  1. Re:Bloody printer cartridges... on Cubify 3D Printers Aren't Just for Squares (Video) · · Score: 1

    I predict very soon those will be pirated or copied by FREE plans.

    What I want, is something that can scan any 3d object and make a file to print it.

    Clearly I need more caffeine.

    I meant to say:

    I take it you have never heard of lost wax casting?

    You print the item you want, you pack that in a material with a higher melting point than the desired material for the object, melt the end material and pour it in.

    This is how a lot of metal casting is/was done using wax as the model and sand as the form.

    Chrome needs better pugins. I love vimperator and it keeps me on firefox.
    The vim like plugins for chrome do not get rid of the url bar, no do any of them appear to be modal.

    I removed the dealer marks on one and had the other one done by the dealer.

    My next car I will probably properly debadge. I really do hate advertising.

    It would have to be gold or silver not both. Using both however does prove you wrong about the supposed stability in price.

    What I mean is for most animation you can get down to 100Kbps which is nothing these days.

    What in the world makes you think it would be designed well?

    Simple fact of life, the less clients you have the worse the design will be. This is because everything is one off.

    I would rather not advertise for those apple products. If apple would like to pay me to do that, they can contact me.

    Any idea how well h264 can compress animation. Check it out onetime. It can be tiny and still look very good.

  14. Re:"Experiment" on Google On-shores Manufacturing of the Nexus Q · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The real issue with this thing is it is too limited. Why does it not also act as a googletv?

    Then it could run onlive, netflix, google play, etc. You could also side load your own apps. Instead this is a streaming media player for way too much money.

    Why does it need a good amp? I have a receiver, that is where the good amp lives.

  15. Re:It *should* be part of the marketing on Google On-shores Manufacturing of the Nexus Q · · Score: 1

    I would like to, but I will not pay for the Q if I made it.

    I was hopeful that it would be an android computer for the living room, like a googletv but with more power. Instead it seems to be just for streaming music and video, stuff my HTPC handles just fine. An android computer would have been something I could replace the HTPC with, instead the Q only does a subset of what I want.

    The android browser can be set to start plugins on click instead of autorun. It has had this feature for a long time.

  17. Re:Industry failure on Adobe Stops Flash Player Support For Android · · Score: 2

    Setting the bar higher for authoring tools is a good thing. It will hopefully prevent another generation of animated, shiny and near devoid of text websites. Nothing like trying to find a restaurant menu when the website has clearly been done by the owners kid with a pirated copy of the Adobe suite.

    You must not go out to eat very often.

    Lots of restaurants still have their menus or even entire sites done in flash. I notice because I use Chrome on android which does not have flash and have to switch to firefox when I hit a site that depends on it.

    One that is still not yet fully replacing what flash did.

    How will amazon do video now? I doubt it will be HTML5, and even more likely it will not work unless you are running Windows or OSX.

    The feature was being allowed to have it if I wanted, not flash itself. I don't have it installed on my phone, but I do on my tablet. Amazon video for instance uses it. My fear is this will mean online video sites will start making their own apps that do not work on my linux desktops.

    He decided to kill it to prevent applications that did not use the iOS store from running on iPhone. It had nothing to do with flash sucking and everything to do with control of the platform.

    I imagine Adobe would suggest they use Edge, but you could use Animator, Sencha, Radi, or you could make your cartoon into a normal video and post that.

    Lots of ways to skin that cat.

    Was anyone denying it then?

    Jobs was no sage, Flash was known to be utter garbage for many years before he spouted off on the topic.

    He did not say those things because he meant them, they were said because if iOS ran flash then applications could have been used on it that were not vetted by Apple.

    Not only Google, but lots of other Mail servers also license ActiveSync.

    Blackberry should have licensed it 5 years ago, and made BES an alternative and easy add on for more features. Having it in BBOS 10 is a day late and a dollar short, it will not save them.

    I think he means you can't run software you want if it conflicts with the wishes of Apple or the Carriers. Also iOS is dumbed down in that it will not let you replace built in apps nor make major changes to the look and feel.

    MS has never done that and linux has proved that great software does not have to cost a lot. iOS has its advantages but none of them are as strong as you imply.
