    Not sure what you mean by 3d print to completion, unless you mean no other steps than printing and then using.

    As far as the ABS guns, my understanding was that the only metal parts were the ammo and firing pin.

    I have an Asus laptop, and have only one complaint. I don't think the cooling system is adequate. But, I didn't get a monster gaming machine, I got an understated gaming machine.

    When running Minecraft, my laptop overheats and crashes. When playing normal high graphics games, no issue. I think it is the combination of video card stress and CPU stress which most video games can't accomplish, but that Minecraft does with ease (due to incredibly bad programming).

    I have a ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW. The vents on the underside are tiny, so that most likely is the entire issue. I have it sitting on a laptop fan pad, and if I have the laptop open, it seems to delay the overheat lockup, but if it is closed it quickly overheats.

    Last time I played around with Cyanogen, you had to load the rom from SD card in order to burn it to the internal flash. Without any kind of SD slot, I am unsure of where you would store the image in order to load it onto the phone.

    Yes our understanding of the basic laws of physics are complete.

    They are? That is news to every physicist ever. As far as I knew, we still don't completely understand dark matter and dark energy, but I guess since these laws are complete you can explain it better than all the physicists and astronomers.

    What basic laws of physics does slow travel to another star system violate? The ship would have to be huge and have a self sustaining biosphere as well as some serious power production, but I see no physical laws that say it CANNOT EVER HAPPEN.

    Apparently, even with numerous attempts to debunk it, NASA was unable to prove that it was a measurement error.

    Last story I heard about this was that they think they know what is causing the effect, and possible ways to improve the device. One of the suggestions was that if the cavity was filled with a dielectric, it would improve the performance of the device.

    This device is still in the "that's weird" category, but it seems to be headed to "Eureka!" more than "oh, well that is where the error is".

    My guess is that this publishing attempt is to see if anyone can point at something they didn't think of, kind of like the faster than light neutrinos, they know it can't be true, but can't figure out what is causing the error.

    and improvements in understanding this may become viable for flying car type energy/thrust requirements.

    That would be along the lines of hover cars using ion engines. The thrust isn't that high, this thing would be more along the lines of station keeping thrusters on satellites or low thrust over long periods for a trip to Mars or something.

    I doubt rooting the phone would be any help, Google doesn't put media card slots into their branded phones, so you would have nowhere to load the roms from if you decided to switch to Cyanogen.

    It has a meaning, but yes, it has been overused.

    The way I define it is someone who tries to censor someone else because they don't like what they have to say.
    Another thing I have seen from this group is that no matter how much evidence provided to them of how wrong their position is, they continuously argue the same points. AmiMoJo has actually taken to attacking sources, even when they provide numerous citations and screen captures of the incidents.
