sites, get printer with cheapest ink.
And with only a 2.5 year sentence that was probably simply a pizza delivery. To get any real action several senators need to be robbed, and the criminals need to be more professional. If the transaction is done just right it's not possible to catch someone... that's why identity theft is so serious.
In the book "History of your galaxy" by an anonymous alien, chapter 7 indicates that Pluto was actually stolen through a dimension trick (kind of like the hat trick you use in UT, only using antimatter and quarks).
You dont need your telescope! No, dont stop reading the book, and you really do need that tinfoil hat...
I think a lot of people are missing your point. Good thing too, it's wrong. They train for linux and Windows. An article bashing one of these products doesn't mean anything to their motives.
Only if their conclusion was correct (simply: microsoft's monopoly is costing others money) would they wish to come out with an inflammatory article.
We both know that mistakes can be done without motive, and that sidebar does look a little childish, but who do you expect to hear from? I'm sure a K-5 student would offer advice with less ulterior motives, if he had any advice to give.
Avoiding activation because your key is illegal, would be a way to catch someone. A cracked activation will still work with windows update, you just have to make sure you have a good license first. This is a really useful way to use the evaluation version of M$'s products. Download the 690mb iso from their server, an activation hack from a forum and your ready to go.
Unmodified... any legal clause which specifies unmodified infringes on the right to personal creativity. The united states, land of the free, where you cant say what you want, cant bare arms at all in several states (and you have to be 21 and shell out cash, loose your privacy, and claim to be a hunter in the rest), and now you cant have a can of pringles.
The rant is appropriate in this case, but you can mod me libertarian anyway. In the end it comes down to this: unless you are selling those antennas, any creation/posession of those antennas is protected (ROFLOL!!!) by the constitution, usage, or resale would still be countered by the usual garbage of the FCC though.
There isn't any foundation in law for what states and counties are enforcing with wireless networks. They're just making up garbage, and as usual there's no accountability (and little intelligence) in politics.
Nobody is going to want this drive because Hitachi and IBM before them have a bad reputation for reliability. This 500GB superdrive (no, I dont respect apple's lame trademark on this name) doesn't do anything but get coolest geek on the block status, so 5% is really too high.
Segate and WD are what's hot. Hitachi is more expensive on average so they don't sell too well. If someone wants it cheap they'll go with a MDT, Maxtor, or a "refurbished" (cough) WD/Segate.
What do I care? Market factors. Having only 2 legit HD companies isn't very good for consumers, but fortunatly prices are still low for the present. If Hitachi were reading this forum (HA!) I'd be happy for them to work off my criticism.
Yeah, I'm sure people all around the world know where Los Angeles California is! LA is the proper 2 letter abbreviation for Louisiana, and LA is a state, that's more important than any city. Btw last time I checked LA has a bigger population too.
Mod this an unintentional troll. Think before you post.
Until we can effectively determine the viability of linux and what steps should be taken to bring it mainstream, people will still be coming up with random garbage for their own explanation. Dumb journalists get their garbage posted here, less dumb slashdotters post their own thesis and get a +5 insightful, others counter and get a +4 interesting... None of these posts ever answer the question, so posting articles that boast nothing special is pointless.
Before I hear from anyone on 1) Linux ready for the desktop? or 2) What's keeping linux from mainstream, I want to see some credibility. How many IT jobs have your worked in the last 5 years? How much time do you have supporting _stupid_ users (dumber than grandma bootsie)? Write a thesis on the lazyness of the average user. Hold a LPI and RHCE certification. Be good enough in perl to work for mp3.com (not a huge accomplishment, but coding is important).
Unfortunatly there's virtually nobody who meets half of these qualifications in journalism (and only about 10% of slashdot, in fact I couldn't claim all of the stuff I just listed). The only journalist I remember who at least seemed to meet all these qualifications was a writer for infoworld, who at least used to run varlinux.org He concluded that linux was ready for mainstream use! The problem isn't that linux isn't good enough the problem is the population isn't good enough. They aren't ready to handle windows as it is so why should things be any different with linux? You are supporting the platform, so you choose the platform.
I think that charging people simply for "hacking" (without any crime listed) would lead to that kind of punishment. And yeah, I'm against that. The companies have a responsibility to protect their own system, and to keep spyware out of their customers software btw.
Paying for cleanup or wasted time of normal workers is justified. That's part of the damage assesment. Security is however a responsibilty of the company, and if they're security sucks, the hackers shouldn't be paying their salary.
Think about security from the other side... as a livestock owner you are responsible to keep your beasts inside your property. If they get out, the owner is responsible for any damage.
A corporate entity could get hacked and have their website infested by activeX spyware. They then pass these beasts to consumers or shoppers of their site. This is wrong, and there's a lot more reasons why a company should be responsible for their own security.
Another reason companies shouldn't be paid for their irresponsibilty is that it breeds more irresponsibility. Law enforcement is always stuck with an irony: stop the drugs, and the money stops. Dont stop the drugs, crime, and general comtempt of their force increases.
When greed is allowed to rise from irresponsibility even in a non-profit organization, how much quicker would it take over greedy companies?
Thats just the problem, hacking as a crime is wrong, but it is whats being pushed here. With so many script kiddies being protected by wireless networks as their medium they aren't reponsible for the actual damage. Even if you prove a kid was Wardriving, you cant prove who he hacked without stealing his keystrokes, or logs... and that's preventable.
By making hacking a high degree felony no proof is required and you can just burn the perpetrators at the stake.
At this point of civilization in the US, Europe, Canada etc, new laws are just hinderances to society. The rules are already well defined and adding stuff just makes things exponetially more confusing.
Aside from that... a punishment appropriate to the damage done is impossible to determine in almost all cases. Germany got that punishment after WWI, and it almost bankrupted the whole world. There would be companies claiming a hacker should pay for their whole security team because they beat them... just like when France expected Germany to pay for their (France) own war costs.
The MPAA will hardly have any motivation to come up with a distribution system. They could but then they'd loose all theatre revenue. Theatre is distribution.
Of course you're probably wondering why I'm splitting hairs? Distribution is already available by newsgroups, and distribution lacks one thing that most p2p networks usually have. A distribution system doesn't insure that a release will be available for an extended time period. Even the most pristine newsgroup servers only provide 45 days binary hosting, and an average ISP is 4 days.
The MPAA needs to do something different to be competetive and to avoid killing theatre revenues (too much politics) so they will likely go for a middle of the road approach where a low quality DRM release is available before a DVD but after theatres.
The MPAA is against you, so they will only pretend to help you. More overall revenue is their goal and by introducing an irrelevant solution they get more revenue.
Shouldn't have been hired in the first place.

A $251 Million Typo

That's what sums up this whole article, and if she is going to be that unconcious when dealing with $251M when will she ever be careful enough for a financial job?
Do you really think a finance company this big with this non-intuitive set of software would make a job listing without requesting computer proficiency as at least a +? In a day where most of the managers of a company have about half the computer proficiency of their adolecents, who wouldn't lie about being capable of handling computers?
I dont know if this lady lied to get her job, but it seems the circumstances indicate that, and lieing to gain employment is a good way to get fired.
This is the first time I've seen a law enforcement agency show some guts in a long time. It's nice to see that spyware wont be tollerated from big nasty companies, I'd just be more happy if some law enforcement started fixing the identity insecurity problem.
Both Clinton and Nixon were impeached, there was definately something illegal going on with Nixon, but that related more to him disrespecting other polititions. Neither were tried for anything because Willy walked, and Nixon got scared and resigned.
I didn't mean to say that Nixon was a model president. The idea is he was held accountable for his actions and Clinton wasn't (both because of other polititians and the public at large.)
That's of course the most obvious (to us) answer, but I might as well throw another one because with the language you're using you probably have heard of the large numbers of stupid people here.
I'd have to say the real problem is no matter what someone is caught at, if he/she has a high profile government job, there will be no punishment. Bill Clinton got away with Grand Purgery, he even admitted that he lied before a court afterwards, and he's still touring the country selling books, making $40k/night on speeches, etc.
Yeah, there's a lot of corrupt politicians... who more to inspire them than "The Leader of the Free World" though? Maybe it was better when Nixon got impeached and pressured out of office for doing nothing.

Don't wager too much, LA (state) and (city)
So there's more greedy polititians in LA, and therefor more representation. It's also less likely they'd do anything useful in government though.
