And how would you define yourself, otherwise? As a final wake, a beach wake, a speedboat wake, a gunshot wake...??? Enquiring minds want to know.
Welcome to the Undead Thread, a continuation of the First Inaugural Undead Thread of 2004, which went 65,654 posts, or somewhere in there...
We call it Undead because we move it every month or two when we can find a willing (or not so) substitute that the Mods haven’t toasted.
Those of us with ping lists will be glad to include you if you wish, but you are warned it is very low ping, and we discuss such things as our position in the Asteroid Belt, or how much farther into space we will take our collective Habitats. Otherwise, it has no real topics, and since religion and politics have their own threads, we will discuss the subjects but not get rabid about them.
If you still want in, holler... or just make a request!
‘Face
No, not wake, wahk-ay. It’s Polynesian. It’s tough to translate because there’s no direct English equivalent but the closest approximations are a mussel shell or a bit of turtle droppings.
The context is unclear.
If THEY show up, I'll send them over to HP and have them 'inquire' in their own gentile way why my "extended life" laserprinter toner cartridge that was projected to last for 6500 pages ran out after 3978. In the middle of a 150 copy (at 6 pages per copy) newsletter project that I undertook for a friend.
I of course checked how many pages I had printed on this cartridge when I started and it was way below what I felt was a danger Will Robinson point and therefore safe to continue. Trusty laserdevice churned away doing its printing and collating thing and all was well until I looked at the last ten or so sets which had blank streaks in them..
I managed to coax the final 60 pages out of it by the old trick of remove-rotate-twist-reinsert-dying-tonercontainer.. I put a standard 2500 page cartridge in the machine to hold me over until I can latch onto another 'extended' cartridge. Most of what I'm finding on EBay are "compatible" cartridges instead of 'real' HP, and of course Staples will find me one at some exorbitant price or sell me THEIR "compatible" cartridge at a slightly less exorbitant price..
Maybe I can talk my friend into getting me a toner cartridge if she wants me to continue printing her newsletter.. :-)

Although the best UTs are unwilling victims.
Muahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Probably equivalent to or right down there with Kemosabe...
I gave up on HP devices (having left Compaq just before they were HP-ized) when I got one of the first convertable notebook tablet thingies and the video circut failed after 18 months.
The warranty was 12 months, dontchaknow.
I still had friends in the new conglomeration so I called and they said, ‘Yup, yer screwed.’ (The former Compaq was in Tomball, Texas for those not in the know.) ‘All ya’ll can do is order a new motherboard and it’ll have the same bad chip in it.’
So I recycled the sucker and bought a Toshiba.
My only recommendation on attempting to get an extended life out of your extended life toner is to threaten to put it in a cement printer and send it to print for the fishies.
Sometimes that makes ‘em nervous enough to give a few more pages.
We currently have two possibilities

We do have permission from Slings to invade his thread.
But we also have the still living retread to dance on as well.
(including Pappy Smear in this ping as anyone wandering by may be interested in how we choose our threads.)
Hey, I never thought of that.
I bet some of Darks’ coffee would get some more pages out of your cartrige.
If you have a fairly good printer (NOT the $75 job I have) you can probably set the preference for “draft” and get at least twice what the printer suggests. Until I got a “cheap” printer, I never used full strength ink for anything, including greeting cards, which I don’t even make any more. My bad.
The quality of the print job from “normal” to “draft” is not discernable. It just saves ink and you don’t have to wait forever for the ink to dry.
If you set your dry cycle to “extra fuser heat” you don’t have to wait so long for the ink to dry.
I also use the second rinse to get the unwanted pixels out.
Or am I confusing my printer with my laundry room?
“Where does this one stand in longest threads in FR history? “
About 6 years ago, we ran out of zeroes.
“At $20 per 453.6 grams, that stuff had better vacuum the carpet, pump petrol into the car, wash the windshield, shovel the drive, and fetch the mail...”
Almost......No mail.
” ..annihilate enemeies, pant, sing, AND dance.”
That could take all week. How about....oh.... 12 ?
Sionnsar often had an ugly but necessary job of making the selection when no one could agree. He passed the mantle on to you. Wear it with pride and make a choice!
I’m thinking of stomping ruin upon The Freemason for his retread efforts.
Good idea! What we need is Sionnsar’s industrial strength dirt hauler to squish the dude under the tires and then haul the carcass away in the mega-sized bed of said vehicle.
I already got those last 60 pages out of it by doing that... ;-)
And you wouldn’t be talking about that bunch of laptops with the nVidia chip with the ‘revised lower melting point’ solder balls on its BGA combined with the woefully inadequate cooling solution from the manufacturer would you? (Was that a HP design or something from Compaq? I have a ‘HP’-on-the-case business laptop whose BIOS says it’s a Compaq of about the same vintage but it has ATI video not nVidia.)
(I have one of those laptops, and other than THAT ‘minor’ issue it’s a fine laptop. Of course, I have had to resurrect it from the dead and improve the cooling solution myself. If I was computer illiterate and was forced to pay someone to do that it would have been a doorstop for a rat hovel in a landfill long ago.. And if it dies again and I don’t feel like messing with it again, I’ll sell its bodyparts on EBay... Do I need to wear Jason’s mask while I part it out? ;-)
