  1. Re:Confounded HP on HP Stops Selling Printers, Starts Selling Prints · · Score: 1

    I can recomend the Konica-Minolta 2530 DL. I installed the drivers provided my KM as a source tarball on my AMD64/Gentoo box, and can access the printer's webpage just fine, and you can tell the printer to continue even if the toner cartridges are low.

  2. Re:Bring back the HP-16C! on Celebrating the HP-35 Calculator With a New Model · · Score: 1

    The Sharp EL-9600C has a mode where it does math in Binary, Octal, Decimal and Hex, ... at the same time. It is the only good feature of that calculator, which is quite slow other wise, but it does have a touch screen.

    Just because you don't know how to do a "is this a good site" search doesn't mean that there aren't tools out there to do just that.

    So, the HP laptops that come with FreeDOS don't count?

    (This post will be modded down. But, by saying that, people will mod it up. Does claiming that it will be modded get people to mod it down?)

  12. Re:speed limiter on Is DRM Intrinsically Distasteful? · · Score: 1

    75MPH is the rural speed limit in the midwest here. Imagine if your car was set to california 65MPH, and you were in Texas, where the speed limit is 80 MPH. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,197072,00.html The speed limit used to be 55, then 65. Do you want your car to be limited to a speed less than the legal speed limit?

    Also, I have driven a Ford Tarus that had a limiter at 107MPH. If you went past that speed, where the engine was still in the middle of the tachometer, the throttle would cut until 95MPH.

    My old Subaru Loyale couldn't go past 80, unless it was downhill, with a tail wind, with a few mile straight, then you might be able to reach 100 MPH.

  13. Re:Observations on Microsoft Worried OEM 'Craplets' Will Harm Vista · · Score: 1

    The difference is:
    On linux, most distros don't have all of the installed software running at the same time. Yes, you have 5 different web browsers, but they are on the hard drive, not in ram.

    In windows, you have all of that crap in the system tray, in ram, running.

    Offering software is good, as long as it ISN'T running. Then it becomes crapware.

    You forgot to mention the best part about the Model 100: 24 hours of battery life from a set of 4 AAs. I think that 24 hours is a lot for a laptop these days, without swapping batteries like crazy.

    Yes, but with this system, you have access to the computer that creates the mail, whereas with the current email system, you only have access to the last relay.
    That opens a bunch of opportunities that aren't currently feasable, such as reporting to the ISP, a DOS attack by keeping the connection open, ....

    What, you think that any ISP would actually allow downloads fast enough to use over 100baseT?
