You hit the nail directly on the head with this one. This is the reason why we can't break the 4Ghz barrier: it's not a round number. I mean, look at all those pointy edges!
If the industry wants, they can skip right to 5, which is round on at least half of it, but I suggest they skip 5 as well and head over to 6. Remember: the popularityitude is directly proportional to the rounditude.
The main reason that the Facsists are shunned is because they decided to enforce their views not just in their own country, but in others as well. Those who didn't comply were simply absorbed. Stalin, for the most part, kept his "cleansings" to his own country, not becoming the worldwide "playground bully" and making other countries cry for help.
Well let me start off by saying the compatibility of Canon Inkjets for Linux is non-existant. However, they do run on Macs, through USB, and on Windows through USB or Parallel.
The Canons (namely the S500 and the more commonly found in retail S750) are great. They boast speeds up to 20ppm and get about 16 of them out on normal quality. They run on a 4-cartridge system that saves money by seperating the print head, and you can buy all the cartridges in one box with the print head for less than the carts individually, and about $15 less than the color and black carts for Lexmark and HP printers. As for photo printing, the speed drops, but the quailty sharply increases. 1 minute for a 4x6, 2 minutes for a 8x10 gets you borderless photos, which, on glossy photo paper, look like they were done at a camera shop.
Plus it comes with **FULL** carts out of the box. No starters here.
With a cost per color page of 4.2 cents versus 12 for most HPs, I'd buy a Canon any day.
And no, I don't work for Canon, I'm a retail sales guy at my local Staples. And no, I don't go by the info I get directly from Canon, I look it up on the net to make sure and even bought one. It works (except for the "up to" speed) as advertised.
On a side note, no printers come with the cable. Deal with it. This is so retailers can get you to buy their "warranty kits," ie a packaged warranty, cable, sample photo paper, and surge protector for $50. Sounds like a good deal when the cable itself is $25 on the shelf and the warranty is $40. But as we all know, you can find USB cables online for under $5.
Well, after telling its wireless customers for the past few weeks that it will be the first to offer GSM on the east coast of the US, ATT Wireless finally did it.
Hmm. First of all not only was ATT not the first to use this technology on the east coast [Voicestream, Verizon, and even Nextel have been using it for quite some time now], but they are also trying to get people to pay $40 a month to use it...
I personally use Nextel. They have the IDEN network, which is more secure than GSM and CDMA, but also support GSM [on certian phones] for use internationally.

But only for the first month.
Will you give up your own freedom in order to take that same freedom away from others?
This looks like another "do as I say, not as I do" situation starting.
