The things that 3D printers excel at are really anything close to Robotics. There's the OpenRC project which is a fully open source RC car, there's the InMoov which is a full upper torso of a humanoid robot (http://inmoov.blogspot.com/). They have a fully articulated GLaDoS ceiling robot. Tons of stuff like this. Also, almost anything you can do with a hobby laser cutter, you can extrude out to act like a laser cut piece of acrylic at whatever thickness you want and have it snap together just like something laser cut.

This is like people charging $100 for a porn movie. There will always be someone willing to provide it for free. It is a serious overstatement that advertising provides "free content" - the content will be there with or without advertisers because people enjoy the things they enjoy, and like to share it with others.

The same thing goes for smoke shops. Go in there and mention pot/weed/etc in any shape, fashion or form, and they'll kick you out right on the spot because the feds have pulled this trick on them quite often. His mistake was in not immediately stopping and ejecting the guy from his lessons.

Ever happen to be looking for a street in an unknown area, and you end up turning down your radio? This actually increases your visual acuity slightly even though many may question your sanity when doing it. Many blind people have increased auditory capacity, and this has been known for a very long time. It doesn't seem all that far fetched that one (or more) of those senses could override the other. Maybe that meal that you hate tastes absolutely amazing...but looks so terrible that you taste it differently.

" A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization. "

Yes, he is a factual shill...by definition.

He didn't publicly announce it. It was found out after years of him hiding it due to the lawsuit between Oracle and Google.

Nobody really cites him anymore as a legitimate resource ever since he was outed as an Oracle paid shill. His focus isn't so much on praising Apple as much as it is shining negative light on Google. Seeing as this has basically nothing to do with Google, he likely simply didn't have anything to say, because he's not getting paid to say it.

District 10.

That's because Microsoft is the one pushing this "antitrust" bit, hoping that it'll stick. They've been doing it for the past 2 years.

Just a heads up, if you buy that much lube, they don't arrive like the lube you'd buy in a tube. They come as a dry powder with mixing instructions....

Jenny, the doctors daughter (from an episode titled the same) is actually still out there. At the end of the episode, she regenerated and flew out into space for lots of running, etc. So there is a female time lord out among the stars.

until someone makes a Bitcoin farming botnet out of all these Ruby on Rails hosts?

I really kinda hoped they'd set up a .bit domain. I know, I know -- a lot of people are thinking "oh the bitcoin hype", but Namecoin is basically calculated off of bitcoin "for free", and it's meant to be a censorship-free domain name system. ThePirateBay needs to setup thepiratebay.bit and utilize namecoin as a censorship-free domain registration option.

You don't have to use metal powder sintering either. You can use PLA and lost-wax or investment casting. PLA burns out cleanly and you can cast metal parts with a 3D printed intermediate step.
