  1. Re:Slow News on Popular Shuttered Torrent Site Demonoid Returns · · Score: 1

    That was my thought too.. this ISN'T news at this point.

    "Demonoid has survived 2 months after returning and is going strong" might have been a better story line.

    True, but i was talking about future machines, as we are still at the infancy of home 3D printing. Once they mature it will be a push button affair.

    i only state facts, if you feel that is a personal attack by stating the truth, it only proves my point further.

    Sure, you could build something 100% from scratch and even skip the 'kits', or just buy an older car that was pre-perversion in age, but i was thinking along the lines of a current day mass produced vehicle.

    I have not seen one, but that didn't mean it does not exist.

    Your reading comprehension, and grasp on reality are pathetic. Increase those to normal levels and try again. Until then, stop bothering the rest of us.

  8. Re:Not a very thorough evaluation on UK Ballistics Scientists: 3D-Printed Guns Are 'of No Use To Anyone' · · Score: 1

    Yes. For 2 reasons:

    1 - CNC is on the order of a magnitude more expensive than additive 3D printing, which will only go down further in cost as technology advances. CNC, well, its already advanced to the point i dont see any reduction in costs. Non CNC hardware would be less costly, but would require an even higher investment in education ( see point #2 )

    2 - 3D printing requires no special skill or knowledge, unlike subtractive machining. You load it with plastic or resin ( a simple operation ) and hit the print button then walk away for a few hours. When you come back you have a object.

    Next question?

    Why do that when you can buy a blob of raw aluminum and make it all from scratch? Or ever better, recycle the aluminum from scrap in a furnace. I can do it, why not you?

    Once you figure out the answer to that question you will understand why your statement was ludicrous, and bordering on trolling.

  12. Even if true on UK Ballistics Scientists: 3D-Printed Guns Are 'of No Use To Anyone' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I suspect the test was setup to fail, to prove a predetermined agenda, but even if it was 100% true, we are just starting out with this use for printed materials, and it takes time to perfect new technologies. Even if it *never* becomes viable, it still helped push the limits of the technology and will benefit other uses.

    Pretty sad when if people were to operate that way " well, it doesn't work so no point in trying"... If that was always the case, we would still be living in caves hoping we dont get eaten.

  18. Re:What! on TrueCrypt Website Says To Switch To BitLocker · · Score: 1

    Right, i was speaking more towards the original post, like all that matters was windows users.

    Full disk is supported most everywhere these days ( and everyone should use it if they can ), but i do have to admit that with true crypt having a way to encrypt individual files in a portable way was nice. Plus, 'hidden partitions' was a 'really good thing' ( tm ) for the paranoid among us.

    One caveat i have found with default BSD full disk is you are screwed if you need to reboot and dont have console access... ( or your power cycles on you )
