It’s a Brother B&W laser with integrated scanner. About 6 years old, so it should be fully supported. We can’t view toner levels or scan from the printer (press a button on the printer to start a scan and have it automatically accepted by the computer. I have installed the separate driver for this functionality, but it isn’t working).
We haven’t yet tried some features like double-sided printing.
I installed Mint on my wife’s computer last week, and we have had problems getting the printer to print, and then to scan. I’ve installed the manufacturer’s driver a couple of times and it seems to do those functions okay, but some features still don’t work.
I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)
The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.
You are right, but I’m not sure if the intelligence was built into the command to recognize it as a root level deletion.
rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
Looks like it started appearing in various flavors of Unix and Linux around 2005.
If it were on an old installation of linux, it would delete everything on the file system, from every disk attached.
Modern Linux systems require an additional flag to explicitly stay that you want to nuke your system.
I like Jitsi, but when I record a session it always silently aborts after about 40 minutes.
I was a volunteer teacher in Africa from 1988-91.
I would write letter from my village, and it would take one month to get to my family in Canada. They would write a response, and it would take one month to get back to my village. That was just the reality.
Now the village I lived in has a cell phone tower in the middle of it. I haven’t been back, but I am willing to bet that a lot has changed.
I’m in Malaysia right now, which is a majority Muslim country. Restaurants and convenience stores sell beer and other alcohol, but I have seen signs in the convenience stores covering the front of coolers saying that Muslims cannot buy alcohol.
I’m not sure how strictly that is enforced, most of the store clerks and waiters don’t seem to care.
That’s exactly right. The proof is quite simple and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be taught instead of just getting students to accept magic rules.
I went through engineering school, and 20 years of work (not as an engineer), before finding a calculus text that explained why the derivative of x^2 is 2x. Along with many practical applications of calculus.
That book was Calculus Made Simple, published in 1914. Thanks, Project Gutenberg!
Edit: derivative of x^2 is 2x. Got my differentiation and integration confused!
I was seeing a lot of crashes two or three years ago, but none in the past year or so.
I suspect that it was a defense mechanism due to her experience of many older men trying to hit on her. Better not to even open the door.
Have you paid any attention to the political scene in the United States? There is no way that a billionaire could be convicted of any crime. In the rare event that they are charged, they can delay and obfuscate so that they die before any repercussions must be suffered.
I don’t think that the truth of the two-tiered American justice system has ever been so clearly delineated.
I see that the last update was more than 2 years ago. Is it just complete? Or is it being neglected?
Given that large areas of the world do not see breasts as sexual, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that breasts are erogenous because our society has said that they are, rather than any innate characteristic.
When I lived in Africa, women and girls had no problem exposing their breasts, but would go to great length to keep their thighs covered.
Without the manufacturer’s drivers, I couldn’t even print a page of text.
