So the laws made by the hundreds of different people we elect to make laws after the will of the people... don't matter. Just the opinion of 9 people who we have no say in at all as a people? I don't think so. It's true that they are there to bring justice... but "justice" is defined by the Constitution (as of primary authority) and the laws that those we elected have enacted (as long as they don't contradict the Constitution). Any other "justice" is out of place.

...the idea of printing off your morning paper may have made sense in the science fiction of the 1950's, but HP is crazy if they think people actually want to print out content that they are going to read once and recycle.

I know people that still print out all of their email to read and to store in manila folders if it's something they (think they) will need for a while. If they only need to read it and then get rid of it, then they'll still print it... and then, as you indicate nobody would do, they throw it into the shredder or the recycle can.

These same people would love to have something available to automatically print out the news they want for them every morning so they wouldn't have to go out on the porch and get the newspaper... or heaven forbid, read it on a computer screen.

It's just plain stupid to not give customers the ability to view that content.

Then I guess the web sites who make ad or subscription revenue from people viewing their site better get with it and convert their content to HTML5 (like several large sites have already done) if they want the revenue from those particular eyeballs.

"Official" upgrade cost (for this OS that came with my new computer just over 2 years ago) may be around $100... but if I upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5... then I have to buy a new version of Adobe Creative Suite. That makes the "unofficial" upgrade cost somewhere around $1,900... 300% of the cost of a new Mac Mini.
