http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOuALNuWkc0
\_ Sadly this was a lot more exciting than any of the large girl pics
posted previously.
\_ The MOTD boob guy really needs to be renamed the MOTD chubby chaser
freak.
\_ Wow! The two would drive me wild if they give me oral. |

10/10 Believe it or not... I just came down with a flu. I realize it's a
bit [early] in the season but it's actually happening around me.
Wash your hands and be careful!
\_ Me 2. spent the last week out of it. no fun.
\_ I've had the flu since Sat., I guess that it is better to get
it over w/ early.
\_ I had one a month ago.
\_ I was gonna get a flu shot again this year. But then I remembered
I had one last year and got a flu anyway. So screw that. They
are offered at work though. How many of you get those?
\_ I got the flu shot last year, and I got waylaid by a non-flu
cold anyway. Ah, well, at least it wasn't the flu.
\_ EFI used to provide shots for free to employees, and for $10 to
family members.
\_ I don't believe you. Please provide evidence to back up your wild
claims. |

10/10 Sanction on North Korea is cruel, simply cruel. Imagine there is a
sanction of Gucci, Prada, and Fendi goods in America, there would
be a complete meltdown in Southern Cal.

10/10 Yesterday, I sent 4 messages to a particular person and apparently
only 2 of them were received. The 2 not received were sent around
6am and 7pm. Of course, I've already asked my friend to check the
spam folder and she claims that it's not there either. Are there
any current issues with outgoing mail lately?
\_ hint: don't use soda for email.
\_ turns out she found one of the messages in her bulk folder and
thinks she may have deleted the other one. So, maybe it's not
soda's fault. But have their been any issues with outgoing mail
recently? -op |

10/10 Any reccomendations for a cheap monochrome laser printer? Network
not needed. A decent-size starter toner cartridge would be nice.
\_ I got a used HP 2200D off craigslist for $250 or so. It's
great, it does postscript and prints on both sides of the
paper, which is nice. Speed is not too bad. -phr
\_ I recently bought a Samsung 3051n from Newegg for $200 ($250
- $50 mir). It comes w/ a 4000 pg cartridge (which can last up
to 6000 pgs if you use the toner saver mode). The printer has
has ethernet, parallel and USB 2.0. It also features PS3 and
PCL emulation. It is also very fast and quiet when sleeping.
\_ I bought a cheap samsung laser printer about 4 years ago.
The paper feeding mechanism died after about a year. It
sure was cheap though.
\_ While I accept that at the $200 price point this printer
will not be nearly as reliable as a HP 8000 series (or
similar), OP asked for a "cheap monochrome laser printer."
I think that the 3051n easily satisfies his criteria.
Personally, I think the printer will last at least 3
years b/c 3 years is the warranty period.
\_ The newegg page says less then 39 dBA at idle. 39dBa is fairly
loud, IMHO. I remember my dad's old HP 4L was truly silent at
idle.
\_ That's probably not sleeping but idle. If you don't
use it for a minute or so it goes into sleep mode where
it has to warm up for a few seconds if you want to print.
Sleep mode is truely silent.
\_ That is correct. It is somewhat loud in idle (warmed
up but not printing). But, it is completely silent
when it goes to sleep. It takes a few seconds to wake
from sleep and start printing.
\_ OK, I know what PostScript is, but why should I care if a printer
is a PS printer? Doesn't just about everything support PCL anyway?
-OP
\_ Some PDFs won't print properly on a PCL only printer. I'm not
sure why. If you mostly print from Word rather than Acrobat,
I wouldn't worry about it too much. |

10/10 What's a good iCal supporting contact manager in unix?
\_ The Sunbird project's working on it, but isn't there yet. Amusingly,
there's an old program called ical for unix that... doesn't support
iCal.
\_ Google Calendar kicks ass. I love how you can share and overlay
your schedule with someone else. It's a bit slow now but it's
still beta-ish and like all Google products it'll just get
better and better.
\_ The Sunbird project's working on it, but isn't there yet.
Amusingly, there's an old program called ical for unix that...

\_ The problem with calendar standards today is there aren't any.
Or ok, more specifically, they are incomplete and unspecified in
ways that matter. The reason for this is all the calendar
companies have made their own decisions re: how to handle various
things such as "every other week". Some take it literally and just
do $week+2 while others take it to mean "$week2 and $week4 of
$currentmonth". That's just 1 small example. So when you have a
device or program that supports 1 version of the standard and then
try to sync with a system that has a different idea your calendar
will get all messed up, usually in unfixable ways. --calendar guy
\_ hey, what do you mean you are a "calendar guy?" are you working
on calendar? any recommendation for PERSONAL calendar server
I can run on my laptop?
\_ it's one of the services i currently support at work. i've
attended the ical standards committe talks, on the mailing
list, blah, blah, blah. sorry but i use the same calendar
i support for work for 10k+ people. i don't know much of
anything about the smaller programs.
\_ I like Meeting Maker. What product do you support? |

10/10 Quick, go check out http://news.yahoo.com What is up with their cover photo, with the asians in their underwear? (it's 10:45am PST now) \_ 10:47 - It's gone. \_ I see a picture of the Chinese Ambassador to the UN. No underwear. \_ Damn it's gone already. It showed about 8 asians standing outside all in their tighty-whitey underwears. I might be missing something but it definitely seemed like it had nothing to do with the story! -op \_ Maybe it was for the Chinese Moon Festival. \_ When is the chinese melon festival? \_ Never. See your typical, concave-chested Chinese girl. \_ http://www.sexyimportbabes.com/jade.html (natural) \_ implausible. |

10/10 Is there a One True XML Capitalization Style?

\_ XHTML is all-lowercase. I'd probably recommend that for other
XML DTDs. -tom |

10/10 Happy Birthday, Chinese Republic!
\_ The Chinese "Republic." Now, that's irony. Next, they'll be
calling it the "Free Society of Iran" and "Jewish State of Saudi
Arabia."
\_ Imperialist pigs must stop spreading lies about the people's
glorious socialist revolution.
-Democratic People's Republic of Korea
\_ 10/10 is the national day of the Republic of China (capitalist
Taiwan), not the People's Republic of China (communist Mainland
China.)
\_ 10/10 is the celebration of overthrown of Manchu Dynasty of
China. While PRC do not recognize it as a "national day,"
PRC does recognize its importance and speech to address the
anniversery is typically held. |

10/10 China to NK: "Bad Boy."
http://www.coxandforkum.com/archives/000954.html
\_ Informed world to CoxAndForkum: Welcome to the Real World. Please
leave ill-conceived paranoid right-wing conspiracy theories at the
door.
\_ It's a political cartoon, not a conspiracy theory.
\_ ...implying that the PRK is a puppet of the PRC, hence the
conspiracy theory.
\_ NK is barely standing thanks to the help China gives it.
Hence the puppet. And the odd public disapproval of NK.
\_ While it's true that NK gets most of its supplies via
China, puppetry is an inaccurate portrayal. A better
portrayal might have indicated the PRC's portkeeper
position without implying outright puppetry.
\_ um, have you ever heard of "artistic license"?
\_ puppet government, by definition, is a government that
can not conduct its own foreign policy. By such
definition, N.Korea is *NOT* a puppet government of
China at all. Then again, under such definition,
*JAPAN* is a puppet government of United States, as
it can't conduct any foreign policy without US'
approval, couldn't prosecute military personnel
for raping 14 years old girls.
\_ Has NK returned the humanitarian trains to China yet? |
