  1. Throw my vote to Canon on Printers - Are In-Cartridge Printheads Better? · · Score: 1

    I recommend Canon mainly because they have not pissed me off either on the product side or the buisness practices side. MY old Canon BJC printer lasted a long time and was good with ink (replaced the ink $7-$15 ink tanks about twice a year, maybe three times) OTOH when the Canon did eventually die I got an epson (had an old dot matrix epson which was a good printer for several years before getting the Canon) but the newer Epson printers suck ink down fast and the ink costs about twice as much as Canon ink. Lexmark is quite simply not an option, their actions have shown them to be evil, as well as overpricing their ink even worse than other companies.

    not just ex-con, there is nothing in the constitution prohibiting an inmate from holding the office of President, now the question would be can they pardon themself?

    yes, but nothing would bind the patsy to do so, as it would be illegal to contractually require a donation, thus they could hire him or her, but they could keep the 2 million and retire instead.

  7. Re:Right or wrong doesn't matter... on Indymedia Server Raided by FBI · · Score: 1

    simple solution, in cases not involving immediate and continuing violation of the law (child porn distribution type stuff) when they take your drive they should be required to ghost it to a new drive of the same model or better and give you the fresh, copy drive, since your data that you want is copied back to you immediately.

  8. Re:Directional Diffusers: BAD from my point of vie on Bright LCD Patent Dispute · · Score: 1

    all normal LCD's have a polarizing film, i have read about "privacy" screens which do not have part of the polarizing film, which instead lies in the glasses of the user.

    yes so now making a copy of a game that is illegal to sell in your country is obviosly harming the developers due to lost sales, oh that's right you can't buy or import the game in australia.

    PHP is fine, the problem is that many PHP developers are new to web based programming and don't know how to write secure code.

  13. Re:Energy Conversion on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    in each unit of the reaction you end up with a neutron that becomes a proton, but rather than releasing an electron (yes you can do a Neutron electron+proton, that is how neutron stars form) it is the electron (or more accurately, probably the quarks that make up what would be that electron if not for converting to EM radiation) that becomes energy.

    trade secrets are only protected as long as you proteect them, if someone were to do a molecular analysis of chanel 5 and determine exactly what makes it smell the way it does they could easily release a new product indistinguishable from chanel 5, and sell it for $5/bottle.

    magor differences, aircraft are constantly maintained by professionals, while an automobile is "inspected" at most once per year, and power assist systems in cars are operable even when the power assist fails, while a control-by-wire system you are fuxored when the computer locks in 100mpg hard Right turn mode due to buggy core or "cosmic rays"

  25. Re:Energy Conversion on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    antimatter can never be a safe energy store, by its nature it is extremely volitile and will detonate immediately if it's magnetic containment fails, any device storing antimatter would become an antimatter bomb simply by breaking it or deactivating the containment fields.
