So you are going to tell me that without zeroconf devices such as network cannot be discovered by LAN clients? -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

What, install stuff with no user input at all? there is user input, that being plugging in the printer, which is a clear indication that the user wants to *use* it. I don't want *my* OS to tell *me* which things to install. then you should disconnect from the internet, because not only is your operating system auto-updating, but so are most apps. It should show up on the network, but I may not want to install it. a printer without a driver is useless. In the corporate environment that would be very undesirable. not only desirable, but that's exactly what corporate *wants*, with the download sourced from a local server. And as Mad Roger in another thread found out it is even easier in Linux. nothing is easier on linux. linux users thrive on doing things as complex as possible. Obviously spoken by someone who knows nothing about Linux. you just proved it above. your way requires far more steps than is necessary. computers are there to do work *for* you, not the other way around. |

Anyhow not one word you've said changes my original statement, which is that Google isn't the company you want to trust with intimate details about yourself because they are quite literally in the *business* of collecting and selling that information about their users. Of course it doesn't, and I never claimed it did. If you saw my comments as somehow defending Google (etc), or disagreeing with your claim(s), I must've pushes some really sensitive buttons. Or else you have terrible reading skills. Or maybe you just don't have any substantive response to why you'd imply that Americans are somehow more complicit in privacy violations by corporations than any *other* mainstream country. For instance the United "Kingdom" seems to practically embrace the authoritarian spy-on-everyone state much more than the typical American. Back to the topic you seem to desperately want to avoid: choosing to use Google's Photo service over other services whose business models are *not* gathering and selling your private information is choosing to give away your privacy to the highest bidder for free. In all you've changed nothing anyone previously said about Google. All that for nothing... Pity. I would say I'm sorry about that, but you know how it is, one insult deserves another.
