Lunar regolith is just minerals, but the structure is different. Dust and grains on earth tend to be rounded and smooth due to erosion. Not so on the moon, it is largely sharp and jagged. It holds footprints without slumping as a result [Mythbusters 1].

It is plentiful, you just have to engineer the printers to use the material, which may be difficult as there is not much of the real stuff to test with.
The last thing you want is a popup saying "HP LunarJet 1050P has detected a nonstandard or refilled cartridge. Printing suspended."
Patent trolling is of interest to many a nerd. Don't like it, don't read the article. I rarely read a bitcoin article. If you really, really hate it you can go over to Reddit.
I have used online paid services that have stopped working, without notification, even after the closure, kept billing me, without providing support. I have paid solutions sometimes several 1000 $ without getting a single support answer when encountering problems.
1. Hotwebsluts.com does not constitute a true web service. 2. They do not provide support for ED. Call your doctor.

Even if the comparison to Swartz is apples and oranges, it is valid in that corporations face little retribution for shady or outright criminal actions. You rob a bank you may serve life. A bank robs millions of people and grts government bail out dollars. Welcome to the brave new world.
My point exactly about the subsidized phoned. And if for some reason they have not recouped their costs for providing the phone at a discount through their contract, that is a failure of their MBAs, not the customer. They chose the terms, not the customer.
This is already done. All carriers keep a list of phones with bad ESN/MEID numbers. THey become bad through being reported lost or stolen, or having an outstanding balance. This even keeps sales of phones between customers of the same carrier down. You cant just buy a sprint phone from someone and expect it to work on sprint, if the ESN/MEID is blacklisted its a no go.
Carrier lock is simply a way for them to try to abduct more customers. I use abduct very purposefully here.
abduct [ab-duhkt]
verb (used with object)
1.
to carry off or lead away (a person) illegally and in secret or by force, especially to kidnap.
There is no technical or contractual reason to keep you locked. The OP is correct in that you sign a binding legal contract when entering a contract with a mobile carrier, but when that contract is up, they want you to stay, not run off to some n-contract or other carrier with the phone you purchased (albiet at a subsidy) from them. If their contract did not cover the subsidy discount on the phone, then they need to redo their math and stop devices that are now legally owned by others hostage.
In addition to this however, there is no incentive for handset makers to push to change it. If you cannot continue to use your phone on a carrier you like, what do you do? You purchase a new phone and the handset maker profits as well.
None of this fosters competition or aids the consumer. It is solely a self serving policy by those in (capitalistic) power.
There was an AC post in another/. article about this I liked. It said something like create a crappy copyrighted work (in paint, sndrec of you singing, whatever). Host it free somewhere. Now create another page that says you do not have permission to download this file, with a link to the hosted file. Spam out the link to the page that says DO NOT DOWNLOAD everywhere you can. Not just one or two places, but thousands. Hell, post it through 10,000 forum backlinks free scams.
Now collect the IPs of everyone who clicks the link and vies the file. Spam the six strike system with those IPs.
If they ignore legitimate notices from you and do not issue alerts, sue, as they are using what is supposed to be a fair arbitration system to only police for content/companies they deem worthy. Keep flooding them with -legitimate- requests until they cannot handle it.
My apologies to the AC before me. I started my post before his posted (or it was under my threshold). I still say mine is better and more complete:)
And I am not AC in fear of a take down notice!
lightning crashes, a new server dies
it's VMs respond no more
the admin opens his eyes
the confusion sets in
as the NOC makes call after call
lightning crashes, and old server dies
its RAID array spinning no more
the admin closes his eyes
he needs more caffeine
to bring up a new server, in under an hour
Cooling fans spinning up again
If he fixes it, it'll feel like a win
RAID 5 stripe parity error again
He can feel it.
lightning crashes, the whole racks dies
blades are smoking in rack four
the admin opens his eyes
red bloodshot eyes
He's tired of putting out all these fires
Cooling fans spinning up again
If he fixes it, it'll feel like a win

He can feel it.
Any lawyer, doctor, or otherwise professional dealing with confidential information should use a private email service. They should also advise clients to do the same. Failure of the client to do so is thier fault. And snail mail options do still exist.
Does anyone really believe that Microsoft isn't selling free customer information in a similar way ?
I bet you a dime to a donut they are. and after typing that last line I got a Dunkin Donuts add in Microsoft Bing how amazing.
Set up two sealed rooms with a glass wall.
In one room have a car outside the window with its exhaust piped into the room.
In the other have a cyclist on an exercise bike working out. Pipe his exhalations into the room.
Outfit the room with a nice desk and sofa and other accouterments. Then ask the esteemed congressman which room he would like to spend the day in.
For myself it would depend on if the cyclist had eaten garlic recently!
They are not in the red, so it makes money. Also, as much as I love half-life and want to see it continue, I would rather wait years than see something like Call of Duty:Half Life edition.
That said, I still hold to the idea that Valve's trifecta of titles (Half-Life, L4D, and Portal), will initially be exclusive on a "Steam Box" console and doled out over a schedule in order to inflate initial adoption.

Hmm, a joke about HP printers gets modded flamebait. I didn't know HP could afford /. shills.
