Of course CNN is not reporting on it. They failed to cover the large raids for
illegal immigrants on the packing plants of a major U.S. meatpacker last month,
instead reporting on an elderly couple that died in an automobile accident in
North Carolina.
If you're getting your news only from CNN, you'll get an EXTREMELY BIASED view of american
news.
Where I work, we have a 3-D printer. It can't do things much larger than 10 x 10 x 10 inches. It can 'print' things you otherwise might need milling, lathes, extrusion, and welding for. The material is not terribly strong, however. But it works well for making models. Also, it 'prints' in color!
Learn good communication skills so others will think you are competent. Even if you aren't.
I've never assumed that the ability to give a good speech in any way corresponds to the person's ability to analyze and solve a problem. It
takes a bit longer to garner an appreciation for someone's analytical
abilities and problem solving intelligence.
My cat always seems to be hacking and sneezing. It must be allergic to just about everything. I
might have to get me one of these non-allergic types when the current one kicks off.
My mistake... that wasn't Oxford, it was Cambridge, and apparantly it was a bit longer than
two years ago when it was first developed. See post below, which links to Wikipedia article
about the Cambridge Process.
My apologies to all those with association to Cambridge University.
I'ld rather expect that titanium could be used for engine blocks, heads, and cylinders. That's where
you need high temperature strength. Engines could operate at higher temperatures, which would be more efficient, plus the vehicles would also be lighter because titanium is less dense than steel. This
also would make cars more efficient. Is there anybody here that can comment on this?
And it maintains it's strength at high temperatures. Steel tends to weaken quite a bit as it gets hot. This is why titanium is used in things like the turbine blades of jet engines, and the leading edges of supersonic aircraft.
About two years ago the folks at Oxford University developed a process for producing the metal from its common ore more cheaply that the process commonly in use. I think it's now being tested commercially at at least one company here in the U.S. I'ld bet that the MIT process is very similar to the one developed at Oxford.
Titanium oxide is commonly used as a white pigment for paints.
And you're now reading a post by someone who actually has seen the original ABC, not the reconstruction they've now got in the Com Sci. building. It was on display in the ISU Physics building until about 1976. It disappeared after that.
The resistance of the filiment in an incandescent light bulb increases as it gets hot. When the bulb is first turned on, it offers relatively low resistance. The large inrushing current when you first turn on the light causes the filiment to melt, thus burning out the bulb. The dimmer switch greatly reduces the burnout rate of light bulbs because the switch prevents the large inrush of current when the bulb is first turned on. It's not an inductive effect as another poster stated, however.

They put tags on cows' ears. Never seen a cow with a label sewed on, though. A real cow, that is.

So what you're saying is that most americans should find this acceptable?
So what do the other 98% of the eggs become, if not crabs?

Actually, programming a proper (dictionary order) sort for case sensitive is more difficult than
programming a case insensitive sort, but not by much.
The person seems to me to be a possible candidate for a Darwin award.
There's a reason there are safety fences around those machines.

You haven't been following the stock of Titanium metals have you? It's increased in price about 10x over the last two or three years.
And it maintains it's strength at high temperatures. Steel tends to weaken quite a bit as it gets hot.

You're obviously not very familiar with Iowa. There are plenty of other places that make ames look like NYC.

I'm cancer resistant! (Looks around for the women.)
Damn those power mirrors. They always start sticking after the warranty is up.
Heck, no need to write in every major language, just write it in Spanish.
This pyramid thingie would then probably be the tower of Babel.
Sorry, you're wrong.

Wow, no one mentioned that yet? You can sure tell this is Geekville.
I'm sure hundreds of millions of chinese would disagree with you.
