After reading the second article, I'm not sure. I didn't read in detail, but they did some experiments with a pump. I'm not sure if it's required, but that is how they did it to research it.
C&C = Command And Conquer, CNC = Computer Numerically Controlled. Hate to be a grammar nazi, but that one really bugged me... lol.
With that out of the way... technically, a 3D printer is a CNC machine. It is not a lathe, mill, press, etc, but it is still CNC. Material removal machines have the drawback of requiring some sort of line of sight access to features you're trying to cut, whereas a 3D printer can just go layer by layer and fill in the parts.
You, sir, are a grade A asshole. I'm not sure what you found so offensive about my post. Quite simply, even if you plan to circumvent it, you're still choosing to buy it. They win. They still got your money, they could give two fucks if you want to go through all that. And at the days end, most manufacturers will double fuck you by looking for ways to undo your circumvention if you're not careful.
I guess I shouldn't call you an asshole, you just detailed circumvention, then followed it up with saying anyone who buys it is a loser.:P Calm down and try to enjoy life for a minute. It's not the end of the world you know.
Since you're not into this 'loser talk,' might I ask what you plan to do? It's interesting that you think just because you are a consumer, you can tell manufacturers what to build.
THEY do the design. THEY do the build. THEY sell it. YOU choose to buy it, or not. That's it.
Oh you kids and your fancy pencils. I took the liberty of stipping stranded copper wire, and painstakingly placing individual strands between pins inside the socket of an Athlon XP-M 2600+ to overclock it to 2.8GHz. And we liked it that way.
I'm big on being with someone I like, even if that means disregarding potential factors such as hair dictating the poor health of my offspring. Not everything is a science experiment you know. If I had a girl turn me down because my hair is short rather than long and therefore I must be hiding something, she is insane and needs a reality check anyway.
I did this with my samsung 20.1@1600x1200 (1200x1600 more accurately) near finals back in may. It helped a lot with studying out of ebooks and taking practice tests online. It makes gaming a little funky, but it's not hard to turn the monitor back for a frag session. Unfortunately I'm a fan of 4:3 monitors and it seems a 1600x1200 has become very expensive.:( Even the widescreens with a 1200 or greater vertical resolution are a tad pricey compared to the 1600x1200 price of a few years ago. What a shame...
of course existing GPU solutions in slots are MUCH easier to upgrade, which is something against this sort of solution, unless they come out with a form factor that combines Chip+Cooling solution (similar to the old Slot1/A)
You're not gonna believe this dude, but someone beat you to the idea of a slotted GPU. Sorry. =[
So true. In my car, I replaced the head unit with a model from Sony that doe stuff like... play CDs. The two biggest requests I had looking for it? The screen wasn't obnoxiously bright and blue so I can actually drive at night, and a big ass volume knob. Conveniently, it is at my fingertips reach when my hand is on the shifter, so looking down really isn't necessary.
Call me crazy, but I think a touchscreen radio/navigation system/TV/WTF system in my dash would be awfully distracting.
MS essentially walked into the marketplace because programming for the XBox was easy if the game had a Windows version. Ease of programming=more games and better games.
Ouch. Yes, I'd say you are correct and I agree with you. Unfortunately, this has also resulted in games being programmed for the Xbox then ported to Windows. This leaves you with clunky interfaces and bugs that are nearly unbelieveable. One good example of this is GTA4. Designed with the Xbox in mind, it's been hell for anyone trying to run it under Windows.
This isn't to say that there isn't hope. I'm just hoping developers will start paying some attention and realize that a console UI isn't fit for computers and the amount of bugs is just unacceptable.
Most people don't put an ethernet jack wherever they have a power connection,
Sorry to sound dumb, but... lol wut?
Call me crazy, but where the hell are you computing from? My computer has an ethernet cable and a power cable. Both are required for proper function and within inches of each other. Maybe you're thinking wireless, in which case...
Where the hell is your wireless router/switch/AP? Cause mine has ethernet and power, both of which are required. Any chance you could clarify on the lack of power in your house? Haha. =]
My car does the same thing, but with oil. I was thinking that maybe because this water is 'created' from nothing and my car's situation is close, maybe I'm driving a perpetual oil machine?
I was introduced to linux in July of 2000. Red Hat, I believe it was. I was quite the little boy at the age of 9, playing with dual booting with ME. I despised ME. Athlon 600 with 128MB of RAM, 3dFX Voodoo3 32MB AGP, Western Digital 20GB. AND it had a 2X CD recorder.
That was quite the upgrade from Windows 98. Pentium 200 with MMX overclocked to 233. 64MB RAM. Also a Voodoo3, but this one was PCI. 32X CD ROM, ~3GB HD. ISA Sound Blaster and 3COM network adapter.
Now is the 3.1GHz Phenom. 4GB RAM. 9800GT 512MB. X-Fi. DVD-R. I really do take it for granted.
TFA didn't point to a single thing about it that would lead me to want it, except for the state saving on shutdown, and I doubt seriously that's going to work.
Oh, it works all right. The rest of us called this 'Hibernate' and moved on with their lives. I'm not impressed by this 'Phantom OS' one bit. I call BS on just about the whole thing also. I know they're trying really hard to be smart and all... but really? Let's not reinvent the wheel.

If you believed your message, you'd have the balls not to post AC.
Wow... you admitted you were wrong and other people just start bashing you. Sorry I mentioned it in the first place... lol.

I'm not sure what you're saying. I use handbrake to rip DVDs to a playable MP4 format for my Xbox. There's a preset that says iPad, and I'm sure it can encode videos for the ipads capabilities just fine. http://lifehacker.com/#!5572037/handbrake-presets-for-your-new-ipad-or-iphone-4
Then leave. Nobody is making you stay.

Except maybe pretty girls in nothing riding bicycles. =P

Might I recommend the phrases:
Where's the pisser?
or...
Where's the shitter
They work rather well I think.

They put all the pins on the bottom in such a way that it fits into a modular slot on the motherboard and even comes with built in cooling. =]
Car guys aren't supposed to be here?
Ah well. It's been fun. I guess this means I don't have to wipe the grease off my saitek anymore to come on slashdot. Peace. =P
Am I the only one that finds it a little odd that people are interested in purchasing items raided from tombs in the first place? O.o

This could be profitable...
I'm amazed you got through the lameness filter. However, if I had mod points, you could have them.
