The fairly new HP laser printer I use is also simple -- just needed to select the appropriate driver in CUPS, and all the features I use are there. Are the user-hostile features specific to the Windows drivers?

Are the signatures available to the end user? I would love to set up a call screener that only accepts verified calls, as most spam uses spoofed numbers. I'm assuming that the major players implement the protocol at least .. I'm

What is property ownership, really? Isn't it the exclusive right to do things with that property, and exclude random others from it? You buy a standard city lot, you have the right to build a house on it and to keep others off your p
