You can *export your work*. No one is going to author in the iBooks platform. They'll import their products first. But I agree Apple's EULA is still too much. If Apple rejects your submission, whatever time you spent constructing your book is wasted. That can't be legal.
Why can't it be legal? You can spend years toiling away at your electronic magnum opus only to have every other publisher reject your work. Apple is no different. Just because they give you a free bit of software to make the project does not require them to publish it. The US Constitution says nothing about guaranteed publishing rights on a specific platform.
That could well be true, however, why do you need a state law saying municipalities CAN'T do broadband (or whatever)? What Georgia needs is home rule legislation. Keep the state government out of things the local government can and should do.
As has been pointed out, it's rather unlikely that the legislation has been crafted 'in the best interests' of the cities. Who's the winner here?
No, you're not going to 'print' much. Sure, you can go to any moderately well staffed metal shop and have them copy a frame design, then go to a sheet metal shop and fabricate the body panels, likely use an off the shelf transmission package, then program all of the electronics you bought from Bosch.
Then use your plastic printer to make the cupholders inside.....
send CAD file to CNC company instead of 3d printer $$$$$ for 4 cylinder engine block
profit?
people hail these 3D printers as something new. CNC lathes and milling machines have been doing this for decades. its just the materal is diffrent. you DO know you can send a cad/3d model to a company and they will make parts for you out of plastic/stainless/titanium, without inventing the words "3d printer"
Unfortunately, the mental jump between 'cheap plastic printer' and 'Star Trek Replicator' gets a little entangled here in the cubits of Slashdot.
If they saw it on TV once when they were 16, it had to be real, right?
It seems we are seeing a lot more of these extraordinary claims and studies become challenged recently ranging from cancer research to climate change denialists skirting the peer review process:
Only because the general media has hit on this as 'newsworthy'. While it certainly is more interesting that the Newt's latest philosophical, historical and / or moral transgression, being wrong is is one of the occupational hazards of science and as science is conducted by humans, it tends to have all of the other warts and problems inherent human endeavors.
Read up on the history of science. Today's behaviors are SOP.
It may have been a technical error, but if true, would have made an enormous dent in DNA science. Like Nobel Prize type dents. It was plausible although not likely. It piqued other researchers interest (what it should have done) and some researchers are tracking this down.
So, science worked exactly as it supposed to. Ego got shot down a bit. People got their mental landscapes moved around a bit. Some scientists at NASA might be starting to think out how you would test for the possibility of a non standard backbone on DNA (or whatever you would call it). Electrons get scattered about.
True, but you do that at your peril. Even scientists can be passive aggressive. The bug they found is now being called GFAJ-1 (Give Felisa A Job, Felisa Simon-Wolfe being one the scientists in the original article who has been less than open about the controversy). That's going to be tough to live down. Biologists love to have critters named after themselves, but not quite in this fashion.
At least in OS X, the major hit for indexing happens when you create the drive or add thousands of files. Otherwise it just sits in the background and (usually) behaves. On modern hardware this shouldn't be a big issue.
Man, that sounds like a horrible job. You mean that you had to look at the Fisher-Price color scheme for XP for years? It's a wonder that you're not stark raving mad.
The big problem with the original researchers was two fold - first, it was very preliminary. They had an unusual hypothesis (the bug, sorry, the bacterium) used arsenic in place of phosphate for the DNA 'backbone'. That's so unusual that it falls into the 'extraordinary evidence' category.
But they didn't do that - they performed some basic microbiology and some even more basic biochemistry. There were hundreds of other potential experiments that they just ignored, even though they were pretty mainstream and could likely have gotten some grad student to at least to the preliminary ones. Pretty much anyone who has done DNA chemistry would look at the paper and ask why the team didn't bother to do any one of a number of other experiments to tie the arsenic into the DNA. (The original paper basically suggested that since there was arsenic in the bug and the bugs grew where others could not because of the high arsenic and low phosphate levels, the arsenic was being structurally incorporated into the DNA).
THEN they hyped it to no end - made it sound like the Second Coming of DNA. That was their big error (hubris). It was weird enough in itself to get other people to look at it. That's always a problem with 'new' ideas since most labs are busy doing things they think they're supposed to be doing and don't necessarily have the time (or money) to go chase down other little issues.
It seems like some PR idiot at NASA got wind of the research and tried to fly with it but it was really a stupid thing to do.
You aren't making a whole lot of sense here. You take a couple of statements, toss a few observations around, complain you don't 'get it' and you really think anyone is going to take you seriously? I'm sorry, this stuff is difficult. It isn't a couple of sound bites and a snarky comment. To understand it requires a fairly concerted effort to read and digest multidisciplinary topics.
So if you're serious, get out of Troll Mode and try to actually learn something.
That's what the ISS is there for. That's pretty much the only useful research it's doing.
And it appears that it is possible to stay in zero g for a year or two with only mild long term problems. I'd sign up (as would thousands here) even if there were more serious issues.
You say that now. I would be very suspicious of an industry-wide system tied to a single vendor. And I like Apple stuf but the fact that this is going to be an Apple only venue is very disturbing.
"Yes, I've altered the agreement. Pray I don't alter it any further."
A former co-worker of mine did something innocent that aroused a lot of suspicion at a checkpoint a few years ago, she left an unused round of ammunition in a bag (following a hunting trip) and the TSA detected it. She was unarmed and it was an honest mistake. After a long ordeal she was let go, but she claims to have been put on a list that basically guarantees additional screening every time she flies.
I wonder if Paul will be put on the troublemaker list?
Pics or it didn't happen. This happens to lots of people. Happened to my wife (my ammo, one round of.223 at the bottom of a duffel bag). They looked it at, looked at her, told her she couldn't keep it, threw it in a pile with a bunch of other things. Happens all of the time. She hasn't been hassled since. Maybe your friend shouldn't have been hunting with a.50 caliber BAR...
Oh, and Ron Paul (both of them) is/are on the troublemaker list. They are, after all, troublemakers. Don't rock the boat, especially when your sloshing around in water up to the gunwales.

Ah, the concept behind Peril Sensitive Sunglasses. Glad to see that nature figured it out first.

Is there a good place to start for someone just wanting to get into 3d printing? What is the cost of printer and material?
If I were you, I'd start with Google. Or Bing if you're one of those kinds of people.
Look the AK-47 has been made in countries that can barely keep a car running. You don't need a 3D printer. Just a basic metal shop.
3D printing is not the answer to most of the questions you guys are posing.
No, you're not going to 'print' much. Sure, you can go to any moderately well staffed metal shop and have them copy a frame design, then go to a sheet metal shop and fabricate the body panels, likely use an off the shelf transmission package, then program all of the electronics you bought from Bosch.

It's only one tiny little piece of the puzzle.

Hey, thanks. Just what I was looking for in OS X.
I'm going to have to tell my wife that hanging out on Slashdot isn't completely useless.

Horrible place filled with human scum.
No, that's Mos Eisley and it's on Tatooine.

Once again I will ask the tired question, "Why do actual humans need to ever go into space?"
Look at it this way, do you want really smart space faring robots sitting above us all of the time?
Do you really want to welcome our new robotic overlords?
Do you?
So shoot me....
You say that now. I would be very suspicious of an industry-wide system tied to a single vendor. And I like Apple stuf but the fact that this is going to be an Apple only venue is very disturbing.
"Yes, I've altered the agreement. Pray I don't alter it any further."
You have to give the TSA credit. In the few short years since their inception, they've managed to become more hated than Congress.
A feat even used car salesman can't achieve.
And just TRY to take the train to/from Hawaii.
To be fair, it would be about as on schedule as one from say, Chicago to LA.
No.
No, No, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!.
Standing up for your Rights is NOT "weird".
It's people like you who are contributing to the downfall of America.
Well, yes, it's certainly weird. It's not 'bad'. But it is unusual.

I think a NAT lease is when your home router boots up.
Are you kidding? That router is mine. I paid for it. Mine.
