My money is on the compacted bones of several generations dead Indians, dead Chinese, assorted dead hookers, and several former mayors who wouldn't play ball.
3D printing isn't fundamentally different than traditional manufacturing, it's just another form of it. A general purpose 3D printer is more versatile than custom equipment--but also much slower, more expensive, and less consistent.
And just because it's new and hip doesn't automatically make it the wave of the future. I bet there was a guy like you in the 50's who was making fun of everyone who didn't believe flying cars would ever become common, no doubt calling them luddites with no vision.
I think you mean whoever gets there and brutally murders anyone who was there before them wins the rights.
That's what I meant by "with the most." As grandpappy used to say "Your claim ain't shit if you can't defend it, boy!" Of course, grandpappy also used to tell me to never let a colored move into my neighborhood or trust a jew with my money, so his ideas weren't always on completely solid footing.
Speaking of underrated science fiction films, I would like to also throw in a movie that often gets overlooked: Time After Time. How can you beat a science fiction film where the protagonist is H.G. Wells?
I do always hate it when science fiction and fantasy get mixed in together as "genre films." I have nothing against fantasy, mind you. And I'm aware there is a lot of crossover, especially among genre writers. But the two are very different forms in many ways. Sure, you can intermix them--in the same way you could make a science fiction noir detective story, or a science fiction sports movie. But fantasy generally incorporates implausible or supernatural elements, whereas science fiction stories generally stick to elements that must at least be justified as POSSIBLE in their setting. Not that the lines don't get blurred sometimes.
It's an interesting proof of concept. But costs are going to have to come way down (perhaps with scale) for it to be very practical. 3D printing seems better suited to one-off parts rather than general manufacture. If you're going to build a million copies of something, it's probably always going to be cheaper just to build the traditional custom manufacturing equipment rather than using a general-purpose 3D printer.
If someone tried to rob me with a plastic 3D printed gun, part of me would be tempted to resist just on the decent chance that they would blow their own hand off rather than shooting me.
Supercharger, which they are putting up all over the place on both coasts
According to their own website they now have a total of 42, most of them in California--with vast swaths of the mid-west, southeast, and northwest having none.
Don't worry. There is always some other state or country willing to foot the bill (preferably one where the governor will call out the state guard to bust any unions for you).
I love my Roku 3. AFAIC, there are only two problems with it, the fact that Netflix added that annoying "Post-Play" so-called feature to it's Roku interface recently (with no ability to disable it) and the lack of YouTube.
Now I can watch pron (try doing THAT with your AppleTV), all my favorite online shows, Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Hulu, etc. all on one fast, simple box. And no monthly Xbox Live fees, annoying interfaces (except with Netflix), stuttering with HD content, or slow interface that I've seen on other media players.
The summary makes a (pretty much meaningless) distinction between Ubuntu requiring different base installations for different desktops, instead of a single base installation. So yeah, Ubuntu is different from most distros in that regard I guess. But no one really gives a fuck. But I guess distros will do anything these days to try to distinguish themselves from every other distro out there that's pretty much the same.

But they get a "meaningful and rewarding career," that is, if you define "meaningful" to mean "unpaid" and "rewarding" to mean "dead-end."
Well, the air in Beijing is thicker than corn anyway.
I mean, if you're just going to throw it away and all.

He who gets there, and stays there, first with the most wins the rights.

Fuckin' aye.

Ripley demonstrated the value of strong leadership in a crisis (when everyone else is panicking).
So, it's true. Trolls really DO live in caves.
I'm still waiting on the first fully-functional 2D gun.

Fortunately, you can still buy a factory-made .45 for a few hundred dollars. 3D printing has a long way to go.

they wouldn't save much by moving to a red state
A red state means never having to deal with unions ever again.
Moving a factories costs a fortune.
Don't worry. There is always some other state or country willing to foot the bill (preferably one where the governor will call out the state guard to bust any unions for you).
First they came for the pron, to protect the children.
Then they came for the VPN sites, to protect us from the pron.
Then they came for the hacker sites, to protect us from finding out how to access the VPN's.
Then they assumed state control of the internet, which they turned into a local intranet to protect us from the hackers.
And then they began censoring all the sites that criticized the government, because they could.
The rest of us are grateful for your generous contributions to our new luxury cars.

Nature abhors a vacuum.
I think it's more the case that internet providers abhor someone who isn't paying top dollar for their top "Super Duper Fast" tier.

You can install the DE of your choice on top of base Fedora
That's the case with pretty much every distro out there. Ubuntu is the exception in that regard.
