    The original (from the novel) did not have the last two lines!

  2. Re:A tidy sum in sales of the printed version... on Oxford Dictionary Considers Going Online Only · · Score: 1

    Didn't the Britannica CD use Navigator and HTML? ISTR having a version from the late 90's that did that.

    Seems to me that it should work OK with FF.

    Please, be specific.

    Hofstaeder always threatened to send Klink to the Russian front.

    That Allen was the non-evil guy from MS. Guess I was wrong.

    Let me guess. You were president of the Tautology Club back in school.

  11. Re:Sauce for the goose on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 1

    The point is that if someone sends you something unsolicited in the mail, it's yours to do with what you will.

    If someone puts a tracker on my car (without a warrant), and I find it, is it then mine to do with what I will? In particular, sell it, since that was what my original reply was to.

    How is this different from the police sending you something unwanted via the mail?

  16. Re:Lexmark still sells printers? on Lexmark Sues 24 Companies Over Toner-Cartridge Patents · · Score: 1

    I think you can just use a generic PS driver in the worst case.

    I haven't been to Brother's site in a while, so I don't know if licensing issues are what keeps the drivers from being shipped with distros.

  17. Older HPs on Lexmark Sues 24 Companies Over Toner-Cartridge Patents · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anything built by HP pre-Carly is pretty much a tank, even the early DeskJets.

  18. Re:Lexmark still sells printers? on Lexmark Sues 24 Companies Over Toner-Cartridge Patents · · Score: 2, Informative

    Brother uses PostScript. But they also have Linux support and drivers on their site.

    We had a workgroup Brother DCP series printer and it was very nice, for both Windows and Linux.

  19. Re:Why stop there? on RIAA President Says Copyright Law "Isn't Working" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A law like this would make it impossible to allow any site where a user can upload content.
