NOTE TO DEVS:
Thanks for deving so much but I can't depend on my Ubuntu machine because I
can't setup the printer. FOR 6 FUCKING MONTHS. I know you try really hard. But
this is a plain failure. It saddens me deeply because I really love Ubuntu.
Just convinced a Debian guy to give Unity a try the other day. But I depend on
windows for a fucking printer. It sucks, it really does. I wish you'd stop
releasing new OSes twice a year and focus on making the ones you do release
work. FUCK YOU CANONICAL FOR NOT MANAGING TO FINISH THE JOB YOU HAVE BEEN
STARTING SO WELL FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
