Q: ubuntu 15.04 user experience with printer problems and suggestions for better printers

I have a Canon MG3500 printer which is really incompatible with all the Linux Distro's I've tested it on. I called Canon, and they don't seem to be interested in coming up with driver which could be used with Linux So I think I will need to get a more compatible printer. Nothing fancy or expen...

So whose idea was to make the word "study" a synonym for "office" and at the same time have a verb "study" ? I wanna punch that person ten times extra

edwinksl

Serg

2:24 AM

i don't even know what that is

edwinksl

trust me it is dope

japanese seasoning

that you typically sprinkle on rice

but really, you can sprinkle it on whatever you want

Serg

Mmmm , i could use some of that. I'll add that to my shopping list

edwinksl

don't blame me if you get addicted to it ;)

Zacharee1

@Serg it's at my house

Serg

Hmmm, ok . . . .

TheXed

2:31 AM

@Serg need a job? My assistant sent me a text that he is going to quit...

Zacharee1

@Serg why'd you ask?

Serg

@TheXed I wouldn't mind , but I don't have money to get to Canada. Or a place to stay there. Or money to rent that place.

TheXed

@Serg Canada?

Serg

@Zacharee1 I am just trying to figure out what I can do with my DO server, and i though maybe you have experience setting that up

@TheXed I thought you were in Canada O.o

TheXed

@Serg Nope, Central IL.

Serg

2:37 AM

OK . . . I guess I thought the percentage of Canadians was greater here . . . .

Zacharee1

@Serg is it Ubuntu?

Nathan Osman

@Serg I'm the only one I know about...

Serg

@Zacharee1 it is

Nathan Osman

<--- just hit his kneecap really hard on the desk

Zacharee1

If you want an MC server, I can link you to the server manager I use. Very easy install, but you might want to wait, as v1.0.0 will change a lot

Serg

2:38 AM

Don't hit your desk - it doesn't deserve that kind of abuse

TheXed

@Serg that is okay, for some reason not to long I ago I thought you lived in Canada...

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman I've done that. OUch

TheXed

I had a MC server at one time...

Nathan Osman

@Serg I'm not about to apologize to the desk. Even if I am a Canadian.

Serg

My friend's son is like 10 and is into all sorts of games and stuff. Time to time he keeps asking me to setup a server where he and his friends can play .

Nathan Osman

2:41 AM

So it's almost 8pm and I finally finished dealing with the emails from this morning. ಠ_ಠ.

TheXed

@Serg it is really easy to set up a MC server...

Serg

I know . . . . But it's out on the web. I need to secure it somehow

TheXed

It is maintaining it that becomes tiresome IMHO...

@Serg security is over rated :-P

Does this seem like this sentence makes sense: "In addition, it also possesses the beauty gained from utilization, nature, material and cultural masterpieces."

2:47 AM

TheXed

@Serg what is "it"?

Serg

lacquer

I'm trying to proofread a translation

TheXed

@Serg I rather have liquor...

edwinksl

TheXed

@edwinksl do you have experience in this?

edwinksl

2:50 AM

no comments ;)

TheXed

@edwinksl aww, we all like a good story...especially when it is at someone else's expense...

Serg

I once drank pen ink

by accident

Zacharee1

lol

Serg

My teeth were blue for hours

TheXed

@Serg pen ink is nasty! (and I to have accidentally done it, kind of...I was chewing on the end of a pen and it exploded in my mouth...)

Zacharee1

2:52 AM

ah that explains it

Serg

My story is pretty much similar. I was in like 2nd grade, and I just got this fancy pen and pencil pouch . And for whatever reason there was small plastic container ( like half inch in size ) of ink , closed with a plastic ball

CodeX

how was the taste of ink

TheXed

@CodeX its nasty

Serg

It's a chemical, and most chemicals taste nasty

TheXed

Worst thing I have ever had in my mouth 2nd to dawn dish soap.. (which was an accident too)

CodeX

2:54 AM
