I've got a HL-4070CDW I got around the same time and I wholeheartedly second this endorsement. Brother just makes solid, no-bullshit printers. I stuck it on my network and haven't had to mess with it since. The toner cartridges are about $50 each, and each color is independently replaceable, as is the drum unit. I think I've replaced them two or maybe three times. The drivers (assuming the OS doesn't have one already—it speaks PostScript and PCL) are 3MB, and there's versions that go all the way back to Windows 2000 and Mac OS 10.2, plus 64-bit drivers for Windows XP and later. There's apparently even one for Android.

Its only Achilles heel is that the paper doesn't feed straight through, so it mangles the crap out of envelopes. I would assume they fixed that in later models, but if I were in the market for a printer today it's something I'd look out for.

I'd vote for him just to see what the talking heads would do when he delivers the State of the Union address and then the Vice President shows up to deliver the same address again two hours later.

...confirming that nearly half of the previous staff had been offered positions at the new company.

I guess that sounds better than "we fired more than half of our employees".

Which in turn sounds better than "we fucked over all of our employees."

I have one. It isn't as good as it sounds. It's just a regular armchair with a caption glued to it.

It'd be less depressing if there were ever any messages there. :(

I'm sure that the person making these claims thinks they are all that and a bag of chips, but let him design a real program and see how smart he is. Give him a project that would take a real programmer a week. By the end of the week, you would start hearing the asshole complain about how the systems are all broken, probably even providing faked statistics to show everyone how the compilers are at fault.

Forget about his programming chops—nobody with any sense would expect someone with no experience to be able to write anything non-trivial their first week. The more damning thing is that the guy's actual job is motivating people, and he's so inept at it that he thinks making them feel disposable and unessential will make them work faster. What a choad.

I guess the definition of "wrong" depends on what answer the person who commissioned the poll was looking for.

Maybe, but at least we'd have enough bandwidth to televise it.

"Yes." -Runic

It's 2012. Broadband has been commonly available for fifteen years and the best we can manage is only 15% of us have service faster than 10MB?

I wish the people who were creating all the make-work projects for the economic stimulus a few years back had been a little more forward-thinking and put people to work running fiber to as many homes as we could as a public utility. Lease bandwidth on it to anyone who wants to provide service, and use the proceeds to maintain and build out the network. If we did that, maybe come 2025 we won't be reading an an article about how awesome it is that all of 15% of us have service faster than 15MB.

That's good for you and me, but normal people have enough trouble choosing a strong password without their bank actively encouraging them to use their damn dog's name.

They were already pointless. A backdoor password into my account that is REQUIRED to be something people can just Google about me? Genius.

I trust NoScript and Adblock, I sure as shit do not trust "we won't track you, we promise!"

You trust NoScript? I don't. Not since that incident a few years ago when the author deliberately crippled AdBlock for the express purpose of showing you content from the very ad networks you're worrying about here.

The movie was plenty depressing, just in that "O God Ashton Kutcher is trying to act" kind of way.

You have to pay a little more for one that can write fancy words like "paraphrase."
