Dang, and I thought it was bad when my teacher hucked an eraser at me.
When I was in school, I actually had a physics professor who brought in a.22-caliber rifle and fired it at a swinging metal pendulum, in order to demonstrate transfer of momentum. None of us in the class were prepared for this, and were somewhat alarmed when this batty old guy pulled the rifle out from behind his desk and started shooting. I think he retired after that semester.
Yep: These guys will do small SLS parts for $N, where N is in the mid-hundred range.
SLS is great for checking fit and function of your design; less useful for actual structural use. They (or other places) can however take an SLS part and form an RTV mold around it, from which they can cast urethane parts. For quantities less than 1000 pieces it's a lot more cost-effective than having an injection-molding tool made up.
I'm definitely an engineer, because the code I write gets loaded into flash memory on circuit boards I also designed! I figure I've got all the bases covered.
Only 9% feel there is anything wrong with their actions.
Note thechoice of words. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of people who download mp3's are well aware that what they are doing is illegal, but may not believe in their heart of hearts that it is actually wrong - there's a semantic difference implied at the very least.
I think it's safe to assume that the winner of the contest (as well as, perhaps, the first few runners-up) will very shortly find himself the recipient of multiple large DoD contracts for further research into autonomous robot tanks^H^H^H^H^Hvehicles.
Cards with cash on them? Imagine what you could do with a Beowulf cluster of those!;)
Actually not too impressive

Here, yet again, is another "WORLD'S SMALLEST WEBSERVER!!!1!!11" which is uses a SLIP connection to get to the outside world. Having actually implemented something like this myself, I can tell you that there's really nothing that challenging about such an undertaking anymore these days - the technique is well known and there are even books published on the subject which reveal some of the tricks, such as the use of precomputed TCP headers and the creation of a semi-crippled "stateless" stack which saves you a lot of code space and memory usage. I consider the SLIP connection a giant cheat, since you're leveraging the power of the (presumably) Linux box that's attached to the other end of the SLIP line and offloading onto it the difficulties of the actual "connecting to the Internet" part. The embedded webservers which really impress me are the ones that have a modem or RJ45 connection and can exist as network nodes in their own right; these are much more technically interesting and useful as actual real-world devices.
So, to me, this particular instance of the same thing from 1999 is basically a neat soldering job but nothing technically innovative in terms of embedded connectivity. But as art, it's pretty cool.;)
Presumably when they talk about "mining the moon" they are talking about going there to mine Helium 3. This is an isotope of helium which, if available in abundance, would be a perfect fuel for clean fusion power generation. Unfortunately it is very rare on Earth, but there's plenty on the moon.
As president of Ashdo Software Inc., I take software piracy very seriously. Recently, the sophisticated scanning software of the Business Software Alliance has detected that your website "www.slashdot.org" is most certainly hosting and distributing illegally-obtained copies of proprietary Ashdo programs. You are hereby ordered to cease and desist the above activities, which I'm sure are also in violation of the DMCA in some way or another.

What, AOL is going to start battling Spider-Man as well now?

Okay, so does this law make dialing *67 before you make a call (thus blocking the recipient from seeing your number on their called ID box) illegal?
Just look at the guy's photo - it's obvious what he really wants to do is sell you out to the Agents so he can be reinserted into the Matrix.
...In the meantime, Microsoft suggests you refrain from running programs which use memory. Thank you for your patience.

GPS is absolutely approved for navigational use by the FAA. That's why approach- and enroute-certified GPS receivers have been around for many years.

2) ???
3) Get supported by your family.
4) Profit!

As opposed to just the sites where the stories are hosted?
I predict this service will fail. After all, who would possibly be interested in listening to music broadcast via "radio waves" ?

Can't anyone post to Slashdot these days without spreading around more FUDD?
I'll say they have! By this time next year they should be nearly finished with their program to eliminate all of the above.
