If all the printer manufacturers locked their cartrages then cartrage prices would be less influenced by direct competition.
Ink price is not the only factor concidered when purchasing a printer. I'm a freelance digital artist, quality was the main reason in my choice of printer... the quality of the printer and the quality of the different types/brands of inks availiable. If they locked the cartrages then there would only be the manufacturer's selection.
As far as I know, the fast switching of images or light can give some people vertigo. My flight instructor told me about a chopper pilot that got vertigo from sunlight shining through the rotors of his aircraft and into his eyes. It caused him to crash. The pilot reported nausea aswell. I don't know if that's the same thing as what the refresh rate does to that fella's friend.
Yes and No.
Watch what happens to fishing industries when there is no Govt regulation, it just becomes a free for all and unfortunatly there is more people than not that have the ability to commercially fish that couldn't give a toss what a private research firm said about overfishing.
I'm not even a Star Wars fan, but anyway....
The time it takes to complete the death star might be indicitive of the relative stability and industrial might at the time. So the first Death Star was laid down and commisioned when the the empire was new and still consolidating, whilst the second one began during or after the construction of the first when the bureaucratic and military control of the empire was more solid.
Or they could have just fucked it up.
I good friend of mine that lives nextdoor to me used to be in the Foreign Legion, then after that did Mercenary work (which he regreted). So he's been around a bit and seen many different places with their own particular gun culture. When I asked him about what he thought on gun control, he replied it depends on what country you are refering too. Some countries where there is gun control (like Australia, where I live) he hopes that the gun laws never get relaxed, even though guns were never a large problem here, but in other countries where there is little restriction it seems natural the way it is since there is an embedded culture and history with guns amongst the citizenry so general inappropriate use of firearms is quite low. On the other hand there are countries where guns are rife and there is no control. Guns are prevailent everywhere in those places and there is no responsible behavour since they became availiable to them suddenly and in numbers without the history and proper gun culture to prevent people from using them for situations in which they shouldn't be.
That's his opinion on it anyway and he's one of the few people that has actually been on the receiving end of the result of various states of gun control/proliferation from region to region.
I know its a bit offtopic, but it does highlight that what may be a good solution for one region may not suit so well for another. So comparing them against each other may not give much relevence.
Wind power is also relatively non-disruptive
I used to live near a wind turbine that is on the outskirts of a medium sized wind farm. They are the most disruptive energy producers I can think of to be near in terms of effect on people (and possibly animals).
The low frequency noise produced by the machine played havoc on sleep (you got none) and can drive you to the point that you think of any stupid excuse not to go home. I had to sell up and move, it had got so bad, due to the fact it was starting to effect every part of my personal and professional life from sleep deprevation and stress.
I realise you were referring to the environment, but some of these 'green' solutions to power generation produce an effect to its surrounds other than what is normally addressed when their impact is reviewed.
Wind power is often viewed, here at least, to be one of the most cleanest methods of producing energy and I believe that to be true.....as long as you don't live near them.
Riiiggghhhttt....So anyone posting an honest question about something they don't know about gets replies from people like you. At least the guy above you didn't wimp out and post AC. Afraid of a girl are we?
I hate to break it to you, but if you're on call "24 hours, seven days a week for 335 days per year", you don't have a life
Actually on average I work less hours per day than most people. I spend about 4 hours per day sorting shit out, then I go. I only get called if there is a fuckup.
I object to the on-call people being in movie theatres. Go see the frickin' movie on the night when you're NOT on-call.
I'm on call 24 hours, seven days a week for 335 days per year. I have to have a phone on me all the time. Obviously by your view I shouldn't be allowed to go to the movies. Whats wrong with sitting near the exit and having the phone on vibrate? I suppose you have a 9 - 5 job and can't understand that other people who work different hours should have a life as well.
You are so wrong and missing the whole point. According to you, i can use your name and identity and send emails to your friends all day long with no retribution.
Well, perhaps you would get no retribution legally, but judging from that behavour I would immediatly see that you no longer require your kneecaps and will forcefully remove them at a time of my convenience.

I don't know whats sadder, this troll or the fact that I read his entire post.

As long as the competition don't follow suit then this decision by Lexmark might turn out to be beneficial to the likes of HP and so on.
Right you are
One wonders if good ol' Steve will make a cameo appearance. Especially doing that used car salesman type type ad he did in the early 80's.

Notice how AC easily posted a biting remark, yet couldn't bring himself to post non-anonymously? How brave. Probably reflects his nature in real life.

Decent acceleration with 30horsepower? I ll stick to my 500hp V8 muscle car me thinks. :)

A really rough guess is about 40 - 60rpm. Is that classed as high or low rpm you think?
I'm not sure on the actual age of the technology used in the turbines, but the farm itself was constructed after 2002.

Being female is no excuse for not first trying to comprehend the material The only person to imply that is you.

What I was getting at is if it was a porting or the application ran in a virtual OS.
I don't have any programing skills or anything, but does this relate to porting win32 applications to run in Linux?

Nobody does it, that's what. I always sit next to the exit.
