No, at least for the last Officejet I used. The cartridges are just ink tanks, the print heads are separate. I think that's fairly widespread now; e.g., it's also true on my Canon Pixma.

Where did you come up with layer 1 v. layer two mattering at all? If you look at the FCC consent decree[1], e.g., §II "Background", ℙ2—"No person shall willfully or maliciously interfere with or cause interference…". Th

"Traffic safety is equally important for poor people and for people with money. But traffic fines, as they are typically imposed, inflict far more pain on poor people." The first part of that is quite an assertion. Richer people

The article isn't presuming mass stays constant, but rather that density does. (That's a much more realistic assumption—a world made out of similar stuff will have similar density, for reasonable amounts of gravity)

There are. For sound recordings, there is the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC). For the musical work (of which there may be many recordings) there is an International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC). For an entire album, at l

Indeed. It's hard to avoid noticing that in the "10 worst" table, 8 of them came after the '78 season. I wonder what the L-score histogram looks like with data only through '78; did the '78 event also look lik

Depends. Can an attacker introduce files? If so, he can probably introduce collisions. In most uses of a hash, that's an issue—a performance (DoS) issue if nothing else. If the application was just looking for a longer CRC/Adler32

That's not the only incentive, unfortunately. The folks fixing tickets would like there to be more invalid tickets issued; that's how they make money. Worry about winding up with something line how Intuit (TurboTax) lobbies agains

It's not there any more. See Bug 900564[1]. Basically, they removed the pref from beta and release builds last fall because they don't believe it works nearly well enough. [1]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug

Indeed, it's difficult to exactly price externalities. There are published estimates of the carbon externality. You do you best; it's far better than the "estimate" we currently use ($0). When comparing, you add in the e

No it's not. The dropbox installer and Nautilus hooks are released under the GPL. But it actually downloads a proprietary binary which does most everything.

It's not doublespeak, it's actually a fairly widely accepted solution to externalities amongst economists. The basic idea is that some actions you could perform impose costs on people who aren't consenting parties to the tran

Two things: 1) I'm unclear what I'm supposed to enter on the plan details screen's "billing date". My last bill covered 2012-12-10 through 2013-01-09. Do I enter 9 or 10 there? Experimenting, it looks like you want the first day in the next

The only condition is that you have to open a brokerage account along with it (also free). You didn't even have to fund either account. You need to be a permanent resident of the US. http://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking_lending/chec

But guess where the cell tower gets it time from—yep, GPS. Quick research shows CDMA2000 (at least) uses GPS time (probably, they didn't want to deal with leap seconds).

The IT department can't maintain it themselves, because they didn't write the program and don't have the source code. So at least some of the support has to be from the vendor. Some customers will have competent admins, who like to solve pr
