I'm very happy with my Canon PIXMA iP3000. It's got everything a comsumer would want. Separate print heads and separate refillable cartidges (for each color) that are translucent so you can actually see how much ink is left. It does duplex printing with no extra gear, does photos like a dream, and even comes with nice software. And to top it off it was only $65 with a $20 mail in rebate, can't beat that. My HP Officejet D135 would have taken way more than that just to fix. It needs a new magenta printhead and all new ink (was out on both color and b&w).
My Canon even seems stingy on using ink. My HP burned through color carts like no tomorrow even though I wasn't printing color. They're like $35 a pop or something stupid, and you can't buy separate colors. My canon has printed over 150 pages with quite a bit of color on it, and the ink level didn't even seem to flinch.
I've had similar delightful experiences with my Canon digital elph camera. I love that company.
And he DIDNT ask a question. He spread FUD. I did ask a question, my whole post was meant to be of a questioning nature. Sorry if you didn't read the whole thing missed the key phrases.
then welcome to the dark age. Yes, but in medieval times, only the military, some pioneering unversities, and a select few feudalistic kingdoms were on a network which was back then called ARPANET. Web browsers, Slashdot, and it's users did not yet exist to set me straight.
From what I thought, the reason that the Sun can support fussion is because the massive gravity of all the hydrogen pulling together slams them into each other hard enough to fuse. (more or less) Small scale fusion plants obviously won't have enough gravity to sustain a fusion reaction, so you gotta slam the atoms together some other way.
But what I don't get is when you fuse an atom, energy is released, but when you split an atom into two, energy is released as well. How is this not perpetual motion? If fusion energy was possible, couldn't you just take your nuclear waste from fission and split it back into uranium and whatever again.:)
Obviously fission works, so I'm guessing you'll never be able to get enough energy out of fusion than what you put into it.
Which actually brings up another question, where does gravity's energy come from that supports the suns fusion? What causes the force of gravity?
I'm just a computer programer though, I only took one college physics course, but still am rather curious as to how the universe works.
Yeah, but the powersuppy fan, cpu fan, gpu fan, and hard drives don't get baffled that much by the case walls, so it's probably louder. So all the fans are going slower, while each one may be quieter than a single one, add up the low rumble 70 of em and it's probably pretty noisy.
My dream computer is to have no fans, not more fans.:) The problem is no matter what, you still have the noise of that spinning hard drive to deal with, although some of the newer drives are rather quiet, but still not totally silent.
I was just about to suggest that same printer. I got mine for arouind $43 tho (including $20 rebate). Even for twice what I paid, it would still be a great printer. (unlike my HP officejet, which isn't even worth half of what I paid, I'm never buying one of those again)
The photos look fantastic, and it's even pretty cheap to buy ink for, with separate color carts. (they're clear to so you can actually see when the ink is really gone) Plus according some review I read, it's pretty stingy on ink compared to other printers. I've never been disapointed with a single Canon product I've purchased, they actually some with good printed manuals.
I couldn't find free linux drivers, so I just use it on my xp box. The software it comes with is actually pretty decent, makes photo printing easy, with auto adjustable crop, etc.
You need to open up the msdn link in a new window, tabs aren't affected. Either way, this is a pretty useless exploit. I can't think of a single secure site that I visit that uses frames.
But again if you put it in the past, we already know that the Sith rise to power for quite awhile, but then at some point the Jedi eventually hunt them down and wipe them out to almost extinction. I guess with any time you place it, you know evil isn't going to triumph forever--which is an inherent problem in the good vs evil plot, so it might be best to go with some other story that's entirely different, which is going to be a hard sell.
One of the problems I had with the prequels was that there was no surprise. You knew if someone was in episode IV, V or VI, then they would live, and if they weren't, then they would die. This took away a certain element of suspense in the films. Don't get me wrong, I still liked them, I just think the story would have worked better if told in order. Of course if it was told in order, then would people have been bored with the Phantom Menace from the get go, Lucas would have went broke and never wrote another story again?
My point is I'd really like a new story that takes place after episode VI. Maybe still do 7, 8 and 9 which were hinted at long ago. It could be some kind of matrixesque re-rise of the sith, the force antichrist was born again and Luke's new Jedi council has to deal with the new sith overloards all over again....or whatever (that was just my 3 minute brain storm)... just something new in the star wars universe.
Well it looks like we're gonna stick with RHEL AS 2.1, so we gotta cough up the dough for a few more licenses or something. Since Oracle won't support CentOS.
RHEL does offer piece of mind I guess, which is nice when your entire business depends on the stability of your servers.
Well, my previous card was a gf3 that I bought second hand. It didn't really run Doom3 that stellar. I had the extra cash, so I dropped it on an nvidia 6800GT. I'll probably upgrade my CPU at least twice before I get a new video card. (Unless this one dies or I stumbled upon a small fortune.)
There's always people out there that have more money than they know what to do with. Or like to compete with other people's systems at the lan party. These are the people that buy the new cards.
The funny thing is that I have had more problems with testing than with unstable w/ select experimental packages. I've rarely encountered a problem with my home server running unstable, but testing that I run on another machine so it's more "stable", seems to have more problems. Dependency problems, etc.
I can't remember the last time something happened with sid, the worst thing that happened was someone messed up pam, so you needed to boot to single user mode and revert packages to login. Took maybe 10 minutes to fix if you know what you're doing. Other than that, the only thing that happened was my exim broke a few times, mostly my fault because I wasn't paying attention to the new configuration stuffs. Oh, and static binaries get messed up sometimes when upgrading to a new major release of libc6.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know if you use CentOS to update an already installed RHEL install (say your license ran out and you can't get updates anymore or something)? Or do you have to reinstall? I couldn't find this information on the CentOS website anywhere, so I guess it means a reinstall is required.
I actually do work out on a regular basis... in my cousin's home gym. Which means I usually just wear my clothes to her house. It's fine now since I wear a coat and I can put all my junk in my coat, but come summer time, I have to find something else to do with my car keys, mobile phone and wallet. I suppose I should just leave the phone and wallet in the car, but as I don't always leave right away aftewards, having the mobile phone is nice.
I'm not saying I'd work out with all this junk in my pockets... no way. Maybe I just need a man purse, but everything I've seen looks rather wussy. A gym bag for just keys, wallet and phone is rather overkill.:)
what about your dorm/house keys? your cellphone? your wallet?
I never understood why gym shorts don't have at least SOME pockets. Even if it was a mesh bag sewn around the waistline or something like some swimsuits have.
I've run into similar problems. I have 1 gig of ram on my machine, if I have my java ide loaded up, and run a game or something like UT2k4, and play for a bit, when I exit out, my machine will thrash like made. But then I tried just disabling the page file altogether because of someone's suggestion, and ya know what? Everything works fine, no memory problems, no thrashing.
The solution is to no click on any of those links.
The automatically popup blocker only applies to popups that try to load along with another page. If you want to disable all window.open() function calls then you'll need a special extention that may or may not exist. Adblock might do, I dunno.
Mine was actually a red orb. It looks like it basically auto downloads the latest version and runs the installer. And looking at my add/remove programs, I have two copies mozilla firefox there. Now I gotta bust out regedit to get rid of one. I with they wouldn't include the version number or get rid of the old one some how, that's damn annoying.
To test yourself / your computer's sound system, try in_tone.dll for winamp. Just drop it in your plugins directory, and copy the below to a.m3u file. I can hear 20k, but just barely. Hard to say if it's the actual tone or some weird subharmonics thing going on.
Just for fun I turned my monitor off if I could tell. Yep, it made a big difference in cutting down out the high pitched noise. (my computers make some as well)
The unintended side effect was that my dog ran into the room. Apparently she knows that when I turn the monitor off, I'm probably going to be on the move so she goes where to action is so she's not left out. Or at least that's my current theory... maybe it was just a coincidence. I've noticed similar things with the tv, but in that case, I thought it was just the click of it turning off since she's usually lazing around in the same room as the tv when I'm down there.
Ah, that's better. But usually I have a lot of windows open, many under each other, so when the mouse pointer leaves, the likelyhood of it being on top of another window is rather high. To each his own, I'm sure my desktop would drive other people crazy as well.:)
After all, many of us have happily lived with X windows auto focus to foreground for years with no obvious detriment.
Speak for yourself. I hate auto focus with a passion. When you move the mouse out of the way to read the text or whatever the window goes out of focus and you can then no longer type. It's a royal pain. But there's always people who love it I guess.
And zero buttons? c'mon when ever you get up from the computer you'd have to be careful where you left the mouse, careful not to bump the desk on your way up. And if you have cat, you'd have to leave the mouse upside down or something.
Or were you being sarcastic? If so, lay it on a bit thicker next time.:)

Gee, mount a keyboard on the side and you'd have a laptop.

FYI, searching the below two keys in regedit solved the add/remove programs duplication issue:
Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1
Mozilla Firefox (1.0.1)
