  5. Re:Scalable Vector Printing! Now in 3D!!! on 3-D Printing Pen Can Draw In the Air · · Score: 1

    To be fair, that is exactly what stratasys/reprap/makerbot etc. printers do in the XY plane. They are more like plotters in that regard. True, they do scan in the Z plane, but that is mostly a software problem. if you don't, making sure not to bump the head into the model is an extra problem you'd have to solve.

    At work we have a similar setup courtesy of our $^#^%#$$% Thompson Speedtouch modem. You can't get a decent signal from that thing when you are further than three paces away from it.

    What is "real money" according to you? Because those pieces of metal and paper are accounting devices, not money. Those numbers in a database are just as real. Both represent a social contract that facilitates barter.

    If you count gold or silver as having an intrinsic value then it is no longer money but a commodity.
