I can see two rolls kind tucked to the side there, with tape just loosely hanging out. Would it somehow take parts out of those?
What about designs with lots of different parts? Parts that don't come on rolls (this is about small numbers and prototypes after all)? How much time goes into preparing all the parts for pick up?
I only need a 3D printer in rare occasions, which does not justify buying one. So I would like to get easy access to one.
Take a better, faster, more expensive printer. Put it in a vending machine like case and sell the printing service by time/volume maybe? Couple it with a 3d scanner, so I can scan in some part I need copied / remade right there. But also make it possible to remotely queue jobs and then pick them up at the store later when they're finished.
I am imagining somthing like a postal package station, only the stuff you can pick up is being made right inside the machine.
I was assuming that we would at least stop at destilled water. Applying the "sewage' attribute to pure water molecules would be superstitio, unless you assumed the sewage was somehow radioactive.
Usually towns located at a river will pipe their (hopefully treated) sewage into that river. Towns downstream will often get at least part of their drinking water from groundwater taken near the river (the river guarantees a steady groundwater level), treat it again, then use it.
This adds some cubics of soil as additional filter, but is basicly the same thing.
Really, unless the town is lucky to get first access to some mountain's stream, the drinking water will always be at least part 'treated sewage'.
For me, RSS is the stuff to justify playing around with fancy desktop gadjets and mobile apps.Setting up the perfect desktop/homescreen with INFORMATION everywhere. So efficient! Then never to be used, or read afterwards.
Maybe that is exactly what they were trying to set up, hence the need to send such information to test it. Of course they should have used bogus information in that case...?
Probably because it is not a precedence based jurisdiction, so this case has no concern for them. They can relax, wait and battle when/if they are actually target of a lawsuit. Of course this decission may be an indicator of how the law is to be interpreted, but that is a problem with the law itself and winnning this case for the guy will change nothing about that for the ISPs.
The first part 'loss of life' should already be covered by simply applying murder and/or manslaughter charges. There is no reason to invent a new law for this, only because it's done with a computer.
The second part 'threat to the country's national security' on the other hand is such a broad term, it is basicly a blank check where they can fill in any sentence for any crime as they wish.
So I guess it's really about the second part, and the first part is only there to give it more weight: 'HACKERS MIGHT KILL YOU!'
The important thing is, that there is an easy and safe fall back mechanism for the automation in case of catastrophic failure. In this case it is: - cut the engine, apply brakes. Easy to perform, even if automation completely fails and can be engineered with multiple rendundancy.
For a plane: - lower altitude, find safe landing spot, try to land the plane, ??? Can not be done with malfunctioning automation -> human has to be there to take over this job (good luck human..)
An insurance company will compensate you. The insurance pay will be lower than your usual car insurance, because the automatic cars are statistically safer and insurance companies love statistics.
Slashdot Mirror
Couldn't they have just redefined the acronym?
'Xenon Based Media Center'.. something something... It does not have to make sense. Just shorten it back to XBMC. There. No more trademark violation.
We don't even know what the X in xbox stands for either. No one cares.
But Notepad(++) is pretty good...
Both Xbox and PS3 could store more than 10GB of music and neither costs 2500$+ per unit.
If the paid royalities to someone, it can't be close to those numbers.
How do I feed it parts?

Hey, easy now!
Scientists are humans too.

So... biocrackers?
I think I've seen those in the local deli.
The computer in the watch can do that, no biggie.
The key is user interface and that seems unlikely.

Maybe they were setting up a system to automatically detect and intercept all emails containing 'sensitive client information'.

Read the arcticle so you don't have to:
This is about removing artists from Youtube, not from the Google search engine.
And no grip whatsoever in curves. Weeeeeee~
That was only the partial quote in the summary.
What he really meant to say was:
"Now that we got tanks, America has become a warzone."

Maybe, but it is their cash.
One spends gov money more easily than one's own.
No problem, the EU just raised 2.8 billion to pay for lawyers.
Blue LEDs correlate with evil.

True, the car is much slower and can just stop moving at any point, without crashing into the ground.
