Just add the dead hooker to a lot of photos, see, that's not a real dead hooker in my photo's, it's added with a computer, see, here is the president with the same dead hooker! Instead of trying to hide the proof, invalidate the proof.
Maybe they need something IP65? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code Or something visible in direct sunlight? Or something that needs to be handled by many people without breaking?
Sometimes the requirements are harsh environments. I can spot, in the corner of my eye, one very rigid, water tight, "visible in sunlight" "tablet", which is used in buses. I think just the screen costs more then your consumer grade stuff. Some thing are still made to last you know.
Might be related to your droid, my HTC Legend gets about a week of "idle" time. A bit less with CyanogenMod instead of the stock firmware (not sure why...)
Yes and no. It largely depends on the level of detail you want. I've been designing and printing a few props for DnD, which works great. Example: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11777 (I still need to upload a few others on Thingiverse)
I'm still tweaking my machine, but I think if you print slow and make a good design, you can make miniatures that work with some sanding and a layer of paint.
FYI: I got an ultimaker, my first print was done after 8 hours of receiving the kit. However, fast is relative, http://daid2.mine.nu/~daid/IMG_20110929_235158.small.jpeg this print took 3 hours (I was printing on slow speed, normally printing at double that speed, and experimenting with 4x speed)
It's an idea without real life knowledge. 3D printers are not quiet (not loud, but not quiet), and they need high quality components and quite a bit of tweaking.
I'm an owner of an Ultimaker 3D printer. So I kinda have an idea what I'm talking about.
The plastic used in other 3D printers is about 20-28 euro's per kg. These are material cost, and I don't think these prices are driven by 3D printer demands, as the reels look industrial.
If you want to see what people are using 3D printers for, take a look on http://www.thingiverse.com/ you'll find everything from toys to replacement parts for washing machines.
Then build one. There are many options out there, to name a few RepRap, Up!, MakerBot, Ultimaker.
I got an Ultimaker myself, which is a great machine. Expensive, but great. And 3D printing isn't as easy as marketing wants it to look. Seeing how flimsy this toy is build I don't think it will be fast, nor accurate. Which might be good, as I see no place for the plasic reel, so you cannot print large things. Also they say it's "safe", I see no doors that are kept shut while the extruder is hot. And a 200C extruder end is not safe. (I've burned myself a few times already)
Superheroes my ass. These people are not superheroes. Superheroes are people with special powers they use for good.
These guys are better then superheroes. They are real life heroes. They do good things, just to help people, and not because they have special powers, they do it without special powers! Calling them superheroes like they are from a comic book with special powers doesn't do them right.
When I played, we where calling the http://eve.wikia.com/wiki/Apocalypse "The golden banana", pun intended. Quite a few EVE ships look like sex toys...
Java JRE, so, disable it. I haven't found a single site that depends on it, the add-on seems to install by default (I just want the runtime, not the browser add-on...) and only use in the browser seems to be an attack vector.
And It's not a problem with the specs I think, it's the problem that the Java JRE is huge, and a single exploit in a single feature is a problem.
OpenGL works, it works great, it works wonderfully! (I hobby program games, not that I'm any good at it)
But, there are problems with OpenGL in the linux world, if it works then it's great. If you driver works that is. If I try 3D on this machine then I get random X.Org crashes and artifacts. It's just some simple intel videocard with minimal 3D options, but I don't think windows is plagued by the same problems.
http://www.computerland.nl/ has been selling machines without OS for years. They have a whole range of machines, just just 1 for the linux guys. They'll assume you pirate windows or install Linux. And they'll happily sell you windows if you ask for it. They also have shops in all parts of the Netherlands, so they are not just some small single location store.
I'm a happy owner of a personal 3D printer for the last week and a half. And they are nowhere near perfect yet (I wouldn't be able to print a convincing ATM front replacement) however, they cost electricity and raw quality plastic. So once you get that fusion reactor going, and manage to recycle plastic to the same quality (recycling degrades quality) then we'll be talking.
My bank fitted all ATM's with translucent green card slots, and a "idle" picture that shows "Do NOT insert card if slot does not match photo". Good luck on hiding your skimmer in something translucent.
Slashdot Mirror
...will have a field day with this. Please, someone keep him away from whatever _is_ left of the original Star Wars film!
How cool, now we can add JarJar to EP4-6. A good idea, me-sa thinks?
No, no, no. No need for that.

Guess Slashdot is falling for buzzwords like HTML5. Other then that, it's not special at all.
Port 443 I hope. You better run you web-ssh session over https instead of http.

But full miniatures would be hard. Maybe a dragon could be done: http://daid2.mine.nu/~daid/IMG_20110929_235158.small.jpeg (about 7cm in length)
Or if you are in to Warhammer 40k http://daid2.mine.nu/~daid/IMG_20111007_010722.small.jpeg (5cm long)
I'm still tweaking my machine, but I think if you print slow and make a good design, you can make miniatures that work with some sanding and a layer of paint.
Under 2k? DONE! (It will need assembly for that price)

It's not strange that you are not familiar with the bone-pattering of the octopus. Because they don't have bones.

I predict that, one day, the king of "most downloaded" torrents will be a 3D printer file for a bong.

I don't know where you live, but here all ATM's are in walls, so unless you print a whole building...

The gist of it: 3D capabilities of open source drivers still suck
No shit, did you really think a bunch of neckbeards on their mom's basements could do better than AMD (you know, the people who make the GPU)?
If you look at linux on other areas, yes. Yes, then I think the basement dwellers would do better.
