No other printer manufacturer uses the brain-dead installation method that Epson uses. If you don't follow their ridiculously confusing installation foldout (foldout!) and turn on the printer first, you're stuffed. To get around it, you need to run the uninstallation program, then turn off the printer and run a program called epusbun.exe, restart the computer, run the install procedure and turn on the printer when the installation program asks you to.
Excellent! This is the sort of civic mindedness that should be encouraged! I congratulate you on standing up to be counted. You have done yourself, and your fellow Amercian citzens, a great service.
So reduce it to a smaller, less prestigious yacht race. The point here is that a commercial weather service didn't cut the mustard, and people couldn't get accurate information due to the Australia Federal govt privatising the Bureau of Meterology! Incidently, I was not aware that they did this...
No offense, but those in active service and in the reserves should have known that they will sometimes have to do jobs they find morally and physically repulsive. After all, situations change and so do governments. They have also taken a gamble on what the government will and won't do.
"You've got it backwards. This is a public service that the citizens pay the government to provide, that private interests are attempting to take away from us."
You wrote: If your company cannot exist without handouts from the government, then your company does not deserve to exist. This bill is totally justified, the government should not be in the business of competing with corporations. I guess so. I do believe, however, that if you apply that reasoning to the companies pushing for the bill to be passed, then they should not be getting any access to government resources (which they currently receive). After all, in a free market no one corporation should get special help from the government!
He's a little out of date. I requested that I be desysoped some time ago due to the amount of time I was spending on Wikipedia. I am not actively contributing to the website; nor do I have the power to block access to editors, or protect pages, or even do a simple rollback of edits. I did, however, once indefinitely block a user called NSM88 because that user was a Nazi, who displayed a photo of himself (in full Nazi regalia) addressing one of their meetings. If you check out this link you will notice that an anonymous user told me:
I guess this means you will not be crying about the Nazis anymore. What is your problem with Nazis anyway? Did you date a Nazi woman and she broke your heart?? What a shame!!!
Your life isn't worth living anymore so pleasee KILL YOURSELF!
You know I'm right. You've felt this way for a long time. You've probably been thinking about killing yourself for quite some time. I'm here to tell you, it's all right. Go ahead. Do it. It won't hurt. Be brave. All your troubles will be over. You won't have the pain anymore. Everyone else? Don't worry, they'll get by. You never really did fit in in Australia or anywhere else for that matter. Do what must be done.
What do you mean It's not your fault things turned out badly? It certainly IS your fault. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for what you've done in your failed life - and failed to do. Maybe things could have changed if you weren't such a weakling and hate-filled person. You're defective. You've been that way for a long time. You are proof that God makes mistakes.
You disgust me. You should have died a long time ago. You know I'm right.
... are you saying that they don't pay for all their own equipment? They use government equipment, yet they want to stop the government (the providers of infrastructure to run their business!) to stop giving out that information?! wtf? How can they make demands at all?!
I agree with the AC. Stop them from gaining access to all the government satellites if they feel that the government is competing with them!
Seriously, either write to them or call them up explaining that you are about to go out of business because of this proposed bill. Unless they know about you (they most likely won't), then they won't be able to lob this little bomb on Rick Santorum, who then will be unable to say that his bill is designed to protect businesses. After all, it's a bit hard to say this when other senators are giving examples of companies his bill will put out of business!
Seems to me that Havoc wants to create a platform to try out new features that may or may not be accepted by users, and another platform that is more "traditional". When a feature is found to be really useful then they could merge it into their traditional version.
The problem with this, of course, is when the underlying libraries like atk, etc, are altered fundamentally. In that case, things will become a right mess.
Seriously: tough luck to weather companies! If this is a public service for Americans given by their government, then the American public should be allowed to use that service. Considering they paid for it with their taxes, I don't see how this bill could be passed!
... I wonder what the tax implications for the workers are. And what happens if a crime is committed in International Waters? What about a guarantee of workplace safety and anti-discrimination policy?
Why, everyone! Dvorak acts as if they aren't a threat and they shouldn't worry. Very silly: Netscape did the same thing and look at them now!
Microsoft have proven themselves to be a fierce competitor. If they decided to move into image manipulation software, then Adobe would (and should) be frightened. That's because Microsoft doesn't try to compete: it tries to monopolise. That's their whole culture: paranoia that they might become second in the market and thus have their business die. So they act like an 800 pound gorilla and attempt (many times succeeding) to pulverise and totally destroy their competition. And despite the anti-trust trial, they haven't really changed their business tactics.
If you can show me an encyclopedia with footnotes, then I'd be interested in your argument. An encyclopedia is a general reference work, and references should be fine. If you look at my CUPS article, you'll notice that I do inline referencing - the same with the Strathfield article.

They disagreed? We can't have that in this day and age! Won't someone think of the children being killed by terrorists?

Bloody Epson drivers.
The filter programs are part of CUPS. To see this graphically, see this Wikipedia diagram.
Yep, I know. I said this already! It's a moot point, however, as I'm no longer an admin.
Excellent! This is the sort of civic mindedness that should be encouraged! I congratulate you on standing up to be counted. You have done yourself, and your fellow Amercian citzens, a great service.
Why not do both: write to your senator AND the papers?

Read the original message again: it's implied that it is over half the population of the U.S..
Oh, you can vote out the robber-barron, but they'll get you on appeal.

The sig box doesn't allow for enough characters.
"You've got it backwards. This is a public service that the citizens pay the government to provide, that private interests are attempting to take away from us."
OK, good point! I stand corrected.

I think that says it all really.
How amusing, the person posting here (I suspect) comes from the Stormfront forums (a Nazi website).
"What will be the next stupidity, trying to supress the congress by a bunch of private congresists" - uh, I believe they are called "lobbyists" :-)

Someone mod that post up!

I see lots of problems here.

It's discrimination I tell ya!
