well, I specifically mentioned the possibility to buy used ones. And while you can certainly buy 10-20 y.o. machines I guess in most cases you are probably better off with a nwe 200$ "business-class" inkjet, which sips power, inc

Raspberry Pi + Needle-Printer of vintage provenance? (might consume too much power and the parallel port might bug sometimes though) And it's not gases, but dust, but yeah (and inkjet's probably also have their problems with ink-f

Actually the infamous HP printers (Officejet 86x and up) had/have pretty good per page costs (color <10€cts/page, b/w <5€cts) even with the "expensive" original cartridges AND they work superbly with GNU/

Imagine Tinder on university mainframes of the 80s. Imagine everyone could just go there and use the computer, taking control of its very limited resources and do whatever they want. I guess hacker culture would have had a hard time in such

Oh yeah, Scribd was this company, SEOing publicly available talks and then putting a paywall in front, while also consistently top-ranking in google-searches for ehm copies of copyrighted work. The EU-copyright directive might be not that

But contrary to 3G, saturation of actual, human related client devices should be reached today. I agree that some mangling of frequency bands might be nice to accomodate for high-device densities (metro tunnels during rushhour are bad aroun

What's so bad about black-on-white text, sans-serif headers, serif texts and monotype blockquotes? Just because this theme set's specific colors and fonts/sizes, I'm not quite sure, how this automatically makes it any m

You should look at European laws (as should all the European citizens rightfully protesting stupid politicians)... For private blogs, the current process still will apply. I'm not even sure, if it does today include the provider privil

So you are basically saying that Google stands above the law? Well, I think the copyright reform should be your smallest problem.

yet nothing in the reform prevents laws which base the fines on missed revenue.

If it's your own blog, you are basically responsible for your own stuff. If you document where you got your assets from, I think every court will give you a pass, if someone wants to get you with the laws resulting from this directive

And there were still British MEPs speaking for it, because it's the "future". I wonder why they can't even abstain or just stay away (like about 13% of the parliament did anyway...) after they engaged in Brexit for decis

If you want to judge human efforts, I think you should also factor in the actual human cost (how many manhours are in there), as well as efficiency gains due to the work performed. And I guess that in this metric a large amount of the so ca

Not long ago, one would just download a template for this. But somehow, there's an inherent advantage in having a webapplication for everything which I don't get (maybe aggregating CVs smells like money?).
