Because if you work in a large company with thousands of users and multiple locations you don't want to go to every new persons computer and manually install all their local printers for them and then do it again if they happen to be visiting another office and then revert those changes when they come back.

If you have print servers running on Windows servers with Active Directory you can put in Group Policies so that every time your user logs in they get automatically get access to the printers they need and only the ones they need.

Also if you need to update the print driver you just have to do it on the print server instead of going around doing it on every fracking workstation.

There are many other benefits as well (such as it offloads the actual print process to the server) but the ones above are probably the main ones.

Many apartment buildings have this and I suppose some neighbor duplicating keys could be an issue.

That also makes me wonder though about those keys that say "Do not duplicate" on them and those machines I've seen in stores that let's you make duplicate keys with no interaction of a person - do these machines have some way of detecting that a key is not supposed to be duplicated?

LG just recently changed the warranty on their G6 from one year to two years.

So there is at least one manufacturer that offers a >1 year warranty.

First those aren't technological problems - they are social and political problems.

Second - there are technologies around that easily circumvent all of those things and there always will be.
Government moves at a snails pace when compared to technological changes.

You would be very wrong. There are many towns that have a walmart that killed local businesses when they moved in that were under 10k people. Including my hometown where I grew up in which was at about 6k people when they opened and is at about 7k people now. One independent grocery store has survived but only out of loyalty of the hispanic population.

It's 250k for an individual and 500k for a couple.

Dictionaries are descriptive and NOT proscriptive.

Self studied and then paid a modest amount for some classes to obtain my first IT Certification in 1999.

Used that to get a support position in 2000.

Continued working my way up the ladder in IT jobs for the next 17 years.

Now making a 6 figure income

At least half the people I work with have gone a similar route and the company I work for even has an apprenticeship program for paid work/study position for one year and then advance them into an actual position and they will even take people with no computer skills as long as they have the right personality and drive to succeed in IT.

I believe within that 100 years, if we don't nuke ourselves, we will have the capability to digitize our brains and become immortal pieces of code. At that point I think it's likely flesh and blood human populations will shrink considerably. And even if it doesn't those individuals who have chosen to be digitized can now leave this planet and explore the universe without the need for all that stuff required to support fleshy life.

If that does occur then humanity will live forever - just not in its current form.

Article says "on premise" when they meant "on premises."
I had to stop reading right there..

I have *never* paid for cable service and have always had some kind of DSL except once when I lived somewhere I could get fiber to my house.

Was an early adopter of netflix and have never had an issue streaming from them or any other streaming service I have used - and that's even in times when I had slow DSL (6 down / 1.5 up).

Currently my DSL is 80down/10up.

Except that for most things you spend more when you buy at walmart because the quality is much lower. The Levi jeans you buy at walmart (or almost any other name brand product) is not the same as the levis you buy at say jc penny. They look the same but the quality is actually much lower and so they don't last as long. That's how they sell things cheaper than other stores. They get companies to make and sell them an inferior version of their product for less money. Go search for the article on the guy who said no to walmart. It explains it a lot more. I never buy anything from walmart either because of this and because of how shitty they treat not only their employees.

Hey I do the same thing -work 12 hour shifts and only 15 days a month or so. I really enjoy it, amd am a a few pounds overweight but definitely not fat and I have son much extra days off my sex life definitely doesn't suffer. I could stand to exercise more but I am working on that too.

While godaddy is about the worst I've seen/heard complaints about many registrars regarding this kind of thing. So my question is who is a good registrar that won't immediately take down your site due to a DMCA or any similar notification without letting you have your say first?
