    Unless the ECM (Extra Cellular Matrix) comes in convenient scaffold form, you would still need to build the scaffold from the pig cells first. The 3D printer doesn't need the pre-built scaffold, so it's still easier than current ECM methods.

    Maybe it's a gesture in the right direction, but a gesture doesn't even move you in the right direction; it just indicates where the right direction is.

    A more effective action would be for people to disrupt the "sleep signal" to the rest of the citizens, so they'll wake up and act. We'll never get the freedom fire in our hearts when we're mesmerized by celebrities dancing or hillbillies acting stupid.

    Everyone in government lies.

    People in government or in power never follow the rules they setup for us plebeians; that's the benefit of being in power. Heck, all you need is a lot of money, then you even kill people and walk away with no consequences. Asking for justice from a system that inherently has no justice is unrealistic and delusional.

    So how does one get justice? You have to go take it yourself. Look at the rest of the world, what's going on currently. Ukraine, Thailand, Egypt for example. Corrupt governments where people are taking action to try to stop it or change things. What do we do here? Write harshly-worded memos? Comment on slashdot?

    If you're that lazy, and you obviously don't object to cold delivery food, just get a blender and throw all your cold delivery food into it and drink your meals. Laziest way to eat is to drink. No utensils needed.

  20. Solution: Android mini pc + XBMC on Ask Slashdot: Suggestions For a Simple Media Server? · · Score: 1

    Since the TV does not have media browsing/playback capabilities built-in, he needs a front-end device to provide the media to the TV, such as the Netgear NeoTV Max. He's currently using his PC running Linux Mint as his media server.

    The problem is the Netgear NeoTV Max is not seeing all the media while using: Plex, Serviio. He would also like it to stream BBC.

    For a back-end media server, there are two main options: transcoding or non-transcoding. Plex transcodes (translates video from one format to another) on-the-fly, so it should be mostly seamless and allow playback of a wider variety of formats. XBMC does not transcode (there may be a plugin for that now), but it is easy to setup and free and highly configurable, although you don't have to change anything if you just want to use it as a media server. The capability to transcode a media file is not essential, unless your front end device has limited media playback capabiliites.

    For a front end device, either a small media player, like the NeoTV, Roku or WD TV Live, or an Android mini pc should work fine. Some of the new Android gaming devices, like the Oyua, Madcatz MOJO and Huawei Tron come with the ability to run Android programs, which enables running the Android version of XBMC. Using XBMC as a front-end client interface allows streaming media, such as BBC, to the TV.

    I recommend getting an Android mini pc, such as the Huawei Tron or Madcatz MOJO, and run XBMC on it. I would also recommend running XBMC on the Linux Mint media server. The Android mini pc attached to the TV will be able to view and play the media files on the Linux Mint media server that is also running XBMC.
