I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Am I correct in my assessment that it's not particularly possible to have my printer on the network without having it attached to my compter at the time?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You can do it if the printer has an ethernet port, or if you have an independent print server that you can attach it to.

Yeah, not so much. Just the USB and parallel ports. And I've just got the router.

For Epson printers there's a box you can buy with ethernet on one end and parallel on the other. Works great.

Ah. Cool. Thanks.

Costs more than its worth for me, though. But, good to know

Only British iPods, if it's anything like the rest of the Beeb's plan to offer their content digitally. (The idea being that the TV license should grant a wider range of usage rights than is currently available through the television.)

Verizon Unlimited Broadband Access: $59.99/month.

Anyone used it? Know of its goodness?
