    Why are people paying different amounts for different crypto-currencies? Why is a Dogecoin worth more than a Reddcoin? Etc.

    How long are these satellites going to last?

    The same duration as anything released over the past few decades: warranty time + one day.

    I can't envision a world where cars can be easily home built from standard parts.

    But... but... 3D printers!

    Can't beat the shipping delays from the USA to Canada however. And they also have free shipping. For smaller boards, I still prefer oshpark.

    We bring you high quality, lead free boards (ENIG finish), manufactured in the USA, and shipped for free to anywhere in the world.

    Can't beat that!

    You mean, could it shit bricks?

    If a simple bending unit can do it, I'm sure NASA can too.

    If you want population control, don't kill people. Control births in a humane way.

  15. Materials? on NASA Announces the 3D Printed Habitat Challenge For Moon and Mars Bases · · Score: 3, Insightful

    3D printing habitats on Mars and on the moon... okay, I'm guessing something similar to what's currently being done with concrete, but what about the materials? How are people supposed to make "Mars/moon concrete" for their tests? Also, printing with a different gravity will change a lot of parameters and how the layers interact with each other, curing speed with air vs in a vacuum, solar rays on earth vs Mars/moon, etc.

    There's way too many variables that are completely different for such a challenge to represent what will actually happen.

    Do you work for the Huffington Post? Why not link directly to the DeviantART page of DirkLoechel?

    And right next behind the power of the TARDIS is the wormhole weapon.

    So what "class" does the TARDIS fit into then? It's "small" but not small...

    What do you mean? An African outside or European inside?

    This is a Star Trek/Star Wars/Firefly/etc thread. No superhero movie references allowed.

  20. Re:Cheaper? on Linino-Enabled Arduino Yun Shrinks In Size and Cost · · Score: 1

    No, what I mean by "the other guys" is that they're trying to steal the Arduino names. I got no problems with clones, I buy "Pro mini Arduino" boards from Chinese sellers on eBay.

    Even if I wanted to buy the "real thing", their shipping cost alone is going to be more than the cost of the part from eBay because the Chinese sellers have free shipping. I still don't get how that works.

    edit*: this is not a true Arduino, this is something made by the "other guys".

    If you want the real Arduino stuff, go to Arduino.cc

    * sort of an edit. Thank you Slashdot for your forum system from 1965.
