Yeah. And with high interest rates for a debt which can never be repaid that doesn't help much either.

Here in Sweden if you're in heavy personal debt eventually you may be able to get it written of through some system I won't bother with what it's called because it's 07:28 in the morning and I haven't slept yet but anyway. If you do that you lose everything and all your earnings beyond what you need to survive is given to your debtors for five years or whatever and then it's written off.

I assume you may have a hard time borrowing money afterwards too, for some time. But that too is dropped eventually.

It sounds like a good deal.

Until you lose.

The Nokia stock is up above where it was than the Windows phone deal was announced.

Which also was a pretty weird reaction even though it would be in line with what I felt about the ideas before-hand but considering analysts / at least some people had said that was what they should do and then it tanked anyway =P

Anyway. Stock price recovered. And now they don't make phones.

But Nokia didn't only sell smartphones or even mostly smartphones.

They sold future-phones and dumb-phones too.

So you may both be correct.

That they still sold a bunch of phones though shitty ones which couldn't compete in the premium market doesn't really matter all that much.

This isn't really true: Yeah it give twice as much money back in online poker!

If serious then I have no idea. Guess normally it doesn't work since the routing would be weird (if all had the same IP but different mac and routing then I don't know how that would work.) For games performance is most likely latency related and not bandwidth related and there wouldn't be anything to gain from adding other connectivity options than the best one anyway.

$2499 for most expensive Macbook Pro.

I have little knowledge for how it compares without bothering with it and I won't bother.

"Actually it can have three Internets at once. One wireless, one through the included USB Ethernet adapter and one tethered to your phone over Bluetooth!"

It upgrades for free to Windows 10 and you can install most Linux dists for free and in some countries you can get money back for the Windows version. Which likely cost close to nothing too.

How does it help IS?

By bringing fear of death?

So that's what my politicans and media is busy with? Being afraid and hence naive and ignorant lying bastards?

I just though they was politically correct and stuck with the stupid invasion they have brought upon us. With no laws and ruling over the invaders.

And that's because they are women right?

JK. Socialist/libertards (liberals in retarded ways.)

There are lots of solutions:

• JetDirect - print server listens on a TCP socket, clients treat the socket the way they would a serial port with the same printer model attached. No job management or anything, but very simple to implement.
• AppleTalk PAP - printer requests data from client as it needs it, client polls printer for status. Printer status and job management are done in a standardised way for all printers. But it depends on obsolete protocols.
• lpr/lpd - the UNIX equivalent to AppleTalk PAP. Runs over TCP/IP, provides standardised printer status and job management, easy to proxy/multiplex, supported out-of-the-box on most modern operating systems.
• Windows Printing - kind of like AppleTalk PAP but using NetBIOS instead of AppleTalk. All the printer status and job management functionality, but a bit cumbersome to use. Works well on OSX and Windows clients.
• IPP - a "modern" HTTP-based printing protocol. Should do anything the other solutions can do, but better. Used by CUPS, and supported on Windows since Win2k. Also used by iOS for printing.

As for standardised printer control languages, there's HP PCL (printer can be relatively dumb), HP-GL (vector protocol really intended for plotters), SPL (Samsung's equivalent to HP PCL), PostScript (requires fairly heavy runtime to render), and PDF (declarative page description language). A print server should be able to handle at least one of them.

The way it used to work was there were "workgroup printers" with a built-in NIC and print server. They'd usually be able to interpret PCL or PostScript so anyone could print to them with a driver for one of these languages. But they were expensive.

So you could connect a printer to a computer and get the computer to act as the print server and share it on the network. If you had a driver for the printer on this computer, you could make it translate PCL or PostScript to the printer's (probably proprietary) native language so clients still wouldn't need a special driver, only the print server would.

But using a computer as a print server looks overly complex, so you got dumb print server boxes. You can't install fancy print drivers on these boxes, so they just proxy a TCP port to the serial/parallel port the printer is connected to (JetDirect). Each client needs drivers for the specific printer(s), and it prints as though it had the printer attached locally to a serial port.

NetUSB is the next step in this devolutionary chain. It's like the dumb print server adapted to USB rather than serial/parallel. The client machines have a driver for the specific printer(s) and the USB I/O is redirected over the network.

However, if recent history is any indication, Australians like to get screwed over by their government, hence they keep voting for anti-citizen politicians. Must be some kind of collective masochism going on down under.

All our major political parties (Liberal/National, Labor and Green) have anti-citizen policies. Much like the US Republicrat system, while you can choose who's going to be fucking you, you'll still have to bend over.

Should be added to the quote DB ;D

It wasn't the passenger windows that were the issue, it was a radio antenna window, and the failure was because the window was supposed to be glued in but they used rivets instead, and the fractures started at the rivet holes.

Window blinds have to be raised for safety reasons during take-off/landing because sometimes a passenger will be able to see something important or dangerous. Windows do provide some safety as well.
