[Tfug] Shameless Software Trafficking (Wildly OT)

[Marco Savo]

The same holds true of things like toner cartridges that "can't"
be counterfeited -- you put generic toner in expensive printer
and printer gets fouled... you complain to printer vendor that
printer isn't working right.  Now printer vendor has to somehow
*prove* that you have done something "not covered under warranty"
(cuz you probably won't willingly admit your use of generic toner).
And, even when they confront you (*if* they do) with this, you
still end up pissed because you feel you *should* have been able
to use generic toner in the printer.  Heck, you should have been
able to use ashes from your barbeque to refill the toner cartridge,
why didn't *that* work???

Whatis this expensive printer? can it fly? can it make coffee?
I usually saw printers that are cheaper than the toner or ink, they charge
incredibly on it, generic ink helped carry the price down now

Do you know that 80% of crops (except grain) in the US are GM? They are
genetically modified for resist an herbicide. The  herbicide is made from
Monsanto. The seeds are patented, copyrighted from Monsanto. What's
happening is that farmers, that use their own crops, have their field
pollinated or accidentally inseminated with their neighbor crops. Then
arrive Monsanto. And sue them for copyright infringement.  They go to court.
Monsanto win because, how I read earlier in this post, it's a fraud use
copyrighted material.
Monsanto = Microsoft
