A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OK..my laptop's (emachine) USB ports are all screwed. Don't work. Would cost more to fix than to get a new computer.

I bought a printer 4 months ago...it's USB. Epson Stylus NX130

Anyone know a hack that lets me friggin' PRINT? I canna afford a new laptop and it's driving me BUGSHIT now being able to print or copy or scan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good point, Jon. I think I'll wait a day or two.

Jeez, that estimated time remaining thingie is useless. It went from one hour to one minute and is now back up to 10 minutes... 8 minutes... 2 minutes... 6 minutes.

Why do they even bother?

If your USB ports don't work, you'll have to print via the network. Either a share off another computer or a cheap dedicated print server (Like this thing: [link] ). It can be a bit of a pain to configure a print server, but it will work for printing. Probably not for scanning though.

Yeah, when I downloaded Mountain Lion it did that. The download would just freeze for long periods of time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ya'll need to go to the direct download link.

I am not updating to ios6 until the maps issue is dealt with (e.g. google releases a maps app). I can't afford right now in a new city to lose access to the good maps app.

This is me.

Also I want to wait until other people with iPhone 4 (not 4s) report on how well it runs - sometimes being 2 generations behind means you're better off not upgrading.

How would you get that onto your phone? My download finished up a while ago (it's currently "preparing update"), but the link could be useful in the future.
