to FF a few weeks ago from Chrome. Chrome just kept eating resources, getting slower and slower.
How about this, turn on the "it's own resources" by default, but allow those of us that want the SPEED
to turn it off.
I've been in the copier/printer/fax/computer business for over 30 years. Region locking things has been going on for about that long.
It first started with designing a tab, prong or other plastic part, to prevent a cartridge from working.
Savin, some Lanier, Ricoh boxes are the same, but their cartridges won't fit.
Toshiba, some lanier, Kyocera boxes are the same, but their toner won't fit.
They use to do it with the above mentioned "break away" tabs (if you knew what to change),
but that wasn't good enough, so they put a different drive gear coupling on the rear.
But that wasn't good enough. Now a lot of them have either a CRM chip, or an RFID
chip on the back of the cartridge that gets close enough to the one in the machine to read it.
If they don't match, it won't work.
In the "olden" days of dry toner copier, they did this to prevent a person from refilling the toner
cartridges.
With the color copiers/printers, the particle sizes have reached such a small size, and, the temperature
melting points are becoming so small, that if you vary the toner or carrier just a very small amount,
it makes a mess and can destroy some components. The DRM on cartridges is a PITA because if
you slap a genuine new one in, and it doesn't read, it creates a service call. Sometimes, you can go
in and tell it to look for the cartridge again, but if that doesn't work, you have to reject the cartridge and
RMA it back to the company.
Remember a few years back, there was a university, Minnesota I think, that was offering some sort of grant or something to
"African Americans". This lady applied online, and went in for the interview and they rejected her because she was white.
The kicker is she was born in South Africa, but she and her parents moved to the USA. So technically, she was an
African, American...which technically was correct, but not politically correct.
Not sure of the outcome, but I thought it was hysterical.
When I got it last year, it was one of those, I play with it a week, send it back to Amazon because the specs are so bad.
(I had 2 previous 5+ inch screens Dell Streak 5, Note 1, so the size didn't bother me).
I mean, how good can a device be (2014) with only a 720p screen, snapdragon 400, 2gb ram, JB4.3 with a 4,100mAH
battery. Well, it came, and WOW was I surprised. It blew me away. Bright clear screen, snappy performance, runs
everything I want (I don't play games), video, mp3's, great camera, 2-3 day battery life. Less than 300 bucks!
It just got the 5.1.1 LL update toward the end of June, but even if it didn't JB4.3 was flat stable.
Best 300 bucks I ever spent on a phone, and I've been buying em since the original Motorola brick back in the 90's.
I found out that if you find the right device, you don't have to spend 700, 800 or more just to have a great device.
They are out there, if you look. I think too many people are buying on brand name only.
I prefer the original, to some reboot.
Batman, never liked it...grew up on the original version.
Beverly Hillbillies. Same (plus the movie version was lame).
Oceans 11.....come on, really? NO ONE can replace the rat pack!
The 10 commandments.....LOL, like anyone could replace Charles Heston
Hollywood is LAZY. They go for cheapest hoping to get profit. Instead of investing in a good script, they try to rewrite an older script, and throw in a
bunch of stupid CGI, and explosions. They use so much gasoline to produce explosions, I bet it causes the price of gas to go up!
Then, you want us to pay the super expensive prices for the movie, when we can wait a few months, and get it on Netflix, Hulu, Redbox?
Gee, who didn't see THAT coming!
Socialism does not breed happiness. Paying EVERYONE the same breeds resentment.
Those that worked HARD, and worked their way up the ladder, are now ticked off, because all of their
hard work was for nothing, because now the new hire, off the street that knows NOTHING, gets paid the same.
Those that goof off, don't work hard, get paid the same as the person that will bust their butt.
Customers, some of which already left, are worried that paying everyone the same, will result in the fees going
up. Great job! You backhandedly once again showed that socialism DOES NOT WORK, never will work!
Utility rates would NECESSARILY SKYROCKET.
Yep, the economy sucks, the USA in the past few decades has transformed from a global
manufacturing country, to more of a service sector company. All of the high paying jobs,
have been pushed overseas, so yeah, why not, lets make the utility rates SKYROCKET,
and force our country to have rolling black outs like the rest of the world. JUST TO MAKE IT
FAIR.
Bunch of crybaby socialist/communist/marxist that run this country into the ground.
If some women in offices, would actually WEAR CLOTHES, they wouldn't have that problem.
Also, TAKE A SWEATER TO WORK. It's easier to ADD a layer of clothes, versus taking
a layer off (although if women want to strip in the office, I don't have a problem with it).
Quit bitching!
One of the funnier parody videos I've seen in a while.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Oh goodie, someone spouting Karl Marx. What's next? Lennin, Stalin, Mao, Obama?
I'll take my chances with free market capitalism over socialism ANY DAY.
Name one country, where the people have moved UP in life, that runs under socialism.
China doesn't count because the MAJORITY of it's citizens don't live in Hong Kong or
Peking (Beijing).
If you were STUPID enough, to give a "cheaters" website your REAL name, REAL address, REAL bank information, REAL personal information, then
you deserve to be hacked and exposed as the lying cheating SOB that you really are, regardless if you are a man or woman, or other.
I do a lot of work on office machines, computers, scanning equipment, high end printers.
30 years ago, you never had software problems, it was all hardware problems. Relay units,
switches, cams, clutches...now, there are times I don't even get my screwdriver out of my toolbag.
Everything is dependent on the operating system. I'm not one to rush right out and update the software
in my machines. I'll let them go a week or two, unless a specific update corrects a problem a customer
is currently having. I go by the old line, "just because its new, doesn't make it better, it just means it's new".
Sometimes updates break other things, so I'll wait and let someone else be the guinea pig.
It will be Hillary's fault. Sadly, she will be the next president.
Bush will get the nomination.
Trump will throw a fit, saying it isn't fair, he was robbed.
He will form a 3rd party and run as an independent.
This will pull a substantial number of Republican votes from Bush (Ross Perot all over again)
This will allow Hillary to win.
Anyone that thinks Trump is a Republican, is drinking or smoking some weird stuff!
Trump has supported Hillary a lot, and funneled money to her NY State campaign, plus they are good
friends.
Trump wants to continue to be on tv, radio, newspapers, plus, he would have to put all his holdings and the like
in a blind trust. You think he is going to give up the limelight and the money, by becoming president?
He's in this to make sure Bush gets the nod, then do the Ross Perot thing to ensure a Hillary victory.
Since before the days of the "motorola brick", I've used belt clips. As an amateur radio operator, I've carried walkie-talkies on my belt for years.
I also volunteered as a 911-dispatcher for the sheriff's office and carried a VHF or UHF radio at times. Then when the "brick" came out, you pretty
much had to carry it, if you wanted your hands free. Every cell phone I've used, I've used a belt clip. When I got my first smartphone (dell streak5)
I carried it on my belt, same for the galaxy note1, and my current Huawei Mate2. It's just as natural for me, as it is for others to stuff them in their
pants, or hold them in their hands. Since I use bluetooth for all my devices, I don't have to pull it out to see who is calling either.
Our country is too spread out. In urban places like NYC, Los Angeles, etc...it works, but out here in fly over country, it does not.
Plus, my boss buys my car to do service work, but allows us to drive them home, since some of us live 15-30 miles from the office
and when we have a service call, we can leave from home instead of driving to the office, pick up the vehicle, then drive all the way
back.
Hold out til the last minute.
I was done with that show YEARS ago. Funny and entertaining (in a morbid stupid way) for a couple years, then I was done with it.
Same as South Park...I mean, how many times can you kill Kenny before it just becomes stupid/boring?

If they shut down ALL of the coal fired plants. FACT!
Global warming, no doubt.

It DOES come with a serial port to connect a 56k dialup modem!
Less competition, higher prices.

The old line about "beachfront property" in Arizona will come true! Buy some property NOW on the west side of Arizona.
Sell the business, including all the headaches and DEBT, wait out the non compete time, start fresh with no debt, fresh and do it all over again.
