The Linux drivers require a version of Libtiff from 1993, and have never been updated - ever.

Please, when can we have a hack that makes these printers print in Linux?

Or *BSD support?

Or Android support?

Of course its rejected. Bacon is the only way! (Sausage is for Emacs users).

You have obviously never been to west africa. People there can and do ignore the governments, which are mostly irrelevant to every day life on a scale American libertines and European anarchists cannot imagine. The whole concept of "they should do X" is laughable. There is no one who can or will do "X". Life is not like that.

If they do their own distro, they can call it Tunix, unless Asterix and Obilisk got there first!

If he knew what a Macbook was, he would not have said that.

"Lumia" is Latin for "burned out deck" - you missed the benefits of public school education ;-)

at least in the UK. Mistakes made before the age of 27

Maybe, but crimes committed under the age of 21 are dragged up in the Criminal Records Check even when you are in your 60's and have to be explained away on a regular basis if you want your job even with no military connection.

I assume you have never had a 16yo girlfriend. Seriously, they are Very Bad News (tm). Even if you are 16. Probably even more so!

You might also want to stop sending them invitations for a health check every year. I expect that feature not to work in the NoSQL version.

such as most banking transactions.

Which part of your banking data do you not want to be consistent?

Which transations do you not want atomic?

Personally, I like the idea of my banking data being durable, and I sure dont wat to bank with anyone who sees it otherwise (might feel different if the buggers would give me an overdraft, but I cant see the shareholders or tax man agreeing to it).

and not isolating the transactions? How will that not end in tears

I can understand that maybe you had too much LSD, but we stopped using pounds, shillings and pence years ago, and the other kind messes with your brain...P. oh, wait ...

Yes, but if the UK Government is involved, it can be simplified by the assumption that the real part is guaranteed to be Zero!

But have you ever tried using pop-tarts for fracking?

There is more to it than that: This is an area which was mainly populated by Jewish Immigrants at the time. If he wasn't one, he would have been more conspicuous as an insider - so it IS relevant.

You are highly optiimistic. There is a fair chance the 40% that survive in West Africa have had a lifetime of low level exposure to similar things. That is not probable in America (or Europe).

Even while the top five hospitals in the country each have a single case to deal with, the survival rate may be good - it wont be the situation when there are more cases than hospitals.

Either a heap of people follow Obama's lead or "we gonna be toast!"

Perhaps you live in the real world, and not some MS simulation.
