So write the software. Nobody is stopping you.

Brackets for motorcycle restoration. Custom pieces for a set of RGB LED steampunk goggles that I made for a customer that paid for 1/2 the price of my 3d printer.

Stupid crap like a light switch wall plate, at a cost of $5.00 in filiment to replace a $0.49 wall plate.

Made a very cool key hider that allows me to hide a spare key on the car that no thief can find unless they know exactly where to look and even then it's still hard to find.

A huge portion of that "welfare" goes to filthy rich people via the corperate welfare crap you republicans love.

Sorry no company in the USA deserves any federal grants, handouts or Tax advantages. Pay full taxes like the rest of us.

I have a solution. Nasa always get's 50% of the military budget. Nobody in Congress can make any adjustment to it without a 100% vote in both house and senate as well as President. Plus no politician direction. They have ZERO SAY in the operations. They can suggest.

That way NASA has enough funding and the fat idiots in Washington cant tell them what to do.

Crusades are easy, that would be a response to 100 years of Muslim rape, slaughter, and forced conversion in Spain.

Aside from the fact that Christians did exactly the same when they reconquered the Iberian peninsula, and aside from the fact that in that time Muslim societies were far more liberal than any Christian society (Jews usually fled to Muslim countries from Christian countries), would you mind explaining why no bloody crusade ever went west to Spain, but all East to Jerusalem?

The crusades were the product of a fanatical Christian society, with the motivation of paradise for the soldiers and spoils of war for the commanders. They sacked, plundered, raped anything between Europe and Jerusalem, and that includes Costantinople that at the time was Christian. Which was expected of any serious army at that time. The pretext for war was the "liberation" of Jerusalem, and the real drive was a combination of poverty, ignorance, greed and religion. So the crusades were pretty much the ISIS of the second millenium.

Do read up some history lest you spout more of such nonsense.

With as cheap as you can get memory these days why doesn't someone put 16 or 32 GB on the same board and a way to TFTP boot and stop making me deal with SD cards.

Seagate tanked my ZFS pools as well.

It takes a special kind of terrible hard drive to trip up ZFS. I'm glad I didn't have any of them by themselves or even in a hardware RAID-1

I decided to build a NAS, so I got 5-2TB (raidz2) drives and 4-3TB (raidz) drives.

Out of the original lot there are still 4 drives running. All but 2 got replaced under the warranty. Out of the ones that got replaced only 1 is still running.

I've sinced switched back to WD. (I went to seagate back in the 200 GB days... my 200 GB seagate still runs).

It's terrible. Seagate has cost me a large chunk of money and time for what (I thought) would be a bullet proof home NAS.

Actually yes, interfering with police business by photographing them or videotaping them IS THE ANSWER.

Because if you freak out with someone videotaping you from tens of feet away, you are mentally unstable and need to be documented. Cops more so as they are armed and dangerous.

It's because Fords programmers are morons. They refuse to hire real UI designers that have a clue about automotive design and operation.

" Nothing worse than driving a ten year old car with outdated technology,"

Correction.. Nothing worse than driving a ten year old car with outdated technology, that started out with crap technology.

10 year old BMW X3 base model... The tech in this thing is still 3 years ahead of anything in a 2015 ford/gm/chrysler.

Will never EVER happen. Comcast (and other cable companies) will not upgrade bandwidth unless someone holds a gun to their head after being beaten bloody.

Only losers have 4K... 8K is the way to go!

Sadly you cant get 4K content yet, Although a 50 inch 8K display on my desk would be a wonderful thing for my work computer.

Someone needs to organize a flash mob of people just showing up and recording police in public all over the city.

Force those thugs they call police to behave.

Video editing, Photoshop, system administration, Accounting (spreadsheets are WIDE as they are TALL, so there's an argument for Square monitors)

I can fin a lot of reasons that landscape is more useful. How about monitors not sucking and have the ability to rotate easily when needed AND have the polarizer wide enough that you dont get the wierd visual effects when you turn an LCD sideways.... I.E. cheap and crap monitors from AOC and LG.

my portable USB AOC monitor is useless when in portrait.. it has just enough of a contrast difference between my left and right eye in that mode to be distracting as hell.
