I was browsing the Internet for a substitute for my Lexmark e210 printer toner and I found something very interesting. The Samsung 1210 laser toners are the almost exact same as the Lexmark e210 toners. While Lexmark prohibits refills of their toner cartridges, Samsung does not. It turned out that a clip inside the Lexmark laser printer has to be removed inorder for the Samsung toner to fit. Checkout this site here http://mmrc.caltech.edu/colin/other/misc/20030315/and it will show the modification to the Lexmark laser. Bottom line, you 'can' use Samsung laser toners inside Lexmark lasers using and also using refill kits. This will save a Lexmark owner countless dollars on toners.
Labeling extact capacity would make you have a long list of actual capacities.
AND
1. 1000 megabytes does not equal 1 gigabyte. - Most stupid advertising error made to bend down to non-literate computer users. - Knowledgable people would not buy from a supplier that advertises as such.
2. Deceptive warranties. - Maxtor and Seagate should have a true standard warranty based on 'one' warranty system. - Some drives sold in systems have 1 year warranty instead of 5 years to lower costs for manufacturers.
Why would a company choose to pay $1500 for StarOffice 7 when they can download Openoffice for free?
I see a reverse sense of logic, which must nowadays be part of the standard American corporation.
That is why people pirate music all the time. The industry rips us off by charging us so much.
As for Chicago, how would the music alone cost $12? and the DVD with 1 1/2 hour video + making + music be $15? (Also you have to consider the costs of the media it's on... DVD is more expensive than CDR media).
Comes down to corporate greed and basic capitalism.
This is a time where *nix servers to shine. I never really recall any major news about worms spreading into secure *nix environments. Viruses targeted towards Microsoft operating systems cause much more disruption than viruses made for *nix simply because there are illiterate computer users that think Windows is the 'only' operating system on the market and they won't switch over to anything else. By those people using Windows, they are allowing themselves for their data to be openly accessible to anyone that spreads these trojan horses and worms across the internet. Many people open thier email attachments without looking and I just wonder how many internal government servers are infected with worms and trojans.
The *nix community has to do something substantial to sway Windows users to switch. If Microsoft can't provide safe software and charging a hefty price for using their operating systems that just get discontinued for support, then *nix is the way to go.
It's not VMware's responsibility to make Windows apps to work in *nix. It would be nice to see some or even all software vendors to switch to the *nix platform.
On the last note, it wouldn't be surprising if a similar worm/virus caused the power grid to shutdown Thursday. Transmission lines going down because of a powerplant going offline to voltage swaying shouldn't affect two countries at the same time.
Hi,
I was reading the counterclaim of IBM and I just laughed at every section. SCO is so royalling f**ked. If SCO is profiting by distributing and selling licences that include code from GPL code which is the work of other contributors, then I smell a class-action lawsuit against SCO from the millions of linux developers under the GPL.
SCO should be sued for punitive damages, charged with stock fraud, and for every cent they received from their 'Fortune 1500' customer list.
If SCO tells me to pay for a linux licence, I will immediately call my lawyer to get the courts to charge SCO with fraud. Linux code, AIX code, etc, etc is not SCO's code. Simply packaging your code with GPL code does not make you have the rights to the code you did not develop.
What SCO is doing is like telling Microsoft that you own their source code and demand licencing fees.
SCO - another WorldCom, Enron, Martha, etc, etc.
Best quote, "IBM has more patent litigation lawyers than SCO has employees."
If it's less costly for IBM to buy-out SCO instead of incurring legal fees, then I think IBM should swallow up SCO. Case over.

Hi.
The format that you use on your hard drive varies between standards. Such as:
1. FAT, FAT32, ext3, ext2, NTFS
2. Cluster size (4K, 16K, 32K, etc)
Labeling extact capacity would make you have a long list of actual capacities.
AND
1. 1000 megabytes does not equal 1 gigabyte.
- Most stupid advertising error made to bend down to non-literate computer users.
- Knowledgable people would not buy from a supplier that advertises as such.

- Maxtor and Seagate should have a true standard warranty based on 'one' warranty system.

No, but the media is still cheap. Whether it be CD or CDR.
That is why people pirate music all the time. The industry rips us off by charging us so much.
