A set of 4 tanks costs about $40-50 though, 1/3 the original price of the printer.
Check into refills. Go to inksupply.com, they have instructions on their site that show exactly how to refill the carts. I have a Canon and it takes me about 2 minutes per cart to refill (slightly longer the first time) and cost is about 60 cents per tank to fill them.
I've refilled all the colors on my i970 over 20 times each and have never had any trouble whatsoever; not even a clogged nozzle.
(not affiliated with inksupply.com, just a happy customer).
Amen bro. Canon is the easiest to refill. I've had one for over a year and have refilled each cart over 20 times. I have yet to buy a single cartridge. Dirt cheap to run. Never a single problem; not even a clogged head (my old HP and Epson printers constantly needed nozzle cleaning cycles even when I ran factory ink carts). I did buy my Canon new.
No, but part of the point is that all that crap is only there to gyp the customer. The real purpose of the circuitry is to prevent refilling (for the "tell when it's empty" chips). The integrated printhead/ink carts are also a scam. They use a thermal ink system which is guaranteed to break down in only 2 or 3 refills. Epson/Canon/(maybe others) use a piezo system with permanent printheads, and I've never had one wear out in thousands of printed pages.
I use a Canon printer, and the ink tanks are just plastic boxes full of ink. I've never bought one. I have refilled the ones that came with the printer dozens of times per color, and have never had so much as a clogged nozzle.
My first two printers were HPs, which were nightmares, even if I bought factory carts. I don't know why the hell anyone buys those on purpose, unless they assume all the others are just as bad.
My next was an Epson, which was OK but hard to refill, and one day just stopped working. Epson wanted more in a flat rate repair than a new printer cost.
Now I'm on Canon, and couldn't be happier. Refilling a tank takes less than 2 minutes, and I don't even get a drop of ink spilled.
I know, normally getting government subsidies is bad news, but in this case it may make sense. ASSUMING this is a viable process in the first place (IE net output of energy), reducing the taxes on the diesel fuel made from waste makes sense if it reduces the tax burden elsewhere (like if some waste processing facilities or landfills have to be built or something). Also, there's something to be said for the old saw of reducing dependence on foreign oil. If this is a viable way to make the waste diesel competitive with dino-juice diesel, it may be worth considering.
You're thinking of the Model 1. The Model 100 was a portable, 24K max RAM, no expansion chassis. I have 3 of them in my basement, they all still work, I was using them for field note taking last year.
I had a model 1 as well, with expansion chassis. I eventually put the main CPU board (lower board in the keyboard part and the expansion chassis CPU into a homemade wood box, with a DB25 going out to the keyboard. I soldered the expansion chassis to the main board permanently, eliminating that problem. The RS232 interface was really flaky. I added a double-density interface to it, and ran NEWDOS-80 which supported the humongous 360K floppy drives. Using that awesome amount of storage, plus a hacked 300 baud dumb modem (hacked so it could detect ring and pick up the phone and dial by having the driver twiddle the DTR line), I was able to have a pretty advanced BBS online (written in BASIC).
Yeah, it must have been tough before then. They either had to have the self-propelled kind (on 2 legs), which are high maintenance, or one of the old stationary, steam-powered ones.
My question is: why is the state of Michigan going after buyers (not vendors) in restrospect rather than trying to enforce the law better? I don't find that out in the FreeP article.
Why does the IRS persue people who have committed fraud on their taxes? Because they can and are required to. When people don't pay their taxes, it's the job of the DOR (or whatever agency) to try to collect them.
IMHO the state is being very lenient in only charging back taxes. I don't know if there is a provision for penalty for unpaid taxes as there is with income tax, but these people knew, or should have known, that they were avoiding taxes.
There was an article in the local paper (Ann Arbor, MI) where they interviewed a woman who had been billed over $2000. She admitted that she knew she was dodging taxes. She was upset but realized she'd done something wrong (while trying to downplay it, of course; nobody wants to admit guilt).
You forgot one thing: Smokers have a right to use the world as their ashtray. They start with flicking butts out the window of their car (which is bad enough) but almost every time I see someone littering, they have a cigarette in their mouth. I think they just get used to throwing their disgusting crap anywhere.
The cigarette tax pursuit is aided by a 1947 FEDERAL law specifically geared towards tobacco that authorizes states to use these measures to subpoena records from other states. I don't think officials trying to collect state sales taxes would have that authority.
NOTE: I'm going from memory from an NPR story I heard on the way in this morning. 1947 may not be accurate.
Actually, the 97% of software makers will just update their software. If it doesn't stop 100%, then within weeks it will stop 0%.
Now, the hitch would be if it stopped 97% because of hardware issues, like, you couldn't rip it in 97% of the DVD-ROM drives out there. That might be a problem. But it's hard to imagine a scheme that allows computer drives to read the data enough to play the movie but not enough to rip it.
Netflix or Blockbuster. I have a friend who works at a Blockbuster in a bad neighborhood (low income area). She says even there, rent-n-rip is rampant; there are a lot of customers using their "2-at-a-time" netflix-competition plan, coming in and getting two discs, bringing them back 2 hours later, getting two more discs, lather, rinse, repeat.
I bet you said the same thing about cameras in phones. I still do say the same thing about cameras in phones. And color screens on phones for that matter.
I dropped my cellphone contract a few months ago. If I ever have to get one and can't get a phone without all that crap in it, I'll probably just give up and decide I don't really need a phone, anyway.
or at least, similar stuff. I use long phrases, but only the first, or first two letters of each word. Perhaps capitalizing every other letter. so that last sentence might give you a password of "PeCaEvOtLe". Or alternatively, the letter count of a phrase, so "I like yams" would be 144 (you'd use a longer phrase of course). Or the first 10 digits of PI, typed with the shift key held down: #!$!%(@^%#. There are a ton of possibilities, just be creative.
It's moving like hell compared to any large body in the galaxy, or the average.
I remember this story: Professor: The temperature in this kind of reaction is about 3 million degrees. Student: Is that Celcius or Kelvin? Professor: It doesn't matter!
IOW, the difference between C and K at ~3m* is insignificant. In the same way, the speed of this star is practically the same from any point of reference near any star in the galaxy.
I'd love to print this in mural size. Also, I hate quicktime. I didn't see any way to DL just the image itself. Has anyone else stitched the images into a large image?
where does Bush prove that the kyoto protocol isn't based on science,
I don't think Bush mentioned whether Kyoto was based on science or not when he decided to back out. It "would have economic impacts." Well, no shit. What, you think you were going to get paid to curtail emissions?
In other words, we were the world's leader in getting the planet into the shape it's in now, but even though we're one of the richest nations on the planet, we're leaving it up to the rest of you to do anything about it, because we aren't willing to spend a dime on fixing this.
The Hubble has no boosters, so there's no provision for controlled deorbit. It has only reaction wheels for orientation. If no visit is paid to at least strap on a de-orbit pack, the Hubble will reenter in an uncontrolled fashion. The US is a signatory on a treaty which prohibits us from allowing dangerous space junk from entering in an uncontrolled fashion over populated areas. Therefore we have to visit the Hubble at least to deorbit it. If we're going there anyway, why not put on the de-orbit pack AND new batteries, instruments, gyros, etc?
It's lens, not lense. And it's not a lens, it's a mirror. And it wasn't the wrong size, it was figured with a slight spherical abberation. And it wasn't the designers or engineers that got it wrong, it was the company that made the mirror for them; a backup made by Kodak was actually made per spec and has no such problem. And besides, they fixed that years ago, 100% fixed. And the image processing techniques that they were forced to develop due to the mirror problem are still being used on both space and ground based telescope imagery.
Slashdot Mirror
I called Epson and they emailed me instructions on how to do the reset nerve pinch. I didn't even have to swear at them.
The printer went belly up a while later anyway but they were helpful on this point.

The fact is that France, because of the Academie Francaise, is preventing language degeneration
I think you misspelled evolution there. Had the Academie been in place for 10,000 years, frenchmen would still be grunting.

The knife and/or sharp things in general.
The wheel.
The lever.
The inclined plane.
Paper & graphite pencil.
Gunpowder & related technologies.
Boats.
All still in use everywhere today. All have been improved upon, but never really replaced.

Smokers apparently also have the right to overreact.
Read what I said. I did not say all smokers litter. I said nearly all litterers are smokers.
