  1. Re:Next step - Semiconductors on ISS's 3-D Printer Creates Its First Object In Space · · Score: 1

    Then probably you're no fan when someone at NASA will decide what could be done if a 3D printer was put on an asteroid and is instructed to build a deep space sensor? Or most likely when a 3D printer is place on an meteor and instructed to build a container structure with a solar sail to fly back to the Moon?

    I just thought, what a great game and movie idea...

    Those that allow the bastardization of the H1B program to persist are not traitors, but they would rather sell their patriotisum to the highest bidder.

    I'm thinking David Cameron should get back to work; unless it's his career move to reduce the worlds population of people named, "Lee Rigby." So far, the results are pretty damning for dave.

    Killing your customer is bad for business. The robotrs are not for combat, but manufacturing cheaper goods. What else can work in a smog drenched industrial scape.

    Is this a good time to bring up counter measures like, "Three Laws Safe?"

  8. Re:How do I refill it? on Toyota Names Upcoming Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car · · Score: 1

    Is it because that it's currently the cheapest, and already established way? I'm thinking that only the dangerously naive would think that a Fuel Cell industry would spring up over night. Another observation is that Fuel Cells were demonstrated by NASA in the 1960's. Why didn't they use Lawn Mower engines in the Space Program?

    The last time I checked, getting oil based products wasn't free either. What's even more amazing is that as the price of solar and wind gets cheaper, so does oil. Coincidence? I think not. Another interesting thing is that as more and more Solar and Wind devices go online, their use is not ignored. Fuel Cells make water, Internal Combustion Engines make Smog. Is your health cost worthless?

    I used google and hydrogen fuel station locations, it's impressive. Of course, the U.S. lies between 2 largest hydrogen pools on the planet; the Atlantic, and the Pacific oceans. I'm going to go out on limb and state, "given the pollutants of hydrocarbons, and water; water would be more useful."

    Sadly, it's not cheaper. The pollutants of both processes are what? As for the cost? That is relative, and costs change every day.

    What are third and fourth world economies going to do when they have to learn how read to earn a living?! There's a little boy, "Ashowkar Gupta" and his only dream is to wade into the Ganges when it becomes a gray and bubbling gue. Now his dreams are shattered by a Sky Net T-1000 "cannibalizing" e-waste. How will Ashowkar's future be now? Tragic, just tragic.

    What has my attention was all the Milling and CNC required for the prototype. I guess 3D Printing was beyond the scope of the Design Team? I thought, "2 segments, not 3. And how heavy is this thing? I've got wood floors, and watching their prototype move accross my floor would be a challenge."

    The Boss:

    2. "wants the best and brightest minds available" to create a "new" web site.
    3. wants years and years of experience for a 30 day, 1099 contract.
    4. says it pays the industry average, for college grads.
    5. knows that outsourcing is the only way to "keep a competitive advantage, in America."

    What really helps is the "Golden Rule" applied to Congress.

    If one were to look at China, one would see similiar groups, but of an asian orientation. Those are the folks that do the cleaning, also. What do you think is going to happen in China when about a billion workers don't have a job in the "Workers Paradise?" What does anyone generally do when there is no work?

    OK, let's look at the Market. You come home, it's clean. You look at your phone, you have a text message that said your parents are coming by. And your home is clean. Robo-Mop is in the closet charging up to do the same thing tomorrow. Is this a great country, or what?
