Comment Get a Brother printer (Score 1) 970

Local Cartridge World here used to push Canon printers, but now Canon are forcing people to buy new ink. (They, Epson and other printer manufacturers sabotage their printers so they won't work with refilled cartridges.)

If you buy a Brother inkjet printer, all their cartridges can be refilled at a fraction of the cost and they don't play games with their
printers/cartridges to prevent refilled cartridges from working.

Comment OpenBSD enterprise use (Score 2, Insightful) 310

As someone who had used Linux quite extensively for the past 11 years, I recently started rolling out OpenBSD servers at my job. Two OpenBSD firewalls power our production network (using CARP/pfsync) and they do it flawlessly.

In our office, an OpenBSD firewall connected to two DSL modems is able to load balance traffic out, and do proper asymmetric routing. All this thanks to the developers who make a lot of great, innovative code for pf, CARP, pfsync, etc..

I couldn't do any of this properly with Linux, especially not the asymmetric routing.

I've worked on OpenBSD ports to make them better. I've found the developers friendly and helpful. The code is quite solid.

Comment Frontal lobe not entirely wired up + Gun (Score 1) 839

Our brains wire themselves from back to front from babies and our frontal lobe isn't fully wired until age 25. The frontal lobe of the brain controls (paraphrased from Wikipedia): "...the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions (or better and best), override and suppress unacceptable social responses, and determine similarities and differences between things or events."

It's quite obvious he had severe anger management issues, couple that with the fact that he's a teenager and wouldn't be thinking of the consequences of his actions, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Video game addiction is real. When you can't get your fix, you act just like a drug addict. I was the same with World of Warcraft over 2 years ago. I didn't kill anyone over it. I think if the gun had no been around in the house, this tragedy could have been averted.

My cousin used to work for Sony in Culver City. He said when Sony made trailers, those bits they used were put there to be misleading on purpose. To make it look like a different film.

Hell, if you want to see what a trailer can do to a film check this out. :D
