Shouldn't we get Canon to answer that? Surely , LUGS is not answerable for every political/business/personal decisions that govt/companies/people make??
In the first place , he got no choice but to use Linux because he couldn't afford Windows. (should we complain to Toyota club because I can't afford a Toyota and my free bicycle from a friend can't go as fast as I would like?) Second , he never mentioned where he went to and what he did to solve it. (That is sure bring out a lot of complications whichever solutions we choose) Third , he doesn't even mention which distribution or which version he is using?? That will bring about another set of problems. Fourth and most importantly , without significant information , nobody can solve any problem never mind computers or motor cars. Imagine if I tell you that my car broke down in while driving on the highway , can anyone solve what happened? This kind of question is a death trap. We will be blamed whichever way we reply , there is no way out. Even if we get correct answer with our first reply and assuming that he ( not a technically proficient person I presume ) can do it as we mean it , we and Linux will still be blamed for being difficult to use. Also , pls take note that he is using online filing of tax ... if IRS doesn't get his tax on time , I don't need Einstein to tell me who he is going to blame on. regards billy On Mon, 2008-08-18 at 11:24 +0800, Harish Pillay wrote: > *, > > I got the following email from the editor of digital life and the > question is from a > user who has some hardware issues.
