  1. Ebay on Laser Printing Without the Hassles? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I recently purchased a LaserJet 4M for $50 on ebay 75 with shipping 600 DPI and you will most likely never reach its duty cycle for a month in the time you use it. Like teh poster on the HP III said this line is bullet proof. Want the ultimate Bulletproof Laser printer? Lok for a Laserwriter II NT its slow but you could use it for an anchor drop it out of a plane hook it up and it would most likely still run just fine :)

    It also depends on how often you upgrade. There is no point in buying a non 64bit system these days if you don't upgrade every year or so. That said I would wait to pick up a 64 bit system for as long as I could. There is always an improvement around the corner .. or a price drop. But if you are in the market now By all means go 64 bit.

    But the frame isn't damaged it is just wrong. So unless you have someone go back and examine every frame and every calc you wont know there was an error until you start to view things.

    Other advice: Dont spend any money on soundcards, video cards etc. In fact if ytou can just run them headless. All the boxes need is a nic, boot drive, ram, PSU and mobo/proc. I built a small farm for a company in 2001 we used C4d and so i went with a bunch of commodity vanilla athlons. Worked great. Today I would use xserves but that is me.

    "It is widely believed that the incidence of reoffending of serious sexual offenders is very much higher than studies such as this, which only count reconvictions, may suggest. However, by how much reconviction rates under-represent the true rate of reoffending remains at present a matter of speculation. For instance, the fact that there are a large number of hidden sexual victimizations does not tell us what proportion of such offences is being committed with impunity by already convicted sexual offenders. It is well known that there is a strong relationship between frequency of offending and the probability of being reconvicted at some time. On the other hand , it is important to recognize that one cannot infer from (a) the fact that some offenders when arrested admit to a large number of hidden offences over a long period of time; that (b) the majority of released sex offenders who have not been reconvicted are also 'hidden' multiple offenders. As Grubin (1998)(4.) has pointed out, it is probable that predatory sex offenders who commit offences against a very large number of victims 'are not typical'. Furthermore, the longer offenders are followed-up the more likely it will be that hitherto hidden offending will come to light through convictions."

    Here is an exerpt from the following article www.ipt-forensics.com/journal/volume3/j3_1_2.htm
    A recent study by Hanson, Steffy, & Gauthier (1990) on recidivism examined offenders from 3 to 23 years after treatment. The treatment was a short-term, multimodal program and recidivism was assessed through records of reconvictions. The researchers report that 44.3% of their total sample of 106 child molesters were reconvicted with 9.4% of the total sample being reconvicted between 10 and 23 years after being released. Incest perpetrators were reconvicted at the slowest rate (21%), homosexual pedophiles at the highest rate (66.7%), with heterosexual pedophiles and undifferentiated offenders showing an intermediate rate (42.2% & 36.36%). This study demonstrates the importance of extending the follow-up period when examining recidivism.
