    Kids taller than parents

    I'm guessing that the kids also have a bigger shoe size than their parents?

    Altec Lansing MX6021 or Logitech Z623?

    Aren't the above couple sets of speakers not good for my needs? If not, what other models should I look for?

    Altec Lansing MX6021 or Logitech Z623?

    I'm looking for a new set of speakers--either, 2.0 or 2.1. The sound card is whatever comes integrated with the mobo and all I listen to is mp3 songs, Youtube, divx files, movies, Internet radios, and the like. The speakers will be positioned over a table on the sides of my 16:9 computer...

    Help me get a printer. Need advice.

    Just curious, does the driver for this HP printer have any significant bugs?

    Inkjet printer that lasts long without printing

    Update: I already bought the above printer, Epson Stylus NX625 All-in-One Printer, and I'm rather happy with it. The driver was really easy to install on a Win7 32-bit machine and said driver consumes much less system resources on stanby than the previous driver for an HP printer did. Also...

    Inkjet printer that lasts long without printing

    Thank you for your advice! I've found this printer: Epson Stylus NX625 All-in-One Printer Which has XL ink cartridges, the black one is rated at 945 pages while the color ones are rated at 755 pages. That should make for cheap prints even using genuine Epson ink cartridges. All the online...

    Inkjet printer that lasts long without printing

    I do not need photo printing, but as long as I can print images in color and bits of text in color I will be alright (budgets, sketches, diagrams, etc.). Let's say I need a color printer 40% of the time, while the other 60% is B&W only. Eventually, I've been browsing the user manuals for...

    Inkjet printer that lasts long without printing

    Now that's interesting! I was considering those inkjet Brothers with their high-capacity ink tanks as well. Particularily, I was looking at this two models: Brother DCP-J725DW: A4-size, with 600 A4-page ink tanks, and WiFi. Brother MFC-5890CN: prints up to A3 size, scans up to A4 size, 900...

    Inkjet printer that lasts long without printing

    Thank you for your advice! :) One more thought, should I perhaps invest on a color, laser, multi-function printer? I do not know how much they cost nor what the cost of the replacements are when it comes to color laser printers.

    Inkjet printer that lasts long without printing

    I want to replace my old all-in-one color inkjet HP printer--which happens to have a bug in its driver (where some lines of text are printed bolder than others)-- with the following setup: A b&w, multi-function, laser printer to choose from this two Brother printers: DCP-7060D or DCP-7065DN (I...

    Beginner options?

    I found this Introduction to Computer Science course very interesting: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-fall-2008/ It's done with Python plus a bit of matplotlib. I've enjoyed every bit of this course...

    Python GUI experts

    Hoping not to hijack this thread: I've never done an GUI, but I'd like to be able to set up some simple interfaces as the front end for some utility tools of my own, how do PyQt and Tk compare? I guess I'm going to need something easy to learn with plenty of documentation and examples. Once...

    Hopefully not the typical "I want to program" thread...

    Thank you for your advice, but I preffer to learn something else given the amount of time that has elapsed since the last time I coded in Basic. Python looks very interesting so I'll be delving into that for a while. I'm sure Python has to have some shortcomings or downsides compared to other...

    Hopefully not the typical "I want to program" thread...

    Thank you, Sir! For now, I'll be doing this introductory course so I can remember what I used to do back in the day: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-fall-2008/index.htm This course uses the 2.x series...

    I'll be going with the 3.x series then, thank you! :)
