Comment Re:Disclaimer Isn't Shown (Score 4, Interesting) 86

Whether disclaimers are valid or not depends on jurisdiction and the type of harm they are disclaiming responsibility for. In some cases, e.g. UK defamation law, a disclaimer can actually add to liability because they are an admission that the defendant knew what they were saying could be false but went ahead and said it anyway.

Count your blessings; you've got a great printer, that won't be trying to rip you off with over-priced OEM toner / ink, monthly subscriptions, built in obsolescence. Trust me, you do not want a new one.

Current plan is for you to estimate your mileage at the start of a year, make a payment on account, and then get the odometer read by a DOT inspector at the end of the year. You then settle the difference. Costs of reading to be borne by the Govt and will normally take place as part of the annual inspection. If it's anything like the rest of the tax system if you overestimate the mileage they'll pay you 2% interest on the overpayment but if you underestimate it you'll pay them 8%.

Follow the recipes on the web, get UTM and Mac OS 9.2.1 as a VM and you're back in 2001.

Open and edit PICT files in Simple Text, Claris Draw, Claris CAD, Microsoft Word 6, etc. Edit them with the contemporary tools and/or export them by printing to PDF.

It's a real trip down memory lane and, on an Apple Silicon, MacOS 9.2.1 runs faster than it did on the original G3 hardware and looks great on a retina display.
