90% accuracy?! And that is supposed to be useful for something? Seriously, even if someone pilfered the.stl file, the actual 3D model loaded into the 3D printer, all it can tell you is the basic shape. Maybe it can give the an idea of what is being developed.
That being said, there is a "neat factor" in recording the sound & reproducing the object. But as industrial espionage, this is kina weak. Reverse engineering is a pain in the ass (to do it right) & this would not be of any help IMO.
PVC cracks & leaks all the time. However, chances are good that you won't have a problem (as with all indoor plumbing systems, it works 99.9% of the time). Unless your complete plumbing system is a new, you have fittings/valves/faucets made out of C360000 brass. If memory serves, it has 3% lead in it. Sooo... TO LATE! No worries though, really. As I said, they outlawed it with no science, just lobbyists from the owners of the IP around the low-lead alloys. Your plumbing system will not poison your children.
The new fittings/valves/faucets made from these proprietary alloys have a higher rate of failure but again, most people will never have a problem.
Actually Arth1 did remind me of a situation caused by not so much listing agencies but of new regulations. California passed the "no-lead" in plumbing law followed by all of the U.S. In the end CSA also adopted it so it covers all of North America. Free machining brass (C360000) can't be used on wetted surface in potable water systems. This brass has been used for quite some time & I am not sure of the science behind the regulation. I've read both sides of the argument & it's hard to know for sure but there is not a lot of evidence that any significant amount of lead leaches into drinking water from 360 brass used in faucets, fittings, or valves.
The result of this is the plumbing industry has turned to low/no-lead brass alloys that pretty much suck. They are much more expensive to buy & machine & have a lot higher failure rates. This is unlikely to be a safety issue but it will result in more leaks & floods in homes. So there is an example!
NoNon is correct. I also design products that get listed with UL,CSA, & other listing agencies. I've not seen where getting a product certified ever made it "less safe". I suppose it's possible but I can't imagine how.
Getting listed with UL is not all that hard but then I've never sent something to them that wasn't already tested. Bigger problem is timing, meaning getting the fucking marketing pukes to understand it has to be done & takes time & money. Oh & getting the check requests signed off.
Blah, how about we have both? Super fast CPUs with crappy battery life (my desktop has no need!) & a good solid low power alternatives for mobile devices. I have a real need for much faster CPUs!
Yea, you read that correctly. You made me do a little research. As it turns no, it's not a good idea to put the pagefile/swapfile on a RAM disk. Back when I got my first SSD drives, it was suggested to never put your pagefile on the SSD. Participants on the OCZ forum were all suggesting a RAM disk for the page file which in theory sounds great. Thanks for the uhem, kind reply, that led me to better knowledge.
Never had a problem with it but then it likely didn't make much of a difference. No worries, my SSDs are cheap enough I can just replace them if needed. Regardless, computers are still too fooking slow IMO. I am always waiting.
My dream is to some day have my computer waiting on me. Unlike today where I am constantly waiting on my computer... even with the fastest CPU, video card, SSDs in RAID, 16 gigs of RAM, a RAM disk for the swap file... I still find myself waiting.
There would have been no negotiations if not for the current administration. Or they would have fallen apart early on. And like North Korea, nothing would slow down Iran from getting nukes.
It's a real pain in the ass when a data breach allows credit card fraud to occur. Anyone who's had it happen to them know that. So the credit card company doesn't make you pay (oh, they don't eat it, ever, they don't pay the vendor), that's great. But you still have to catch the fraudulent charges (in time), call, make a claim, change your account number, remember all the subscribed accounts that use that number (netflix etc...), wait & see, worry.
But the company that can't keep their shit secure has no liability.
You are remembering a past that did not exist. WM phones' hardware was shit. I mean, you're completely glossing over the period where WM devices didn't even have nonvolatile storage, aside from space for the OS! Palm never went through that. Nor did the other "smart" phones of the day. That was unique to WinCE of the day. "Sure, we can do it without flash!" No, no you can't, Microsoft. Not when an OS crash can destroy all your files. What a festering piece of shit.
True, but they did bury Palm. A friend of mine invested some money & developed programs for CE & did OK for a while. All the time he was bitching about how the MS dev forums were begging for more innovation with the platform. All the ideas & suggestions were ignored, CE was left to rot due to complacency.
No. Clinton ordered the banks to be more willing to write mortgages on STARTER HOMES for first time buyers who couldn't afford large down payments and had less than stellar credit (but not terroble).
In 2000 I got my first mortgage. I had to go FHA because I did not have a large enough down payment. No way would I have gotten the loan without STELLAR CREDIT. All FHA was doing was allowing zero down (which still cost about 6K in costs) but no way did they allow bad credit buyers. That didn't really get off the ground until 2004, thanks George W "A Home of Your Own" Bush. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Where are my mod points when I need them? Fucking piece-of-shit "nation of whiners" Phil Fucking Gramm is still out there working for UBS AG writing editorials for the WSJ about how we can fuck up everything even more if we just vote for republicans.
If Phil Gramm recommends it, I know to do the opposite.
Government gave a cheaper , faster solution? How could that happen?
As a rule of thumb, if government can do anything much cheaper than Corporations, that tends to prove the Corporations are gouging or just plain doing it wrong.
Or the private corporations are not doing anything at all that that market.
Actually I work for a Fortune 500 & they make such wacky decisions they make government look good. I really don't know how they get away with it, but then I don't hold any of their stock.
For someone who represents the people, how can they possibly justify being against municipal broadband?
What is it going to take to get a by the people, for the people government? Torches & pitchforks?
After seeing the movie for the first time after 20 some years, Obiwan letting Luke fire up his father's lightsaber kina bothered me a little. Holy crap, he's waving this thing around IN THE HOUSE! I got a 17 year old & there is no way he is playing with a lightsaber in the house. TAKE IT OUTSIDE & make damn sure the dog is inside!
My wife would be like "NO WAY is he playing with that thing", you take it back to the store right now!"
...for now. I've yet to hear about a 3D printed gun that I would think was safe to be in the vicinity of when it was fired. Simple homemade zip guns are safer. I suppose a machined plastic composite (John Malcovich!) is effective & might slip through a metal detector (not sure how you get the ammo through) but we sure haven't heard much about them.
As the technology progresses this will likely change. But right now the high end 3D printer I have access to in my R&D lab couldn't create a decent, safe to use firearm. It could print out something that looks really cool & would freak people out!
Without any research, I had thought by turning off the data collection, it was actually off. I'm unsure how they are getting away with this. Why hasn't someone filed a lawsuit yet?
I've used Firefox to read ePubs. It seemed to work well for me but I don't have any experience with other applications. But if you CAN use Firefox, does it matter if some other ereader on the tablet fails to work? Or am I missing something here?

George Martin's next book should be a winner then!
This was an international agreement. Interational sanctions were going to fall apart no matter what. This deal was the best we were going to get.

Dammit I must be officially old now.
A 30 minute commute 5 days a week has convinced me human beings are too prone to mistakes to drive a car safely. I see close calls almost daily.
...for now. I've yet to hear about a 3D printed gun that I would think was safe to be in the vicinity of when it was fired. Simple homemade zip guns are safer.

OK so MS is collecting more data than ever before, even with the options turned off. Apple & Google both do it, correct?
