Can you imagine the idiot that would call tech support while his hard disk was on fire? "Should I just shut it off? I don't want Scandisk to scold me when I boot it up again!"
HP offered a fix, which was really just a couple of somewhat flimy stickers you put inside the printer to apply more pressure to the rollers. Frightening, but they did the job. Unfortunately, the kit is no longer available as the settlement has run out. But there is a better alternative. Take it from a satisfied customer.
It's simply amazing you were able to get five years out of that 400C. The thing was so cheap, it didn't even have an input tray (and you had to swap the color and black cartridges to print color-- the same cartridges the ca. 1992 Deskjet 500C used).
I remember that infamous version. We had employees who could not dial-up into the company's modem bank for remote access until we completely reinstalled the machine. I tried removing every bit of AOL and the Windows DUN (following Microsoft's KB entry) and failed.

The average joe is a bit too ignorant for his own good.
Yes, he is too ignorant. Let us, the intellectual elite, enslave these weak-minded brutes and put them to work for us!
Seriously, I'm pretty sure most men, at least, know what they're driving. Sorry, but it's only the women I know who have had trouble recollecting certain significant details about their vehicles, such as the number of doors or when they last changed the oil.

When it breaks, he calls Geek Squad or the smart nerdy kid down the street, just like if the washing machine breaks, he calls the repair guy from Sears.
A real man FIXES it himself... or at least finishes it off so that he can just buy a new one at Sears!
Other one: a friend from eastern europe learned english from books that are by now 30 years old or more. She probably has a pro in grammatical knowledge of the language now, but speaking it is much more difficult, because any new expressions weren't in there,
That must really kill her grasp of 31337 h4x0r speech. On the plus side, she's probably the grooviest cat in the disco. Get lost, squares!
I could put Gigabit in an apartment building, but if the broadband link is only 1 Mbit it won't be very fast. The speed at the jack, tells you JACK. It's like putting a big coffee-can tailpipe on a stock Civic.
My war with PayPal began in early September 2005. I sold a laptop on eBay for $615. To protect the buyer's identity, I will refer to him as RH.
"RH" stole his laptop, yet he suggests that PayPal is the real villan here and wants to protect "RH"! They surely committed some serious acts of negligence, but why not tell everyone about "RH", too? After all, this larceny wouldn't have happened without "RH". Why would he do this?
That's the fault of the people of California, not BMW. Second, I'm not so sure that an alternator is considered an emissions-critical device. My brain is hurting trying to think of a way it could possibly increase emissions. I don't think alternators require an exemption any more than cat-back modifications (like tailpipes and mufflers).
My grandfather used to have some recordings on tape spools - just open tape that went between two reels - player broke - no one around could convert the damn things.
Try going to a yard sale! I have two consumer 1/4" tape players myself, and I don't even have 1/4" stereo tapes to play on them (my reels are all 1/4" 2-track professional mix tapes)!

That was a lousy design, but you could have also solved it by installing a filter in the front of the case or blowing out the dust regularly.

I question this woman's integrity. Because it's high quality, it's probably HP technology?

However, they are clearly contibuting to global warming. Or at least, a SIGNIFICANT local warming trend.
This is EXACTLY why I trust only the industry standard: BogoMIPS.

But you have a convenient way of destroying sensitive data: just rub your hard disk on your sideburns.
You may laugh, but I'm the one who knows that Bill Gates had corn for dinner yesterday!
You joke, but that Athlon sounds almost exactly like my rig.
About half of our credit unions run on servers with about the same amount of RAM and half the clock speed of this card.
I fear that if we were to ask the userbase what it wanted, we would get the software equivalent of "The Homer"

No, I think he meant "plane travel over land". Most flights are NOT transcontinental.
