These services have been offered for at least a decade. I bought parts this way a couple months ago and paid like $20 or $30 a part. I can give the specific place, but try just googling for 3d printing service, rapid prototyping service and so on. The first search only brings up 2.7 million hits. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=3d+printing+services&btnG=Google+Search
She doesn't have the physical room for desktops off by themselves and she does too many class activities to give the desks over to anything permanent. But if you ever want to get rid of laptops, no matter how old and dirty, we'd be willing to pay shipping (probably out of pocket, but that's the life of a teacher).
The computer lab and the school laptops (a cart with 30) is overbooked. She'd like to have a set in class. The rooms are very small (she has room for 3 desktops max) and her science class shouldn't be structured around computers anyway. But there are times, maybe once a week, where a cheapo laptop would work perfectly. Let them do a little research on their own (hey kids, let's learn about genetic mutations), maybe write up a summary, that sort of thing.
If my wife could buy a class set of 30 (maybe a few extras), she'd be more than happy to have these for her 6th grade students. A couple of candy bar sales would do it. All they need them for is simple research on the web and basic word processing. Anything else (audio, able to show video, etc) is great, but not needed. And at $130, when one is lost (and technology in student hands always dies or gets stolen), she won't have to call in the national guard.
Crappy machines? Yes! Almost a plus in this case. So they fit a need. My guess is she's no the only with the need.
Apple market cap ~$140 billion MS market cap ~$240 billion right or wrong, the guy who can turn Apple into MS will be hailed as a hero by shareholders. Well, Apple's at least.
Why aren't evaporative coolers still being installed there? Australia would seem ideal. I miss living where we had them (they don't work here in the Midwest). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooling
Rock-paper-scissors is ruined if you can predict rock. Neither player will ever use it, so no one will use paper either. You'll be left doing scissors over and over forever.
Hmmm, gives me an idea for a product: Figure out how to cram 3 notebook drives into a 3.5 form factor. A bit of circuit wizardry to make it look and act like a regular SATA drive for the main controller, but have it run as a RAID 5 internally. Yes, that will do nicely. More expensive, weird, but added reliability. A fine niche product. By version 2 or 3, it might even work. The real money would be when a drive dies and they send it in for "recovery service"
It's a general principle that you can't prosecute someone (or a company) for actions prior to them being made illegal. So you wouldn't be able to retroactively remove immunity. There is a similar situation when prosecutors cut deals with defendants. You can't undo immunity willy nilly.
Reminds me of an energy saving idea I submitted once. Management launched an initiative to have people come up with ways to save energy. My idea was to shut off power and HVAC for a week in the executive wing each time management launched an initiative.
Since we're talking politicians and shock collars, how about they get shocked every time they open their mouths. Should eventually improve the signal to noise ratio.
It's still the web. So you're receiving something a little more sophisticated than just text and gif images. Big deal. No need to get excited and try to invent new terminology. As for clients not evolving fast enough. Uh, welcome to the real world where not everything conforms to your view of perfection.
Since this is an article with somebody complaining, that would seem to be prima facie evidence that it's still the same ol' web.
The story I heard long ago rejected the old story of him tapping on trees. Instead he bought his wood from local suppliers. To easily move and manage their inventory, the suppliers kept the logs floating in water (canals or lagoons, I forget). This surreptitiously altered the wood.

I've tried this and it works reasonably well. It's not really a spray, more of a protective barrier. But cheap and reliable: http://www.fetpak.com/whstore/main.pl/slist?5
Any plans for what to do as they convert to wind power? Or will power plants be kept as a source of heat with electricity as a brpãduct?

Just set the delivery date 10,000 years in the future.

Wait, oh, nevermind.

It will take a while, but 1.5TB will seem like nothing. But no one will need more than 640TB. Ever.

luckily I was using the word with a touch of sarcasm. My point was pretty much the same as yours: a dolled up the trollop is still a trollop.

All this experimenting is going to ruin traditional long pork.
Funny how they refer to it being a "roughly 9cm" sphere. All that effort to just say "screw it, call it 9cm and let's get out of here."
