    Because you missed the "adapted for disabled drivers" and "wasn't the first time the speed dial jammed".

    Clearly not a stock Renault.

    Well, Amway Corp has been doing this *on a computer* for quite some time. And they have lawyers that *might* take exception to having their business processes patented by someone else...

  11. Re:drafting... on Air Force Lab Test Out "Aircraft Surfing" Technique To Save Fuel · · Score: 1

    It does work for boats. You can surf the stern wake.

      But you need to get fairly close, and control your speed carefully. Not worth the effort.

  13. Re:Just when I thought on Injured Bald Eagle Gets New 3-D Printed Beak · · Score: 2

    State of the art dentistry uses CAD/CAM. 3D imaging creates base model which is tweaked by dental technician then created in an automatic milling machine. Takes about 45 minutes and eliminates a second visit (think one round of anesthesia).

    Not sure that 3D printing could make anything nearly as strong as necessary for a tooth.

    Well, I know that it is uncommon on /. to actually RTFA, but:
    >>
    The lack of association with full-mouth X-rays led one expert to question the connection.

    "They found a small risk (from) a pair of bitewings, but not a full mouth series, which is multiple bitewings. That inconsistency is impossible to understand to me," said Dr. Alan Lurie, president of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology.
    >>
    So a small risk (increase from 15/10,000 to 22/10,000) caused by a pair of bitewings disappears when you do more?

    I don't think so...
