    My mom has a Canon MP210. Every boot it complains that it found new hardware, but it had a bad section in the INF.

  4. Why ... on Researcher Publishes Industrial Complex Hack · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The vendor has released a patch and risk arises only for systems connected directly to the Internet without firewall protection.

    Klingons and Feringi walking around making comments about typical ST stuff

    When I was there about 5 or so years ago, I made sure I addressed the Klingons as "Honored Warrior", but I told one of the Ferengi that he couldn't bug me without paying me, as there was no profit in it.

    Oh, that's very different. Never mind.
    </EMILY-LATELLA>

    In my defense, your post did not mention that you were running Ubuntu. The fact that your company has IE specific intranet pages led me to believe you were running Windows.
