I would recommend the 4600 over the 4500 if you are going to use manual feed. The manual feed on the 4500 is way sensitive and jams frequently for apparently no reason.
The 4600 has a really weird manual input tray that draws the paper *under* the installed tray. Very strange. And there is a little plastic wheel on the right side of the manual feed tray that can snap off easily if you aren't careful.
All in all though, I would choose the 4600. We have three of them around here and I only ever really get problem calls about the 4500 (and we only have one of those).
I have had great experience with IBM's RMA process on hard drives. You just have to know which hoops to jump through. The magic word is "diagnostics". IBM offers free hard drive testing software here. Just run the fixed disk tests, which include:
controller
hi-low seek
track to track seek
random seek
linear verify
random verify
SMART
and if it fails any you call their parts return at (800) 772-2227 and tell them it failed $TEST. They will ship you a new one with prepaid return shipping on the old one. I usually get the replacement next day, although they only promise 5 day service.
It's ironic this came up because I am in the process of running those diagnostics on a whole box (about 50) of old hard drives to see which ones we can use and which ones are going to meet my hammer:)
Receipts carelessly tossed in a garbage can outside of certain stores (yes, many of them do print your full name, card number and exp. Date)
Shred receipts you don't need and keep secure those you do.
Hacking insecure online servers (many have 1000s of cards in plain text or weakly encrypted)
If you are going to purchase online via credit card, never allow the website to store the data "for your convenience" because then it is in their database. The site should have to ask for your cc# for each and every transaction. If they don't have the option not to store your card info, don't shop there and let them know why.
Consider getting a single, low limit card that you use exclusively for online purchases, particularly one that advertises online purchase protection.
Check you statement monthly or more often (if online statements are available.)
Grab your mail
This is a federal offense, but anyway. Don't forget your mail carrier at Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukah, whatever.
Look in your recycling box
Shred, shred, shred.
Look at your card over your shoulder
Be aware of your surroundings.
Hidden cameras, crooked cashiers/waiters etc

I would refuse to hire "ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD" because as I stated before there are other things to consider such as legal/financial liability and loss of insurance coverage.
And when you let such matters cloud your judgement of the Right Thing (TM), you sir, are a dumbass.
Oh man, you need a smackdown. Do you know anything about merlyn's case? If so, you should recognize that what he was charged with was circumventing security when what he was actually doing was working *for* the fscking client and their bonehead manglement didn't trust their own employee (contractor, employee, whatever - I'm the guy with the root password).
So the question is, again, would you look at the details of the charges and judge for yourself whether the case was just or would you check the box that says "convicted" and just refuse to hire ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!!?
Seriously, I loved the Apple II - they say you never forget your first. The 6502 was a pleasure to learn on - not like the x86. When we got those I took one look at an assembler sample and said fsck that!
Not the sequel; the original. Never has there been such realistic gameplay. I actually played so much one weekend that when I raced up to a stoplight the next day I had the urge to jump out through the sunroof and snipe another driver.
The purpose of this game is to kill a maximum number of people. You may choose to play either for the US or the USSR and the computer will play for the other side. You are supposed to launch Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) at your opponent, who will respond in kind. You can intercept the incoming missiles by launcing Anti-Ballistic Missiles (ABMs). Sometimes ICBMs malfunction and detonate in the atmosphere of veer off course into other countries. Your score is the total number of people killed by the missiles, irrespective of nationality. If you play the US, you can choose to have the Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI) present. It will destroy or deflect incoming Russian missiles and lower your score.
You should also have fire suppression and liquid detection systems. The liquid detection systems are pretty cool. A sensor cable runs all around the floor and zones are mapped on the wall. If you get a leak under the floor (from the chillers, for example) you get an alarm and the panel indicates the zone where you need to start pulling tiles.
I have actually recommended AOL. Once. To a user who was like 70 years old when she got her first computer. It came with a free 6 mo. trial and she wanted the computer for email so I said why not try it out and if she didn't like it she could always switch. I figured the interface would be the most user friendly since they deal almost exclusively with n00bs. Unfortunately, she had trouble seeing the toolbar icons because they were so small and they were not scalable, so I think she ended up dumping AOL for MSN.

Er, sorry dude.
Well, yeah - it's the same video card. X vs. Windows 2000 is the difference, but the driver support under X is obviously fine.
Until someone realizes you have replaced your own job with a script and hires the script to replace you.
Remember that 4.9 MB .jpg of the Hubble deep space shot last week? X took it just fine as a background with my Radeon 8500, but Windows 2000 choked.
None of that applies here, which has been the basis of this entire argument.

The sad truth is that Slashbork would be exactly nowhere without Microsoft
If only we could test that hypothesis.
No.

This is another example of people who don't know what the fsck they are doing messing with those who do. Remember Madonna's website?
If they keep going like this they are going to piss off the wrong people.

Sans reading room has a wide variety of papers. It's not the be-all and end-all of network security, but it's a damn good start.
