See, I bought a 4100N because HP said on their site (link seems to have changed since I bookmarked it) that they had full Linux support for the 4000, 4050, and 4100 series. Of course, when I tried to use the RPM they provided (for Red Hat 7.1) it didn't want to work because it didn't rcoognize my 7.2 system...
And of course, neither the developer listed by them as being on the project, nor HP itself responded to the emails...
So, my question is, what does it take to print to it from a Red Hat 7.x system?
I think at this point someone should mention that Samuel Ginn has a vested interest in producing wireless engineers.....been a while since I read the Alum mag on the purchase of the CoE, but iirc, Mr. Ginn owns a large regional cellular company.
Being an Alum, I have to say I think that's a lousy name to plaster on the CoE, but nobody asked me, and I can't outbid him, so...;)
Well, I did a year at UAB, and enjoyed it...nice campus if you don't mind dodging bullets on 8th Ave S. in B'ham (kinda close to the Engineering building I might add), but since it's really spread all over south B'ham, it's not exactly a student friendly campus...in fact, it's mostly a commuter campus.
I finished my degree at AU, so I can also speak from experience on that score. AU has a nicer campus, generally nicer people, and the professors and students help each other a lot...
One of my fellow students had been to UAH...I lack knowledge on it beyond getting the idea that it was great for pre-engineering and aerospace.
And then there's that den of iniquity that people call Tuscaloser...I mean, Tuscaloosa...then again we can't all be perfect can we?:)
Hmmm...you don't know Auburn all that well then do you? The Dept of Computer Science there has been administered by th College of Engineering for many many years (maybe I should say, the "Samuel Ginn College of Engineering" (that leaves a nasty taste in my mouth) since they sold naming rights to the school to the highest bidding Alumn. Oh well...still a good school despite the ugly name change.
I'm an AU grad, but I hadn't heard of this. However, if you don't like that, maybe you'd like attending the University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) where it is now mandatory for freshmen to study the Koran and write (positive) reviews about what they read.
Aw come on....you're forgetting the Wal-Mart on College Street, the super Wal-Mart in West Point, various Winn-Dixies, the police and fire stations, and the airport:) >
seriously though...Auburn is a small town and Opelika would dry up without it, but I miss my college days there!
I hate those automated checkout machines at the grocery store...maybe it goes back to the UI class I had in college, but those machines don't "afford" usability, as my professor might say. It doesn't make sense to me to keep trying to scan things til the machine gets it right, then rotate the little baggy carousel, fill the next bag, and so on; particularly if I have a very large cart load, so there isn't enough space on the carousel.
Maybe, despite my course work in CS, the fact that I can build a pc and write code, the fact that I figured out my microwave, stereo system, and telephone, maybe I'm just dumb:)
It seems to me from observation that the USA is mixed in its foreign policy. On the one hand, it tries to play the part of the reluctant superpower that would rather not be involved but is because no-one else can be trusted (and I think it tries to honestly) and on the other hand it very much looks after its own interests when it feels those supercede the global interest.
I love my country, make no mistake, but I also recognize its imperfections. I think our policy on Israel, for example, is horribly wrong. I think our government agencies are trying really hard to ignore the protections our founding fathers set up over 200 years ago. I think its protectionist trade policies are utterly foolish.
Basically I think we generally try to act like good global citizens even as we walk around, noses held high. It's kind of hipocritical, but that's the way it is...
pshaw...we probably borrowed it from someone else....sure am proud to be an American sometimes...FBI is arresting "person(s) of interest" who are here (they say) illegally and detaining them indefinitely, we have secret courts reviewing secret intelligence gathering, and now this....makes me feel like a cross between the Soviet Union, the Matrix, and Minority Report....
you can find that in the Llama book, the Camel book, and elsewhere; basically he was working on a text parsing project, sed and awk weren't up to his task, so he started to write his own tool. Indications are that somewhere in the pre-1.0 stage he completely altered the syntax, breaking everyone's programs, and some of them have yet to forgive him for doing that.
Yeah...they actually did that twice as I recall...but there's rather a difference between remote controled demolition derby and machines with sledge hammers, buzz saws, and so on....now if they were attaching concrete saws to v-6's.... *drool*
Too bad they can't combine Robot Wars with, say, Junkyard Wars....three teams get 10 hours to make their own demolition bots....from whatever they can find in the parts bin....now that would add a new level of interest....

An approach I haven't seen mentioned yet for making sure.org's get registered to nonprofits is to actually make them prove their non-profit status when they register the URL. Maybe it's a novel concept, but it seems to me that if you have to prove your status as a nonprofit to get a.org domain, then you won't have squatters just picking up.org domains.
What does this have to do with the EU?? Linus lives in America, works in America, SGI (who owns the patents) is in America....sure Linus is Finnish, but that doesn't amount to a hill of beans when you consider this is all happening on US soil....
You haven't really been following the US patent office lately have you? It almost seems like today the requirement to get a patent must be that it is blatantly obvious and likely to be disruptive to free commerce.
Yeah but the fact that he replied to a thread detailing the potential patent issues means he knows what's in the thread. Moreover, the tone of his response is a good-old-fashioned "screw them" response. He knows the issues and he's rejecting the patents in favor of writing the code the way he thinks it ought to be written. I tend to agree with his response a little bit. If someone manages to get blanket patents on things that are simple, obvious, too broad, or the only way to do something, then they should be challenged. Otherwise you get someone who has a monopoly, which is bad for everyone except the monopolist.
Oh please. Linus is known for making all sorts of off-the-cuff and politically incorrect remarks. If you really think he's going to hire a hit-man, you need to seriously re-examine your sense of reality. Sure he could have said "we'll cross that bridge if we get there", but I think it's more picturesque the way he said it.
Besides, as several other folks have pointed out, a coder's place is to figure out the best solution to a problem, not to look up who has patented what approach to that problem. Within a certain problem scope, there likely will be very few ways to solve it, and if two people happen to come up with the same solution independently, even years apart, it is usually referred to as co-discovery (unless the first guy has the patent, in which case he tries to prove infringement).
The other point that needs to be made is that it is up to the patent holder to prove the infringement. If they don't bother/know/whatever, then it's no loss. If they do, then either you change the code or you try to work out some kind of arrangement. Sometimes this is via patent portfolio swaps, sometimes licensing, sometimes written acknowledgement, and sometimes the patent holder is just a hard case.
What it boils down to is people should go back to coding and not bristle when someone cracks off a wise remark.
I see. I'm still a bit unconvinced. If I were to describe the political leanings of the/. editorial board, my perspective would be that they are Jeffersonian rather than liberal or conservative.

and just how do you put an axe through a PC?
yeah...I think he was trying to be polite rather than take the "you idiots" approach...call me crazy...
You're just the person I need to talk to.... ;)

So what's our chance against USC tomorrow? :)
Just out of curiosity...where does your college rank on the scale comparative to Auburn? (the whole glass houses and stones thing)
