Thank you. I have thrown printers out the literal window.




Ah, so you're Russian then. If you were American you'd have shot them.

Archaeological evidence strongly suggests earlier Americans preferred hands, feet, and occasional repurposed sporting equipment.

I was wondering whether I should post a link to that, but figured the shooting fitted better. There's actually a place (or used to be) somewhere near Silicon Valley where you can take your least favourite piece of IT gear and blast it with rented firearms, pretty sure it was in operation at the time Office Space was made.

The entire state of Nevada?

I have literally thrown one of those "winmodems" [1] out of the window back in the days. I then went out and drove with my car on it. I then put it in a bench vise until its PCB shattered to pieces. Utter destruction, much to the amusement of my brothers.

These were the days.

And big thanks to GP for his work of CUPS / Linux printing.
