I concur. Lexmark lasers are awsome. I would take a Lexmark laser over an equivalent HP any day. They're the low-end of industrial, and are built like it. I've gotten millions of pages out of some.
I should also point out that I repair printers, and would rather repair a Lexmark T6xx series over just about any other printer on the market. Pretty easy to work on, the parts are affordable & readily available, and they just last forever. I had one at an Office Depot copy center that had over 2 million pages and still had better registration than their $20k Xerox black copier.
Now, their inkjet on the other hand, is only useful as a doorstop. I think their inkjet & laser engineering departments are completely disconnected.

They would just respawn at 15 years old every time, probably right after their first kiss or some other major life event, and every time they'd be raving about how amazing it was. Or they'd only have one backup from right before they die of some incurable disease, just to die over and over again. Yeah, that could get old.

If they did that, police would lose a huge revenue stream. Not going to happen.

In my opinion, the president is simply a figurehead for the amoral American populace. Most people aren't outraged by an omnipotent president because it's exactly what they want. People wouldn't be partying in the streets if they were disgusted by his actions. Corrupt politicians are a symptom, not the disease.

So sad, but so true. I still am ashamed of the way my country partied when news of OBL's death hit the news. Everyone -- not just US citizens, and not just those who can afford lawyers and years of their life wasted -- deserve a prompt, fair trial. Now, in all fairness, I completely support the death penalty; but only after a fair trial by jury. Besides that, even without having his medals stripped and his ability to compete revoked, his name has forever been tarnished. The issue here is twofold; First, he should have received a fair trial before receiving any punishment. Second, he should have received a fair trial before being accused publicly in the media. Even if he were exonerated or all charges dropped, his reputation has been forever tarnished, which is a lifetime punishment for anyone in the public eye.

Same here, I've been typing one-handed for years, usually because I work on the move a lot, and use the other hand to hold my laptop. I can type about 60wpm with both hands, about 40wpm right-handed, and probably 30wpm with my left. You'd be amazed how quickly you can learn to type on a regular keyboard one-handed. I originally learned how because of a nasty bee sting that swelled up my left hand for about a week & a half. The transition only takes a day or two and you're typing without looking as if you've always been 1-handed. Brackets & such are easy, because the Shift key is not far from them.

Largely personal preference, but I won't buy anything but Logitech. I get about a year out of a battery in my laptop mouse with a 4' range. My MS laptop mice never lasted more than 6 months, and have a range of about 18" LOS (which really sucks if your only USB ports are on the left side of your laptop). I've had 3 MS and 5 Logitech wireless mice, with pretty consistent results from each, except that Logitech desktop mice use 2 batteries and have twice the range. The only real complaint I have is that the keyboard encryption can only be set up from a Windows application, and has to be re-set every time the batteries run completely dead, which is a nuisance for full-time Linux users like myself. In my computer shop, Logitech's the only 'name brand' we carry.

They may be the best for throwing, but you've gotta remember that they're also the slowest, so they probably don't go very far.

Come on, we all know this is just active camouflage for the military.

Murderers get 3-12 years, unless they're serial killers or get a lot of media attention. Stealing anything under $1000 won't even get you prison time (maybe 6 months in jail if it's a repeat offense and you can't pay the fine). Drunk driving (in my state) is a $300 offense. A stolen loaf of bread would likely get you a night in jail and a $100 fine, at the most.
Now, if you commit a serious crime, like littering on a highway, fishing without a license, or using a cell phone in a car, you'll get 1000's in fines and prison time for repeat offenses. So just don't commit a serious crime.

This just seems like a lot of work to infect a windows PC. Especially considering the relatively good track record Apple has at preventing malware from appearing on their platform. I almost half wonder if this is more of a proof-of-concept for a bored hacker.

Not being sarcastic at all, but I would really like to see some statistics on how many average citizens in a foreign country (especially an ally) the FBI has enough interest in to invest the time to subpoena their browsing habit information. It just seems like an empty fear.
Remember, we aren't talking about warrantless automated mass wiretapping, airport screens, and the like -- the fear here is that it's possible to search you. It's like the difference between refusing to fly, because you're guaranteed an invasive search at the airport, and refusing to drive anywhere because it's hypothetically possible you'll get stopped in a roadblock (in all my life, I've never even seen one, and I've driven about 300,000 miles so far.)
It's one thing to resent a rights-infringing practice that's happening, and quite another to switch your Internet service because it's hypothetically possible a foreign government could subpoena your records. Don't forget: if, for some reason, the US wants your browsing habits, they'll find a way to get that info anyway, whether it automatically travels through a US server or not.

My US-based Business stores user's information (I own a repair shop, we document model & S/N, names, addresses, etc, just like any other company), but that doesn't mean we share that information with the US government. What leap of logic could possibly lead people to believe that just because the server is in the US that the US Feds have access to it, or even care? Sure, the Feds like to spy on us (citizens), but why would they care what you (Aussies) shop for on eBay? Even if you can come up with a decent conspiracy theory, is it likely enough to warranty a story recommending people switch carriers?
Very misleading summary.

Oh, definitely; I'm never going to buy the original Eiffel Tower or Statue of Liberty. Stephen Sauvestre & Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi haven't received a cent of royalties in ages! Proof that pirating hurts artists!

Fair point. But I've come to the conclusion that anything a cop wants to do magically becomes legal. A great allegory of the police system in America is Senior Chang from the TV show Community.
