Any time I have to spend f$%king with my OS instead of playing games, reading web pages, checking and answering my email is wasted. It's this spending-time-on-your-OS-is-your-ultimate-goal mentality that's holding Linux back from more mainstream adoption. The perfect OS would 'just work', let me run applications, and not require my attention in any way.
I'd like to introduce something I like to call "outside the computer screen." It's that area you can't move the cursor to, where there are old cola cans and other rubbish laying about. You know that place? It pretty much sounds like what you're describing. You don't have to configure a book, or boot up a chair before sitting down. Try that place. I think you'll like it.
Well, I can say easily "I'm glad I live in America".
... where you are dragged away by men in black to a secret military holding cell in some remote part of the world when you post something the government disapproves of, rather than *the sound of a SWAT-team breaking through the window interrupts the message*
The basic misconception by the executive in question is that we judge the severity of crime by it's monetary value. Is he seriously suggesting that we should not try to solve rape cases just because there's no profit in it? Oh...and FP?
But think about the loss in revenue for the hookers, if men just go rape random women when they want to get laid! That's lots and lots of money!
No. Free circulation of guns contributed to the Virgina Tech shootings. These kind of things just don't happen in countries that have sane gun laws, privacy laws or not.
You're right. Over here, where we have sane gun laws, kids just cook up home made bombs instead.

O, I am willing to moderate. It's just I accidentally cranked open a huge canister of -1 troll on the wrong post. Figured I didn't want to spoil the poor guy's karma.
Quality of knowledge is important. Readability is second.
Agreed.
Personally, I think that using wikipedia as a tool of learning a subject is unfair to you, the one doing the learning: You're doing yourself a big malfavor in not buying a proper book, or attending a class in the subject. Wikipedia should not be a cheap substitute for a proper education.
Old Deskjets are built like tanks (4xx, 5xx, 6xx series), they aren't so finicky as modern ones, so you can refill their cartridges.
Though, bob only knows what's in the modern inks. I'm thinking it's undergone the same crapification printers have, so I wouldn't dare printing with it in an old printer. It just wouldn't be right. It's best let the dead rest in peace.
Whenever I need to print something, I go buy an old inkjet from the 90's (at a garage sale or some such). They usually cost in the range of $5 to $15, and come with a half-full ink cartridge. That cost is less than the average ink cartridge, and they can last for years and never clog up. When you're out of ink, discard the printer and buy a new one.
Before I discovered this, I would buy a cheap new inkjet printer, print until it clogged up or ran out of ink, and then buy a new cheap printer (they cost less than the cartridges.)
That's because in most cases they *deliberately* got rid of them to free up space. It's nothing to do with deterioration of the original videotapes/film.
Though, one have to consider the human factor of film-storage, not just the technical part.
You had two dimensions? You lucky bastard! We would count ourself lucky if we even had one. "If you need geometry to express it, well that's no bloody use for us poor people, who can't afford that new-fashioned fancy stuff?", we used to say. We used to live inside a 0-dimensional box, at the bottom a lake, 150 of us, working dimensionless shifts in the coal-mine, sharing one bit of gravel between all of us to eat, and when we got home, our mother and father would kill us every night, and dance at our grave. Try telling that to young people of today, and they won't believe you!
And you try and tell the young people of today that, they won't believe you.

G.I. Joe?! Is this the thanks?!?
I'll bet Iraq said something similar a couple of years back.

Aww, I don't know. Some changes here and there...
Mêlée Island, Monkey Island -> Planet Mêlée, Endor.
Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate -> Guylightsaber Threepwookie, Mighty Jedi.
Ghost Pirate LeChuck -> Android Sith LE3HU35
and so forth.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow...

And this will remove my moderation. Mod overrated or something if you want it out of your face.
So, they're messing about with the Higgs Boson--that means the planet is about to collapse into the size of a pea, if I remember things correctly.
But only if you shut off all the eye-candy.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO
Please keep appending Os. If we get enough O's, and send 'em to the BBC, maybe they won't cancel it.
No, you'll find that it means you've committed a faux pas by trolling, and, in fact made a fool of yourself.
They'll have to pry C from my cold, dead hands.

Be careful, rumor has it Microsoft has patented revealing how many Microsoft-patents something violates.
Agreed.

When keying someone's car isn't enough to say I hate you, make a key out of this material and key their jewelery.
I think the countless lost Doctor Who-episodes is a good example of how analog video storage isn't perfect either.
And you try and tell the young people of today that, they won't believe you.
I, for one, welcome our new six dimensional overlords...
