Has any of these companies considered having a large cleaning cartridge that has inexpensive cleaner (alcohol?) in it (that you can refill)?
They could treat it as a 9th pigment color.
After you printed and there was not another page in the buffer, it could print with the cleaning pigment and clean the heads (before the ink got completely set up).
most is arbitrary rules making up memes that helped a group of people survive.
Sexual Fidelity causes a lot of pain in some societies. In others- it doesn't cause a ripple. In others, they would consider a person in a one on one relationship unfortunate to be so limited.
Tons of animals cheat- a few don't. Those that don't have less genetic diversity and are easier to wipe out.
Some morality is based on genetics. I think most isn't.
Cars are a very good option for extended warranties if you intend to keep them. The warranties are actually under priced because many people sell the car before reaching 100k miles or 7 years.
If you live less than 10 miles from work you should always get the warranties.
I've paid $3k in warranties on my last two cars ( a dodge- 5 years, and a honda - 4 years ) and they have saved me $6.5k on the dodge and $400 on the honda so far).
Also a lot of "crap" by indies may be pure gold to someone. But they do not appeal to most people.
A lot of "crap" by major lables doesn't make you want to turn off the radio-- it's just empty and pointless. Usually has a non-offensive melody with a few catchy meaningless lyrics as a hook.
The 'mass market' really does exist and funky, wierd, offbeat, new music doesn't appeal to it.
Because no one ever restores them regularly to test them.
I was at a company years ago and argued for both a ton more backups than they were making and for a test restore. They were not in the mood to do either. After about nine months, for some unknown reason they had to restore a file.
And the backup tape was unreadable. The next good backup was 17 days older.
After that we got $30 bucks of backup tapes every week and we had a 7 day rotation with the 7th day going in the vault. And we did regular test restores once a quarter.
You should REGULARLY test your backups. You should have LOTS of backups.
It depends on the band. What you are saying is true for bands from large music companies.
OTH, a regional band in my area named Blue October's CD's are almost like a compilation of greatest hits. Maybe it's because they are still fresh/young and have something to say. I know they love their music enough for the lead singer to come out on a broken leg to sing despite being in obvious pain.
It's tough- I was exposed to them through copies of their music ( a friend wanted me to go to a concert so burned me a CD). Then I went to the concert (k-ching) and later bought a couple T-Shirts online (k-ching, k-ching). Without piracy, I'd have never become a fan.
Actually i think you're right- they are more releasing quality only and not rushing to produce filler. So they are really in the mode you are suggesting we should be in.
It's a shame for the "one hit wonders".
I don't see any point in the huge cut RIAA takes and a trivial search reveals sites saying how with a million records sold AND a concert tour, some bands still OWE money to the industry. That's just not right. That's downright evil.
Co worker was required to collect 400 SCREEN shots of a file before and after changes to the file and paste them into the SOX document.
You see- a backup copy of the file wouldn't satisfy auditing requirements since "it might be changed".
Of course bitmaps are so much harder to change than a backup copy on a lockbox system.
INSANE INSANE INSANE.
I'm so glad i don't develop now. My job is doing these processes and helping the developers focus on the work now. I'm happy- they are universally happier. I used to be so frustrated. It had reached a point of 3 months of documenting for 1 month of development which really meant about 24 hours of coding time.
I'm sorry but I got in this job because I liked CODING and DEBUGGING. In fact, I really prefer DEBUGGING because of the constant mini "AHA"'s. I can't even keep my skills up on 24 hours of coding per 4 months. Neither can anyone else- so the business either accepts longer projects (throw in an extra month for stale skills) or they just outsource to a contract company that DUH HAS NO SOX REQUIREMENTS (because it can do the project 5x as fast).
The oldest coder I ever actually knew actually worked with 4k production systems that read the programs off of tape. I'm not sure when they stopped the switching and plug wires.
And I was glad someone else picked up the plug boards. B)
Okay-- could anyone have entered those search terms including a guest to her house, a worker in her house, or her husband?
Is there anything to prove that she had exclusive control of the computers?
I agree, it's okay as one piece of circumstantial evidence in a mass of other circumstantial evidence. But I would never convict someone based on that alone.
I do not see a particular problem with it either. I just think it is a bit weaker than they try to portray.
Courtesy of Riaa, we have a huge caseload of work showing those accused based on computer logs and it later turned out that they were a) innocent b) didn't own a computer c) were computer illiterate and not likely to be the perpetrator.
There is a tendency of the computer ignorant to say "HA! IP address matches! You are guilty" when in reality the evidence is extremely weak. Unless they can show she had exclusive access to those computers- it is very weak evidence to put away someone for 20 years (or even worse- sentence them to death).
There is nothing uniquely capitalist about using political power and connections to be treated differently by the justice system. It happens all over the world. It's always happened here in the US too.
In some cases, actually offering money (aka capitalism) will get you in more trouble while hinting that you can get them a job, an invite to the party, get their relative a nice fat government contract, is safer and more effective. It's so popular even communists and fascists do it.
It seems easy but I can see that Dell has to be very wary of legal issues when taking advantage of any kind of "free" labor. Also, there are probably some big wheels in Dell who have strong microsoft ties so just getting to this point has required a big political battle.
Whoever is pushing linux really can't afford to fail or for this to turn into a mess.
I don't care if something works at the kernal- I want my bloody USB device to work. If the distro's are not different in some way, then how are they different distros?

Okay..
It doesn't require imagination.
I'm looking forward to your enormously popular video of similar quality and originality.
Houston is completely locked up.
You get paid the "live" rates they decide, or you don't play.
If you try to start a new live band club, you must join the organization or no established acts can play at your place.

The problem with inkjets is that they can stand almost no downtime.
I too use a color laser (Samsung 500).
Toner was expensive- but I haven't refilled it a couple years after refilling the 1500 page cartridges it came with.
It can sit for days- weeks- at least once for a couple months, and then when I decide to print something- it just works.
When you can get black & white laser printers for under $100 now, there is just no excuse not to have one for your typical document printing.
I suppose the dye sublimation printers may also be reliable since they are also from solid inks.
Plus all the other benefits of laser (no/very slow fading! completely waterproof!)
Ink jets are good for things like iron on patches I guess. Or if you print all day every day.
Still- not sure if a $30 ink jet cartridge does as many pages as a $115 laser (5k pages).
Just the fact they can't rate the number of pages for ink jet tells me something.

hehe.
In our case, we worked with a lot of gold and it was a REAL vault.
A big one. our tapes took up bout 2 cubic feet.
That's exactly what was happening in my case and why they wouldn't take the time to restore.
"The backup software says the backup is good. Let's move on. We have real work to do."
And, I have ot say those numbers were smelly. Not sure where they pulled them from.. but...
Because no one ever restores them regularly to test them.

What's up with the troll mod? I see nothing trollish about this as all.
Go ahead-- waste your mod points modding me down.

Perhaps this will help you understand the problem with this kind of evidence...
The doctor says,
"Someone called me from a phone at her house and asked about poison."
Cause that's all the computer evidence says.
Someone- unknown- with access to her computer- which may not require a signin- googled for those items.
They are going to say in court "SHE googled for these terms" and if her lawyer is any good, they'll object and say "SOMEONE googled."
I know. Sometime between 1980 and today, they seem to have lost all shame.

Basic point... linux users are too fussy and it discourages vendors from installing it.
For every linux user who would work like you do, another 99 would bitch if dell ships a preinstalled linux box that doesn't run everything perfectly.
It seems easy but I can see that Dell has to be very wary of legal issues when taking advantage of any kind of "free" labor. Also, there are probably some big wheels in Dell who have strong microsoft ties so just getting to this point has required a big political battle.
