It'll be akin to existing photo printing at supermarkets. Send your design from home, it'll be ready in a number of hours. It'll appeal to the same people who don't want to buy a decent quality colour printer, and photo paper, and ink, etc to print their own photos.
People will print things that aren't already mass-produced and available at the dollar store next door. Vacuum cleaner part broke? I'll get one 3D printed in 2 hours rather than send $50 to the manufacturer and wait for it to ship, if it still exists.
However, slowing it down is a Good Thing. If we slow down the rate of generating carbon dioxide, there may be hope that we can match or exceed that rate of removing it - through some combination of natural elimination (plants? oceans? or some sort of clever geoengineering. Something along the lines of a solar powered CO2 remover would be most excellent.
Heh, I was almost starting to believe that Microsoft was working towards to shaking the "insecure, virus-infested, crash-prone, blue screen of death" reputation that they've built up over the years....
whoever57 was right actually. The law is a poor barometer for morality. Recall that slavery was once legal.... and that doesn't mean for a moment that it's right. You can Godwin this yourself.
How do we know whats behind the button? It's easy enough to claim that its simply a RNG, but it could equally be radio controlled by a guy watching one of the camera feeds. This is akin to closed source encryption software - we gotta trust that the guys who built it are truthful. Sorry Bruce, this is actually security theatre.
If users will be fired/jailed for working around a PDF mangling filter, the solution is to ban all PDFs, not mangle them and expect the users to keep doing their jobs. Permit raster image attachments, not PDFs.
If you rasterize and re-encapsulate your user's PDF attachments, your users will hate you, and work around your "stupid filter that breaks pdf attachments". You are better off blocking all PDF attachments by email. It'll save yourself a ton of work, and your users can skip the frustration of mangled attachments and go directly to working around your filter.
You don't need a solution that rewrites the PDF. At best it will work correctly "most of the time", and break PDFs the rest of the time. For example, pdf->ps->pdf, or the "print to pdf" solution mentioned earlier in the comments may work fine for scanned PDFs, but if there are annotations/comments then they'll get stripped. This will lead to massive user frustration ("but the comments are there, I sent it in the last email") and people having to find ways to work around your filter. Modifying people's attachments is a bad move. A more reasonable solution is to detect if the PDF contains any javascript code, and if it does, block the PDF entirely.
So if we now know over a thousand compounds that convert at least 11% of the sunlight, then we should simply employ nine of the cheapest to achieve 99% conversion, solving the problem once and for all!
Yeah, which effectively circumvents the unlocking rule. So what good is the carriers-must-unlock rule if they get to set the fee? Why would I unlock my phone for $399.99? I guess we could go ahead and simply get phones unlocked online, but wait, that's what we did before this rule was written.
Well, if the average revenue per user is order $60, and the price jack is 61 cents, then this revenue gain would be offset by roughly 1% of users leaving. That doesn't seem like a stretch despite the pathological fear you mentioned!

They can't put everybody on their radar!
That's existed for years. Ex: http://www.icingimages.com/edible-cake-picture
There's nothing inherently 3D about that though.

Quite right, Jevon's paradox is a harsh mistress.

In this house, we do not preach security by obscurity!

Until you get malware that is smart enough to detect if it's in a VM, only activating when it's not in a VM...

Looks like these guys made a tool to do the JS detection: http://www-rsec.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/laskov/papers/acsac2011.pdf
