When it comes to number of sexual partners the bell curve for men is a lot flatter than for women.
This means the average women has less partners than the average man - a small percentage of really slutty women are taking up the slack for the rest of them.
It makes sense because those neophytes might actually try another browser. They could even end up comparing it with their friend's choice of browser to see which is coolest..
It gives the people in the list an incentive to make a better browser... based on what users want, not some political agenda. How's that for a radical idea??
If you only print occasionally then an inkjet will dry up and you'll have to clean the heads five or six times every time you want to print something. Five or six cleans is a third of a cartridge so printing gets very expensive.
I've had my laser for two years now and the toner is still 80% full.... and the best part is that I just switch on, print, switch off.
Bottom line: The economics of lasers works no matter what your printing frequency is.
The only reason I can see for owning an inkjet is if you're a professional who needs to print high-def glossies on A4 paper several times a day.
PS: For printing your holiday snaps one of those little sublimation printers is better than an inkjet (or just print them with the machine at the mall).
Plus with a laser you just switch on and print. No head cleaning... watching an inkjet drain all six cartridges just because *one* color is blocked is truly depressing (and I don't believe for half a second that it's necessary).
After owning a laser for a few months I would NEVER go back to inkjets.
The day I switched was when I needed to replace a color in my inkjet, and the new one needed a head clean. By the time it finished cleaning another color needed replacing...rinse, repeat. It took me half an hour to get all the colors working and when I was done a couple of my 'new' cartridges were 25% gone (you want an option to clean a single color? LOL!). I figure it cost me over $20 to print those two pages (and I arrived late for an appointment...)
It was junked soon after that and I bought a color laser. With the laser I just switch on and print. No muss, no fuss.
It cost me about the same as three sets of inkjet cartridges and I figure it's going to print ten times as many pages.
If your printer usage is "occasional" then don't even *think* of buying an inkjet. No, scratch that... just don't buy inkjets, period. Say no. They look cheap in the store but they're the biggest ripoff in IT.

But so true!

Yeah, saddle them with the burden and expense of an old inkjet. Your good deed for the day!
Oh, wait, you made $2 on the deal ... 'donations' FTW !!!!!
Um, that's theft.

...and get completely off the inkjet treadmill.
You will NOT regret it.

I just tried it and it's *WAY* faster than my ISP - web pages start loading a couple of seconds sooner than before.

At least they didn't measure the cable run in furlongs only to have the supplier deliver in bushels. Before the plug fell out of the wall.
They don't *have* to, but it makes sense (for logical, ethical and legal reasons).
I'm guessing it's about as many crews as would have the know-how to effectively use a fancy rope-launcher.
What happens if they spot the line, hook it then pass it over their boat.
I hope the answer isn't "the next ship that comes that way will get a propeller full of rope".

It's "wrong" to let people do it from the comfort of their own homes at the click of a button.
Gambling should be legal but take some sort of effort to do.
Having said that, sending all that money overseas out of the US economy doesn't seem like it's going to help anybody.
