Bought it at a yard sale for $15. Worked fine for 3 years, using the same cartridge that was in it when I bought it.
Just shows Error 50 now though and has been retired to the attic. The things are tanks though. It's gotta be 50 pounds. It's kinda like an IBM XT case.
Much better than the current crop of HP printers in my opinion. We use the 4400s at the office, and they're ok, but the speed isn't any better and the increased resolution isn't a big deal for text. But they start reading "low toner" 3 weeks after a new cartridge is put in though, even though they'll last for 6 months after that warning first shows up. A little suspicious.
Eliminate most of the unnecessary filing by throwing away the "normal" white envelope monthly bills. Wait for the yellow certified "disconnection" envelopes to come in and then sort those by shutoff date. As you pay them one day prior to shutoff, throw them away.
Of course you would only need to detect the 3 chords that define a hit song for the current year and then create a dozen songs that play those chords in different orders. And don't forget to throw in some lyrics about how your childhood sucked or how much of a bitch your ex was.
If you got a dime every time they played your song, you'd be making $10 per day, per station. Think about it.
How's it fraud? Define "unlimited service". As I stated in a previous post, "unlimited" in ISP terms is in relation to the previous per-hour charges of the big names like AOL, Prodigy, and so-on. They don't say "unlimited bandwidth", they say "unlimited service" which actually refers to your ability to use the service whenever you want to without additional cost. However, it does not give you the ability to use up all the available resources nonstop 24/7.
Do you work at home? Are you actually transferring gigabyte files over your personal broadband connection? Do you have a business account from your ISP?
If you answered Yes to all the above questions you could be eligible for a -1 Redundant moderation. And that's not all, tell him what else he's won Rod....
Oh, so you don't mind if all your neighboors decide to sit down every night and use as much bandwidth as their connections can consume?
Of course, that might mean that your unlimited connection suddenly only gets dial-up speeds doesn't it, but that's ok because they're paying for "unlimited" service.
But one could also argue that "unlimited" means unlimited bandwidth and you should be able to get 100 terabits per second.
P.S. "unlimited" when used in ISP terms is in relation to old standards of hourly fees as used by AOL, Prodigy, CompuServe, etc. You have to use some common sense.
Let's say that user X has made a fuss over a terminated account and notifies a local newspaper that they local ISP is unjustly terminating accounts. If an ISP has been asked by a reporter why they terminated user X's account, they have a right to state their reason.
But it's all pointless because the original posted didn't give anything other than a paraphrase of what an ISP might have said and not citing any other specifics. The whole argument was over "innocent until proven guilty" because an ISP compared a users usage to a certain number of movies. My post was an attempt at explaining why they may have chosen to state bandwidth usage in that way.
Traffic can be tracked by port if the ISP so desires. I was simply pointing out that the ISP in the original post may have been comparing data to movie size because they have more detailed information about what was happening that they may have spelled out in a brief public statement.
What legitimate need does a single person have when downloading 40 gigs of data over a short period of time?
I would suspect that the ISP may also know what port all the traffic was taking place on. It's quite reasonable to suspect that if 40GB of data was taking place of the port Kazaa uses, that he's not transfering a family photo album or business documents from his office network.
Regardless of due process, common sense still exists and it is Ok to call a spade a spade. While you may unfortunately have to defend it in court, you can still say what you want without a 500 page report and permission from a judge and jury.
It'd be very strange for a collection agency to act like this.
Never been in debt before huh? This is standard practice. A live person usually calls but I can understand them trying to get hi-tech and have it automated since most people in debt screen their calls. They always leave an 800 number though and don't identify themselves, otherwise you'd know you don't want to talk to them.
I've reported instances of valid online banking login information available on Kazaa. I've reported them to both the bank and the user. Of course, this is done from a hotmail account setup with bogus information to begin with. But the bank wrote back and was thankful. Of course that was a UK bank and I am in the US so make what you will of that.
Deep discounts like the $100 one I bought from Wal-Mart last night that included the Mario game? How much cheaper can they make it? I don't know if this is their new price or my particular Wal-mart just had a sale going on or something. They just had a standard wal-mart price sticked on it that said $100 and no other info.

And think of the Camel-toe...
Give them a coupon that says you will fix their computer for free the next time they screw it up or some other techie service.

So it's not a problem when they double the monthly rate for everyone on your block because one node can only hold 5 people?

Thank you everyone for taking the first sentance I wrote and then basing arguments on solely that statement.
Talk about not reading the fucking article. Seems that most people couldn't even read my entire post.

Ok, so then measuring your bandwidth usage in terms of the number of movies it represents would be a fair comparison, correct?

I think this is more appropriate.
Seriously, I just started working on it last weekend. Oh well, I wanted the $200,000.00 prize anyways.
At least it confirms that my big number multiplication rountines really work.
read the article. They used a number seive. It sounds like they had some specialized hardware but the article doesn't give much detail.
Rochester, NY.
Directions for Alexander St involved driving through an intersetion for Alexander St, going to the next block and making 3 right turns.
But it takes considerably longer to rip a DVD from Blockbuster than it does to copy the raw MPEG from a standard IDE HDD.

My son wasn't very ambitious, he only killed a floppy drive - by putting quarters into it of course.
Oh wait, and there was the CD-ROM incident. Did you know a CD-ROM can hold 3 discs?
Oh, almost forgot about the attempts at drawing pictures on the monitor - with a metal spoon.
Hmmm, and that time I left Explorer open to the C: drive when I went to the bathroom.
And I can't forget the time he filled the case with CDs by sliding them into a little gap between the actual drive and the plastic bay cover above it.
So how does an editor manage to link to the original story on slashdot, which references the same article link, without realizing it's a duplicate?
