they already have injection molding machines that do that; they've had that for decades (since the 90s at least) i remember going to brookfield zoo, and having a gorilla made to order in '90 and then again in '03 i could probably go and get another one once the zoo opens
don't these printers take hours to make even small things? doesn't seem like a good investment for someone trying to make a living in a over-priced tourist town
$5000?! the great thing about kickstarter is there's no accountability.
You want to get funding to write a C++ book? Start doing some grant writing.
Your school doesn't provide any hosting space? Why can't you put it up there? Also, there are already tons of online resources for c++. What will make yours unique?
learning the syntax of a language is easy. the challenge lies in learning concepts like linked lists, or object oriented programming if you want to do something useful make a 2-page cheat sheet on the language, and then host a website with coding challenges (or just donate to project euler)
avoid banking at work? i always figured that was more secure than at my own home (shared wifi with two room mates- neither seem tech savvy, but you never know.; WPA2 but short password) it sounds like if my room mates computers are compromised, i can get phished with the method?
vocabulary flashcards (either "college words" in your native language, or a new language) listen to a song smoke a cigarette do 10 lunges doodle, or paint (i like doodling on my tablet, but i also carry watercolors and a stack of 3x5 notecards)
they are as valuable as speed writing tests Took the GRE a year ago, and got a 0 on the writing portion since I decided to write an essay about how useless speed writing is. Real writing, is a very useful skill- that's when you have access to a piece of writing software that can do simple things like spell check! Similarly, knowing how to spit out code is not nearly as useful of a skill as knowing how to break a problem down, and decide what tools would be best for it.
criminals. textbook publishers are criminals schools have already put into the cost of my tuition fees for maintaining blackboard. now the publisher turns around, and creates a similar site, with less functionality, and less support, and they expect me to pay for it. professors don't mind- they get free access, and the publisher will go ahead and put together a syllabus/homework/etc, so they have less work to do at the cost of the students already taxed pocket book criminals
you're a 4th year EE student, why not just take one apart?
The SNES uses custom chips for most of its functionality. Unless he has access to decapping facilities, taking one apart will provide only limited information.
Java is well documented, and has classes to take care of all sorts of little details. If you want to make games, learning java will transfer easily in to making games for Android O/S.
not trying to be brash, or curt or whatever, but can someone explain the larger implications?
what does this mean for me (the average non-very-savvy-when-it-comes-to-security person)? should I stop using tor (is tor pptp?)? should I stop using vpn, or wpa wireless networks?
this actually doesn't seem that interesting, I mean, if you use a cloud-based cracker, couldn't you have submitted the wpa handshake there already?

i love pinball, but finding a machine is rare! let's hope bars/arcades start stocking them instead of that stupid bowling/golf thingy
the prize is a $200 gift certificate to a website i hate.
this must be a joke.

my other questions are still relevant
also, $500 is definitely low enough to fund via traditional means (grant writing, etc)

impressed that it's all on one page, instead of spread out with one tip per page, and advertisements after every 5 pages

Not because it's effective, but because you can!

I'm an ME, so I don't know much about reverse engineering electronics.
maybe this will help?

Seriously, the first four comments are all about how easy this will be to fake out!
I'm going to make a comment about how awesome science is.
SCIENCE!
took 12 years, but it just goes to show, nerds > suits
