Bill and Steve used to be technical, but that was back in the day when they weren't having to raise a company from the ground, up. Bill usually has a pasty, inhaler-required, white-boy-look with the bad haircut and 1980s fashion to supplement it all. Mr. Jobs, on the other hand, likes to dress alternatively, poses a concern for his clients' issues, enjoys working with a company that can design efficient systems and trendy designs. He's almost always nicely groomed and dressed appropriately for the occassion. Bill just needs to be hosed down, shampooed, clipped, filed, hehe, sandblasted, and crammed into a decent outfit.

So its kinda like telling my computer to turn its head and cough, right? *squeeze*
...yet another hotfix from Microsoft to remove the coded BSOD link to www.hardware-update.com since it contains ads, possible spyware, and not to mention Marchex Inc. might start charging Microsoft just for using their name in the OS they sell for $249.99 (US)?
I'm willing to bet the HP software/drivers read a pre-determined datestamp on the chip of the cartridge. I would imagine their code to look something like this...
If today.date > cartridge.expiry do{ print = 0; //poor sucker has no idea... else { print = 1; //long-live Queen Carly! }
As mentioned in the Inquirer's article, "Something has to be done about these companies who virtually sell dust for a fortune. No wonder cheaper ink refill alternatives are becoming more and more popular. I'm sure the big guys already know about the cheap inks, but they're just trying to hold on as long as they can to their current prices to maintain their balance sheets."
This is a huge epidemic that has taken the nation, if not, then the world by storm! Squeezing every nickel possible out of your customers is NOT the way to do business and there is one person I can think of who earned historical recognition for doing the unthinkable - Henry Ford. Not only did he bring the assembly line into the picture, but he suffered 40-60% turnover every month! He then decided to DOUBLE the hourly wage and his workers benefitted from $2.50 to $5.00 a day!
In this case, HP could salvage its name by cutting prices on its cartridges to half of the typical price, removing its expiry, and down-charging it's costly photo paper. There's a new name running HP and it would be wise to take a risk by doing this to win more market share and get a "leg up" on the competition.

At least my engine isn't shrouded in plastic, composed of styrofoam, and the chassis held together with scotch tape or gum-drops.
The Corvette Z06 just falls off the road according to recall number 04V273000. The steering linkage simply falls apart and causes the driver to lose control of the car.
The lower control arm ball stud/nut washers were made of defective materials and disintegrate, thus leaving the Corvette to slam down on its own wheels and at 120mph, a VERY bad thing. It may also cause the wheel to seperate completely from its attachment.
In recall notice 04V060000, the steering column locks and due to an unchecked circuit, voltage is not read correctly and enables the Corvette to accelerate while failing to shut-off the fuel pump and the steering columns is locked in any position. If the brick wall doesn't stop you, maybe the crappy steering linkage will!

Its kinda weird though. My roommate has a P4 3.06 with 1Gb RAM and his has the rendering error. My Athlon XP 3000 with 1Gb PC3200, my VIA C3, Athlon 2400, Pentium 133, and Athlon 2800 don't have this problem. I'm starting to wonder if its another software package/configuration that causes this.
What'll stop you in this case is that the BIOS is memory-resident in HP/Compaqs because the working BIOS is actually stored on the disk. The "BIOS Chip" on the board serves only as a shadow. This is why HP/Compaq or "HPaq" wants you to turn off your computer, press and hold the "CMOS" button inside your case (to flush the memory) and then edit your BIOS on the next boot. When you save and exit your BIOS, the new, working copy is stored on your hard drive and a mirror of it is used from memory.
If Carly were still in office, she'd probably find a way to convince you that your printer is out of ink and you need to buy refills!
Aside from that, if this under-handed marketting strategy is going to keep us from running servers/workstations, what's next - BMWs whose engines suddenly stop working because there's a Fram oil filter installed? What if I decide to use a generic dollar-store bulb in my socket instead of the "approved" Philips bulb? Based on this theory, can you imagine what would happen if I were to eat a bag of knock-off raisin bran?
It sounds to me that this is just a marketting gimick to screw customers over and force them to buy what the manufacturer wants you to buy. God forbid I should find a better alternative to what the manufacturer wants me to buy.
Really... what on God's green Earth would ever make a hacker want to break in to this? This just goes to prove that, eventually, no one will care about hacking into your system because there are calculators more powerful than this! I'm really looking forward to putting a bad-ass 50Mhz chip in this!

I live in Hell, er, I mean, Texas... down here, temperatures reach upward of 110ºF and computing seems to take place more at night when the temperature dips to 86ºF at 1000% humidity.
During the day, my Athlon XP 3000 (400Mhz FSB) with my 1.0Gb of Corsair PC3200 DDR (Dual Channel), sATA RAID, 550W High-Efficiency Power Supply, and 21" NEC Multisync XP21 monitor heat the upstairs computer lab/room/den to a toasty 92ºF with the A/C on!
It's no wonder I sit around in my boxers all day on Saturdays. I'm thinking about installing a rotisserie casemod with WinBraise v1.1 so I can monitor by food without having to open up the broiler/computer every 30 minutes.
...its all in the presentation. If the C02 campaign is met with hostility, typical human reaction is to 'follow suit'. However, if its greeted with acceptance and change, I don't think the American economy would suffer. I believe what we're looking for is the "magic pill" to make all our problems go away - in this case, there is no magic pill. We have generations of abuse to clean up and may take just as long as it did to mess this environment up in the first place! Granted, our kids may not have it easy, but if we start soon and work hard at it, we can leave them a world slightly cleaner than what we had.
I've been living in Houston, Texas for quite some time and only recently, have I actually started feeling the effects of the environment. I've noticed it to be warmer than usual, the air has a funny undertone to it, and I've been having various respiratory problems.
Honestly, I have no idea what the problem is with rendering Slashdot's page. I've been able to render the page flawlessly since I started using Mozilla a year ago. In fact, I just loaded MSIE (gag, retch, puke) to see Slashdot (yay!) and compare the two windows. Mirror image. I'm a graphics artist and web-designer on the side... am I missing something? The colors are right along with the backgrounds, text size, pictures, and even the margins look right. What's the deal?
I haven't seen this "anti-spyware" (term used lightly) package yet, but am wondering if anyone has read the Terms of Agreement that are included with the software license for the now, currently-addressed, "Trial Version". Is there any mention of a "trial software" or "pre-release" in the TOA?

As I recall reading, the "gadget" must have moving parts. Electronic controls only made it spiffier.
At least my engine isn't shrouded in plastic, composed of styrofoam, and the chassis held together with scotch tape or gum-drops.

I LOVE AMERICA!
I live in Hell, er, I mean, Texas... down here, temperatures reach upward of 110ºF and computing seems to take place more at night when the temperature dips to 86ºF at 1000% humidity.

It's no wonder I sit around in my boxers all day on Saturdays. I'm thinking about installing a rotisserie casemod with WinBraise v1.1 so I can monitor by food without having to open up the broiler/computer every 30 minutes.
So why aren't we boycotting this browser because of it's insecurity and high risk of identity theft?
