Even *WITH* Prime, 2-Day shipping is not always 2 days. In fact, I just placed an order yesterday which was eligible for prime. I got a "Shipped" confirmation email this morning, but the expected delivery date is 4 days from now.
Also, sometimes the items are shipped more than 2 days AFTER the order is placed. What good is free 2-Day shipping when it takes them a week *BEFORE* they ship it?
Listen up and take heed: It's not that you should "Stop buying HP Printers". It's that you should "Stop buying *INKJET* Printers". HP makes plenty of laser printers that last longer and are a WAY better investment than buying an inkjet printer.
Good God, man! Where do you work? You watch 4K videos in the office? Your boss wants that TPS report before his meeting with the board at 1:00PM. You better turn off that video and open up Excel!
This will certainly save a lot of money for enterprises. I expect it will be the RARE company that will actually need 5Gbps per workstation. Most can probably get by on 100Mbps.
So they hired 4 Asians, and 17 Non-Asians, and the Labor Department calls that "1 in a billion chance"? Well, what if the pool of 17 Non-Asians was made up of 5 White, 4 African, 4 Latino, and 4 European? That would seem to me to be WELL ROUNDED!
Firstly, when you eventually get hacked IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.
It's not your fault *THE FIRST TIME*. However, if you get hacked again after implementing fixes, it certainly IS your fault. It's cheaper to do nothing, but when you get hacked, you must do something, and it must be something to implement better security, and notify your users. Taking TWO FUCKING YEARS is way too long.
The photos don't look scary. They look like they have been stretched using some photo-manipulation software, and just look stupid. The 3rd profile picture just looks completely normal to me. Maybe there is some sort of cultural difference that makes the Chinese people suspicious of these pictures, but to me, it just looks like a 13 year old youtuber screwed around with the photos. It's UNPROFESSIONAL, sure, but I'm not scared. ("I ain't 'fraid of no ghost!")
Redditor BaconBakin points out that while North Korea has 28 websites, GTA V has 83 websites. They added, "I think it's safe to say that San Andreas is more technologically advanced than North Korea."
Not necessarily. If everything you could ever need is at one website, then there is no need for thousands. I would call that advanced.
When companies screw over the public, especially those with certain medical needs, that makes me sad. But when those same people who need medicine find a way to cut out the greedy drug companies by doing an end-run around their product, I find that HILARIOUS!
The company where I work was bought, and the new owner instructed us to migrate a lot of our services to GoDaddy. Some of the things we migrated were Domain registration, and Email services. The GoDaddy email services LOOKED like IMAP services that we could connect to with our current email client, but when it came down to it, it didn't support all the IMAP features. There were conspicuous limitations like: you are unable to create more than 10 folders off the root of your mailbox, or you can only store 100 messages per folder. To make matters worse, their support system is designed so you cannot reach the same technician twice. It's just the luck of the draw which one of 10,000 different support techs that you get on the phone.
GoDaddy is the WORST service provider. Sure, they may be fine if you want to register one or two domain names, but don't hinge your business on their services!
I wondered that too, so I figured the article didn't know what it was talking about, and it was the WINDOWS PRINTER DRIVER/SOFTWARE that triggered from the date.
There is an easy way to test this: Almost all printers have a way of printing out a test page or demo page without even being connected to a computer. See where I'm going with this? Power off the printer, disconnect it from the PC (and network too), and then power it back on and print the test page. I bet the result will be interesting.
This *IS* a plug for HP. Everyone should buy their printers...
Just not their *INKJET* Printers.
Buy a laserjet 4000 series, or maybe even find an old used Laserjet 4 or Laserjet 5. The laserjet 8000/8100 series are built like TANKS. I have seen dozens of those printers with MILLIONS of pages printed, and they are still going. They are repairable, Use PCL language that is supported by EVERY operating system, and even support both US and European paper sizes. You could by a new HP inkjet printer every 2 years for $150 (plus countless ink cartridges), or ONE HP Laserjet for 30+ years.
HackADay covered this same story and mentioned that there have been hacks to add CompactFlash card support and even USB to Apple II computers. I have seen a development board that you can use for CompactFlash, but honestly, it's price exceeds the original purchase price of the computer. I have yet to see the USB support they mentioned (and they didn't provide a link).
The Apple//gs was compatible with the//e. In fact, it was widely known that the//gs has a single chip in it that did everything the//e did. Many schools received their apple// computers by apple donating them. Shame on the schools for not expecting the corporation to want the schools to BUY upgraded computers.

OK, so I guess I'll be the one to say it:
I RECOMMEND that you buy an HP LASERJET PRINTER!

This reminds me of a scene from Aliens:
Ripley: "These people are soldiers, Newt. They're here to protect you."
Newt: "It won't make any difference."
Here's the summary:
Researchers determine that riding roller coasters can shake loose kidney stones.
I hope that helps.
You have had more than 20 kidney stones? You might need to change your diet.

How about if they called it an F1 McIntosh?
How do you feel about electronic paper?
I disagree.

Exactly which of their services did you use?

Ask any sysadmin why he hasn't solved world hunger or war in the middle east. He'll tell you "That's not the job I signed up for."
Next, ask your mailman why your cable bill is so high....
the signal is to NOT invest in this company.
The photons didn't arrive all at one time. In fact, it seems to be a code. We have decoded the signal and it seems the message is
"F.U. TYSON"
I guess it just took this long for the message to get there and back.
