Well... if it could print one that is (say) 20% larger, then eventually you'd have one big enough to print a whole planet... perhaps at a fairly low resolution.
It's always fun when a 'disruptive technology' comes along and devalues all the research in similar fields. Assuming that this is what it claims to be, I wonder where 'moving parts' storage will be in 5 years?
Actually... the western hemisphere has too many fat kids (and adults). How about we ship them over to India to get them to run the hamster wheels? This would solve two problems!
What's even more ironic is that all the tree-hugging hippies I have known over the years, even those from Green Peace, have been Apple users!
An Australian radio station interviewed Al Gore while he was over here promoting his movie, and tried to make a big deal out of the fact that his movie was like a big advertisement for Apple, which seemed a bit hypocritical given recent environmental news, and also that he was on the board of directors. He brushed this off and responded that he was simply using the best computer available.
I was approached by a Greenpeace rep at a shopping center a few months ago, and they failed to convince me that their cause was a worthy one. I think the particular angle they were going on about was to try and prevent the building of any nuclear power plants in Australia (I may be misremembering though). Whatever the issue was, it was something I knew enough about to know that they were putting one hell of a lot of spin on it to try and further their cause.
The other thing that annoys me about them is when they claim to be conducting a peaceful protest. If you deliberately try and obstruct someone (eg putting yourself between a harpoon and a whale) then you are _not_ holding a peaceful protest, no matter how much you moan and carry on about nearly getting harpooned yourself. By all means protest if there is a cause you feel strongly about, but don't pretend you are taking the 'non-violent resistance' approach when you aren't.
I heard a radio interview with a previous member (and possibly founder?) of greenpeace who left the organisation fairly early on because they were becoming too impotent. The organisation that he then started (mainly focused I think on anti-whaling) makes no claims that their protests are non-violent, and they way he described their antics they obviously were focusing more on vigilante justice than protesting. I think I have a little more respect for that...
How about they designate an area where you are allowed to talk on your phone. I suggest on the wing, or on the ground.
In terms of coming down on one side or the other, if the airline gets a share of the phone revenue, I'll give you one guess as to which side they'll come down on...
What's really unfair though, is that if you bring a cell phone jammer onto an airoplane, _you_ would be the one to go to jail!
That was my first thought too... "But officer, you must see that I had no choice but to start hitting the equipment. The employees wouldn't stay still while I got a decent swing".
I for one welcome our hammer wielding little old overladies.
Obviously the whole '6 million dollar man' project would be shelved in todays world. There is far more money to be made by selling penis enhancements. Imagine the spam "Impress your woman with your gigantic bionic dong".
Of course... if there's a problem with it, do you go to a doctor or a mechanic?
Probably the exception that proves the rule, but I believe you can compile Bacula under MSVisualC, and MinGW (compile for Windows under Windows or Linux)
Also, all the Xen 'public' headers I have used so far under Windows compile under the WDK provided compiler with about two extra #defines required.
Yes, but one day that intelligent designer is going to come down from the heavens, and instead of another 40 day and 40 night flood there is going to be a huge patent lawsuit on all the things we've copied from nature. No amount of rainbows is going to fix that mess!
BUT THEN PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY ALL THE TIME WHEN THEY WANT TO SHOUT. SURELY THAT IS GOING TO BE BAD FOR YOUR HANDS!!!
Truth be told, I almost never use the caps lock key... in fact I typed the above sentence by holding down the left shift key. Come to think of it, the caps lock key is the one thing that really pisses me off in vi! I accidently press it occasionally and end up with a whole load of lines joined together when I try and move the cursor around (yes I use hjkl as the cursor keys in vi... the arrow keys are just too far away:)
That was my first thought too... maybe he was killed because he was moving in on someone else's turf, or because someone wanted to move in on his. People selling drugs don't often get murdered simply because someone didn't like them selling drugs, they get murdered because they were damaging someone else's drug selling business...
Why must you people continue making up new words... go and look up 'love' and 'girl' in the dictionary. I'm quite sure you won't find them there. And your use of the word 'date' makes no sense at all.
That's exactly right. The only problem it might cause them is they can't claim to be running an RFC2821 compliant mail server (for whatever that's worth), and as anyone who has ever implemented a spam filter would know, they aren't the only ones.
None of the customer mail servers I look after will accept more than about 50 recipients per message from internal users, let alone external users. Otherwise, I get too many calls from customers complaining that their internet access is slow, only to find out that their marketing department have sent a 5MB attachment to 500 people again. This is made even worse by Exchange's default setting to try and send out 100 or so messages concurrently (so they all time out and retry). If you need to get any information out to that many people, especially large amounts of information, there are better ways of doing it.

You could actually have a thumb drive implanted in your thumb!

Are you sure? Show me the math...

Rubbish. I'm going to build one as soon as I figure out if that damn cat is alive or dead.
A Moebius strip constructed from a piece of tape of infinite length? I'd like to see that!

I use two characters for my passwords. Nobody will ever think of trying that!

Reminds me of trying to get my kids to do something when i'm too tired to get off the couch...

"1... 2... 3... 4... 4+1/2... 4+3/4.... 4+4/5".
Oh well... at least they're learning about fractions
That was my first thought too... "But officer, you must see that I had no choice but to start hitting the equipment. The employees wouldn't stay still while I got a decent swing".

It would also be awesome to have a device for people to detect if someone is trying to make a joke on slashdot.
Maybe you could browse in 'humour impaired' mode (or just 'really really tired' mode), where jokes could by highlighted for users benefit...

I like my keyboard stateless thankyouverymuch!
I've never heard it put so elegantly before!
Hmmm... 10 to 20 percent closer in 25 years... (gets out calculator)... that means that it will be here in 125 to 250 years!!!
I for one welcome our invading Orion Nebula overlords.
