On the other hand, if this goes through, any law would almost certainly also make women wearing makeup, having botox, plastic surgery, breast enlargement, etc. would all be sex by fraud as well. And unlike lying in real time, things like makeup or even moreso surgery, have preponderated intent.
Seems like maybe they should have noticed, but does not seem like the breach or issue was really all that big.
Lots of fake reviews, probably not the biggest deal.
Why? Why would they do that! Oh the humanity!
The fact that printers are sold at a loss and the expectation being that they will vastly overcharge on ink to make their money pretty much guarantees that this situation will exist in this way. The OEMs have to take an up front loss hoping that people will overspent like crazy on ink. The third party ink makers don't need to do that. They sell their ink without the upfront loss on the printers. And it is common for people to never refill their ink which makes the losses even heavier for the OEMs.
There is just a lot of opportunity for the third party ink makers to make a good product cheaper than the printer makers can.
I think that the thought was that if Itanium is just at the end of life and HP is already rolling out normal Xeon chips to replace them, then where is HP-UX going to go? Is it going to get phased out with the Itanium? That would be a bit loss of a software investment from HP. Or is it going to get ported to the Xeons so that it can keep being used? It opens a lot of things up for HP to choose to do.
Sorry to hear that @joy. Good luck on your search!
@creayt David, welcome to MangoLassi!
I would guess that HP-UX will be retired. The cost of porting it will be high and so much of its value was tied to PA-RISC and then to Itanium. HP-UX on Xeon will lack much of what made HP-UX important.

Couldn't you technically follow @scottalanmiller's tutorial on scottalanmiller.com for installing Elastix on CentOS and then just use the OpenFire portion? Just one thought...
I would not do that. Its an old version of OpenFire and your system is full of packages that you don't need and an old version of CentOS. Way better to install a vanilla system and just run the OpenFire RPM. No extra stuff laying around, potentially causing problems.
I recommend considering carefully if you are buying only cause you feel that it is the right time for you, or if you've determined that it is the right time to buy in general. Buying is not always the best course of action and you have to consider the overall state of the market and not just your own finances when looking to do so.
@travisdh1 I agree, not very impressed that Mint included this but did not test it or respond to people with issues. Better to not have it in there.

But do you still support the purchasing of OEM only ink for normal home users considering the current paradigm?
For basic documents, etc, it's fine. But never use 3rd party in a photo printer being used for photos, or anything high quality...
Why do they use cheaper ink?
The ink isn't typically up to snuff, but it also has to do with the cartridge itself. Most 3rd party cartridges are remans. They buy used up <insert brand here> cartridges and rework the chip on them and refill them with their own ink. Some ink is pretty close, other ink is not even in the parking lot of the rival's ballpark...it depends and it's completely luck of the draw figuring out which is good and which is bad...
The cartridges you buy for inkjets have a life built-in...after they use up the ink in them, the cartridge itself is generally pretty well shot too, not just out of ink. That's how they're designed. 3rd party basically takes something used up and broken and tries to make it work again. This is why 3rd party cartridges, as a rule, have so many issues and are so unreliable. OEM works because they are always new and always use what is best for that given make and model of machine.
The only exception to using 3rd party vs OEM is when you do things like print with edible ink, for cakes, etc. OEM doesn't make that, so 3rd party is the only way to go. That being said, most people know what they're getting into with that and are prepared for it...
The reasons why third party are bad aren't actually relevant and I think dwelling on them is what misleads you. At the end of the day it is the cost calculation and nothing else that matters. And that calculation appears to show that third party ink is the huge winner, no real room for error as it appears to win by a landslide financially. At least with the printers and ink in the examples. Looking into why third party ink fails is getting into details that are already included in the cost calculation so while it is a point of interest, it doesn't change the actual decision which showed that third party ink was cheaper - even when it fails more than usual.
SSL for the win. I switched and it's working.

Ok boys and girls. I reach another snag in breaking my Red Hat virginity. How can I get from a regular GUI interface to a Gnome interface? Can anyone help me please?
Not sure what you mean, Gnome is the default interface on RHEL. What interface have you set up currently?
I'm on a bit of a Skype day, here. Skype for Pidgin has long been problematic, requiring the old, abandoned Skype client to run in the background and Pidgin would just replay it which did not work so well and mostly defeated the purpose of a single messaging application. But with new advances in the SkypeWeb client and protocol, there is now a SkypeWeb plugin for Pidgin that will allow Pidgin to talk over Skype for text messages (no audio or video at this time.) No need to run Skype in the background or even have it installed.
