My new mission in life to let everyone know what a rip-off, greedy corporation HP has become
I have been a faithful fan of HP for decades. I started out on an HP IIIP. It was great. A real workhorse. Through the years I have noticed the quality of HP printers declining, but I stuck with them. I currently have an HP Officejet Pro8600. Now I find out that I can't print anything, even in just black, unless every color cartridges have ink. How greedy can you get? And from what I see, I can't even use recycled cartridges in the printer. You are what is wrong with America. You have become greedy and selfish. As soon as this printer breaks (and with your track record, it won't be long!) I will NEVER BUY any HP product ever again!
As the IT Manager for a corporate, I insisted that HP be the printer standard throughout the organisation. I reviewed the policy icw the technical support guys every 3 to 4 years and despite some bleating, insisted that HP remain the standard. With more important issues to worry about, new printer cartridges were always used and we did not mess around with refills etc. Good business for HP for 15 - 20 years.I thought I had current cartridges stashed in my cupboard and after unsuccessfully attempting to use them gave up. They are all just out of "use before" date. I am very confident the cartridges would work and am willing to take the risk and other possible consequences.Not being able to obtain other cartridges in the middle of the night, my sense of humour has failed.I will go out today and purchase a new printer - anything that does not have the cartridge protection crap that HP has had in place for quite some time now to ensure they have captive consumables consumers.I will use my reputation and authority to attack this issue because I can well imagine that many other users who foot their own printing costs are equally frustrated and this practice must have led to waste in a corporate environment where new consumables are simply stocked and drawn from the front of cupboards by users who do not care about costs or waste.

Let everyone know what you think about you're nforce
lets fill this thread up letting all know whats going down on nforce mobo's nvidia deserves the support and id hate to see someone go buy a via cause they dident know the nforce brand enough
The last V I A chipset PC I bought was for 10p.
This included an 8x cdrom, floppy, LAN card and sound card, so they paid me to take the V I A off them. :D
Since then, before the nForce, I built PCs based on Aladdin's Magik1 Rev. C Not bad, very stable, OK price.
But the nForce gave me far more than those Aladdin boards ever did for my money, and I'll recommend them to anyone thinking of building a PC. note i said a PC, not just AMD based PC :D
What would REALLY be cool, however, is to see an nForce-based dual-CPU board.
Imagine the IRQ possibilities and the sharing of processes to run all those onboard things across 2 CPUs. That machine would ROCK!

Hi Chandra,
there are multiple steps that need to be performed. It would be hard to mention them all in here. In general, we suggest to read the master and installation guide as well as the docu that list all of the steps necessary.
All of the documents can be found here:

My iPhone 4 has been recently stolen :( and I am wondering how can I be able to blocked my iPhone 4 so the one steal it cannot use my phone pls let me know what to do thanks.
Apple does not get involved with lost or stolen items. A carrier may offer IMEI blocking (non in the USA currently do, but elsewhere some do). Your carrier would already know your IMEI number anyway, so just contact them and ask them about it.
It is VERY good that you had a passcode lock on the device. That means your personal information will be safe. And yes, after 10 failed attempts (each with increasing time out between allowing another attempt) the device will permanently lock them out until they restore the device in iTunes. Anyone can go ahead and restore your iPhone as new in iTunes, but that also wipes everything off it and restores it to new condition - which does mean they can go off and use it as theirs, but at least all your data is gone.
Did you file a police report it was stolen? Also your carrier should be told (and ask them about IMEI blocking). Sorry it is gone, but you did the best thing possible to protect yourself and your information when you set up that passcode lock. -
well after updation to ios6.0.1 My wifi button has turned to grey mode ,i cant turn it on at all and when i tried to restore it my battery life turned in short life period .,,,i dnt know what the heck is this..pls help
The reapair shop is probably responsible. And now that you took it to a third party and not to apple store, Apple will not touch your phone at all. So you will probaly have to buy a new one or go back to the reapir shop and hope they can fix it.

Please let me know what steps need to take to convert JApplet to JFrame
I have an application which needs to convert from JApplet to JFrame....Please let me know what are the steps need to take for this
I have an application which needs to convert from
JApplet to JFrame....The topic of this forum is web-start, and it
can be used to launch both applets and
applications. An applet deployed using
web-start avoids a lot of the browser related
problems that affect 'embedded' applets.
This leads me to..
Please let me know what are the steps need to take for this You do not need to convert it, to launch it
using web-start, but if you are determined to
make it into a frame, it would be best to ask
how to do that on a forum where the subject
being talked about, is closer to what you are
doing.

I had problems when I updated to iOS 5 (lost all my apps - a few of my friends had the same problem) and when there was an update to iOS 4 (camera wouldn't work). The iOS 5 issue was sorted by backup (but I lost the app data) but for the iOS 4 issue I had to return my iPod to get a new one. -

Hello every one. Please let me know what is the best mouse to use in a Photoshop? Thank you very much. Alex.
My ArtZ II is on a Win2K supplemental computer. I think that the main reason that I keep it around is the 12 x 12 ArtZ II.
Next workstation will probably force that comupter into a closet and my beloved ArtZ II will probably go with it...
Even on my laptop out on the patio, if I have to do almost anything in PS, or Painter, I'll go grab my Intuos 2 and hook it up, even though it's a 9 x 12 and a bit big for the patio table (works fine on my various desktop situations though). I cannot be without my tablets, though I am not a fan of the Wacom mice that I have tried (2 still in the box). Best mouse is my Logitec cordless (hated its keyboard and got rid of it in a second), which has nice weight, the right feel for my hand and is just great. Still, I only use it for the duties that the Wacom is not the best at. If I open up PS, or Painter, the mouse sits idle.
Good luck to the OP,
