I hope Stereolithography takes off. I've run into a lot of the limitations (frustrations) of the FDM technology and it limits what you can really do with it. It's a really cool printer, but I'm not able to do everything I need to with it.
I think technologies like the SLA will work better in the long run because they will be able to print more detailed parts and you won't have the same issues that FDM does, such as overhangs, sharp angles, hollow objects, etc...
Back in the day when I was doing C++ work, I used a product called PC Lint (http://www.gimpel.com/html/pcl.htm) that did basically the same thing STACK does. Static Analysis of code to find errors such as referencing NULL pointers, buffer over flows, etc... Maybe they should teach History at MIT first...
Guys, guys... lets talk about something we can all agree on like Abortion or Religion... we know everyone here isn't going to agree on which language is best...
New Software does not make a new machine. Software simply changes the state that the existing machine is in, and only does so while it's running. The machine itself doesn't change. You turn the machine off, then back on, you're back at a known state. Run some software, the state changes.
I agree that $50/month will hardly cause professional organizations to bat an eyelash. We spends thousands on MSDN/Visual Studio licenses for developers every year, and it is just part of the cost of doing business.
Budgeting $50/month to keep design people current and fully licensed is easy.
In addition to that, it opens the door to a lot of customers that they would have never had before. As a small business, I can afford $50/month a lot easier then I can to plunk down $1,500 - $2, 500 at one time.
How is this "but with a different model from the manistream media companies"?
How is this:
Amazon, instead, has created 14 pilot shows, and is letting a cross section of customers in the U.S., UK, and Germany react to them to see which shows might be worth making more of.
different then this:
Every spring, traditional TV networks like ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox order dozens of pilots and show them to focus groups. Executives pick just a handful to make into series.
They both make pilots and show them to groups of people who provide feed back, and based on that feedback the people producing the TV shows decide which ones continue.
So again, how is Amazon doing it differently? Looks exactly the same to me.

The BETA testers of this system....
The better question is this:
Why is this information even stored in plain text and publicly accessible where it can be indexed in the first place?
GOTTTCHA!

Did anyone in Star Trek ever wear a watch?
I think people are looking to be Dick Tracy...
Maybe this is a 30 old dupe? This is /. after all...

No.
I just picked up two SSD Drives that have 5 year warranties. I also picked up two Segate HDD's that only have 2 year warranties.
Most HDD's are 1 - 3 years. I have several Segate drives that are 5 year also.
Maybe not the way you use it....
Maybe I'm waiting to break into your house, and I want to know where you are currently at so I don't get caught....
Yes they are. This story proves that.
Because it still has 2 years to go...

Unfortunately, he's not the only one who has forgotten that.
These days the minute you are accused of anything, you're automatically guilty.
Now I have to like Twitter :(
Unless they are able to discover Extension Cord Technology!
That would be Sega actually...

Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree.

In addition to that, what is it going to do with an already over stressed Air Traffic Control system?

Did you make it to Zapcon? (http://www.zapcon.com>)?
