Do any of these low-cost 3D printers improve substantially on the 1.3mm resolution and 25/kg material costs that I've seen? If not the toy industry has nothing to worry about (yet).
What would be the ecological effect of harvesting huge amounts of seaweed?
Bad, of course. The ecological effects of doing anything useful are always bad. That's why the only "green" thing to do is huddle under a tree (but don't disturb the roots!) eating windfalls and waiting for the sun to go out.
It may just be typical bungled page design. I have Firefox configured to enforce a 16 pt minimum font size, which causes many sites to garble themselves. Oh, well. I can't really afford such toys anyway.
No, not much thicker in the large gages used for power transmission. Due to skin effect (enhanced by the magnetic properties of steel) most of the current flows near the surface so the lower conductivity in the steel interior has little effect. What the steel does do (in addition to making the wire cheaper) is make it stronger so that poles can be spaced farther apart. Of course, ACSR does these things better than does copperweld.
See copperweld . It's obsolete here in the Midwest, though. The utilities here have been using ACSR for overhead conductors for decades. Buried cable is also aluminum. There is no good reason to use copper for power transmission (there is also no good reason to use copper for building wiring, but that's a different can of worms).
> So [our] [insides] [are to be] filled with water for this little guy to swim?
Neutral saline, anyway. And they'll have to be emptied first, just as for a colonoscopy. The main advantage is that this device can explore the small intestine.
> Anyone see how it can get stuck?
No. You can easily pass things larger than this without noticing (unless you have severe obstructions, but you and your physician would know if you did).
Note that for cameras to be any use the tract must still be filled with gas or transparent liquid. Thus purging will still be required even with this device. They'll just pump you full of neutral saline instead of air.

There's a problem with your theory. His name was George Westinghouse.

Pedantically, though, CMEs cannot directly damage your home electronics.
A euphemism for political crime. See also "hate crime".

I gave up on creating an account for the same reason.
...to have to read the FAQ to find the specifications or to figure out how to place an order.
...why they should continue doing business with RSA.

Modern connectors work fine with aluminum and are so rated by UL. You'd be hard put to find devices for sale that are not labeled AL/CU.

I doubt that you will be able to feel it at all. At most the sensation will be similar to mild gas.

Almost as boring as Web searching, in fact.
Which is pretty much the same as talking the security officer into letting you use your other hand or other eye.
...this is rather silly. Should they just leave the coins for the janitors? What do you think becomes of coins found around, say, subway stations?
Only a fool uses a single password for multiple sites. Write the damn things down as Bruce Schneier tells you.
As for your brain hurting, that's exercise. No pain, no gain.
> Where else would you make it and why?
Eastern Europe, the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, India... Many possibilites for contract manufacturing other than China.

There is a journal entirely devoted to exactly that.
It's provided for in the protocol and in the software. NTP (and Chrony) will simply insert an extra second.
