Not trying to flame, though I'm not sure why this would be considered censoring free speech. As a society, we place markers on adult shops so that minors don't enter them. We place black bars on risque magazines so that minors can't see them. Movies are labeled 'R' or 'NC17' identifying them as adult-only. We have ESRB ratings on games, V-Chip ratings on TV shows, and explicit lyric labels on CDs. Has any of this censored the adult industry or put them out of business? No, what it has done is to inform people about questionable content, so stupid parents don't accidentally plan their seven-year old son's birthday party at a strip bar. It's still illegal in the United States to sell pornography to a minor, and if I walked up to your kid on the street and showed them porn, I'd be arrested. I don't see why the same rules shouldn't apply on the Internet, especially in this age of popup teasers, porn spam, and misleading domain names. So what if the porn industry is forced to use.xxx? It's a slimeball business, and it needs to be marked just like we mark it in the real world.
I hear the citizens of Qatar are quite fond of Americans. And fully automatic weapons are legal. It could make for a fun place to relocate to, especially if Google offered employee perks like company tanks and pot in the caffeteria.
TFA talks about cars getting up to 250MPG, this dude has a car that gets around 80. Am I missing something, or do you have to overclock it to 7Ghz to get that kind of mileage?
All I want is the ability to declare public and private interfaces for GPL products, where public interfaces can be used with any type of license and private interfaces are off-limits unless you're a GPL project.
Word. I've got four kids - 1, 4, 5, and 7. I just built my 7-year old daughter a desktop PC. So far, they've already managed to knock it over a few times either fighting over it (fortunately it still works). She knows that when she learns to repsect the PC and do her schoolwork on it, that she'll get something cooler. Having it compartmentalized (as a desktop) has been helpful also in teaching her about what each part does - the keyboard, the tower, etc and has tweaked her interest in learning about it more. You can't really teach that kind of stuff looking at a laptop. I have enough trouble not dropping my own laptop to want to worry about her with one.
If enforced, these patents could shut down almost every dynamic site on the Internet, including the USPTO
Perhaps that would facilitate some change. It seems that, throughout history, things only got better after they got much worse. Gas prices will probably continue soaring until we have a Boston Gas Party (which will probably be a lot more fun than the Boston Tea Party - at least in the south). The combination of asinine software patents and litigious bastards will most likely continue on too, at least until things get so bad that some as insane as suing the USPTO actually does happen - or until we have our own little patent reform party =)
Ahem. 99% of people who are serious about photography and want to (digitally) print at home use inkjets. The do not use dye-sub printers. Think there's a reason for this?
Yes. 99% of people who are serious about photography are still amateurs.
Today's dye sub printers can do a full 8x10. The old residential dye sub stuff used to be crap, but dye sub has been used in professional print shops for at least a decade and the residential stuff has now caught up with the "real technology". My wife's a professional photographer and swears by them now. We've got an Olympus dye sub, HP color laserjet, and one of the higher end HP inkjet printers (before we found the dye sub). The Oly by far blows away all of the others in terms of photo quality. If you're just printing occasional photos, the laserjet does just fine... but if you want professional looking photographs I haven't found anything as good as a dye sub.
Oh, come on. The old dot matrix printers were waaay better than these modern inkjetty things. At least they were fairly robust..... especially the 9-pin ones
I'm still pissed that we've switched to individualized sheets of paper. My print shop banners suck now without the form feeding edges.
Of course the parent post is a troll. Lots of people want to print an occasional photograph at home and inkjet is the only affordable way to do it.
Thank you for proving my point about how successful misleading information can be in marketing. FYI, OfficeMax recently had a sale on their Olympus Dye Sublimation printers and we bought one for $150. That's cheaper than a good quality inkjet, and Dye Sub technology renders much higher quality photos than these liquid dot matrix behemoths. If you can't afford $150 for a printer than you're either too young to post, or should get back to your college classes and quit reading slashdot.
Sorry, that wasn't meant as a troll. But it is beyond me why we're still using technology that's just a slight spin on the old dot matrix printers. Especially in light of newer and still somewhat inexpensive technologies such as color laser ($400) and Dye Sublimation ($250). Especially considering most people use a color inkjet for photos, which Dye Sub is far superior to. It clicks in my head at least that the only reason anyone's using inkjet today is because of the propaganda from manufacturers who make more money on the ink than the printer.
You suck. This thread sucks. Slashdot sucks. Too many low-IQ dumbasses who can't think rationally. It's this kind of thinking that got companies like SCO into trouble in the first place! Go home you insolent bastard.

how to select an inkjet printer without falling prey to many of the common marketing gimmick
The first of which is that you should buy an inkjet printer in the first place.
