You've got the give them credit for trying. At least one kid will convince his mom to buy him a new computer when he shows her the website.
At least their marketing dept is doing their job, right?
Even though I'm a poor college student, I'd still put some money toward this guy's efforts. Would others here be willing to help monetarily?
I think what he did takes guts, and I think that it's important that we have people like this to make sure we aren't killed when we're already paying out the ear for overpriced airline tickets.
In HS all your course material is spoon fed to you by the teacher. It's nothing more than taking notes and then memorizing them in time for the test.
Engineering is different. You have to teach yourself. That's the point of engineering. The teacher, from my experience, is there to guide you when you have issues, but they certinly do not spoon feed you the material in the way that it was done in HS.
As an engineering, you have to be smart enough to figure it out on your own, because in the real world, there is never anyone to spoon feed anything to you. Most of the time, engineers have to do stuff that hasn't been done before, and thus, they have to figure stuff out themselves.
If someone liked how things were in HS, then they should stick to liberal arts.
I have a feeling that we're going to be saying how much we miss incandescent bulbs in a few years when LED's start to become more common in household lighting.
I was reading about this in a magazine the other day and thought the following: this idea is both good and bad.
The good part of it is that it stops animals from suffering just to feed humans. It allows large amounts of meat to be produced from a few animals, which don't even have to die. Additionally, it could help solve the problem of poor people being hungry. If the technology could be developed in such a way that it can be used in remote areas, then much of the world's hunger problems would go away.
The bad parts of the technology could be that diseases could spread fast. If the industry becomes unregulated, then could be possible for cheaper companies to cut costs and use lower grade meats "seeds" which could be diseased. Additionally, I don't think that the meat would taste the same. The fact that the muscles are worked when in use by the animal, I think, would contribute to the taste of the meat.
Overall I think this is a good technology, and there are more uses for it than I think they realize. One great thing about it is that it could help feed lots of hungry people without using huge amounts of already scarce grazing land. I'm a bit skeptical about it, but if it works, then I'm all for it. Especially if it tastes good:)
Sounds like it's missing something

sounds like even though this book gives a good idea of how to do certian things, there's a lot of little, yet very useful tips and tricks that it leaves out
How does this have anything to do with the topic at hand? Personally I'm offened, as a Jew, and a reader of slashdot that you would use this topic to start on your own agenda.
Additionally, your arguement is totally faulty. If you weren't such an ignorant bigot, you might learn that the ONLY person who has ever been put to death in Israel was a Nazi war criminal. Other than him, there is no death penalty for any crime in Israel.
Also, who all looks alike?
Go find a soapbox somewhere else.

this is actually really cool to experience. I'm looking forward to when this kind of thing is available for the rest of us. also the website sucks.
