I wonder how long it will take for this to be banned. Is this unregulated 3D printing or are projects approved by the owners of the device? Imagine a student printing out dorm keys to steal computers. One of them already tried to print a gun. This would only be preventable if the items to be printed are being approved by a human being or an insanely accurate 'safety' algorithm. But at what point does that become a privacy concern? Then the data on what we're 3d printing will be farmed out to the big corporations!

As a food service worker though, it' not my job to prime someone else' personal immune system. It's my responsibility to make sure my equipment is sanitary and that food is cooked and held at proper temperature.

People with compromised immune systems like to eat out too.

On a personal level I agree with you, I mean shit, I make sushi for a living and eat plenty of fun bacteria at the end of every shift and when I'm at home I'm happy to just wipe down the sink with soap and water once in a while but when I'm working it's not my job to strengthen people's immune systems, It's to serve them safe food, that's what they expect and that's what they are paying for.

You clearly didn't read the post. They are cleaning serving spoons WHILE I am cleaning chicken. I am the one cleaning up the mess with soap and bleach. They could take their spoon to the sink that's actually meant for washing dishes but it's too far for them. I'm not worried about my coworkers succumbing to salmonella. I'm worried that they're serving salmonella to customers via contaminated spoons. People can take they're responsibility as a food service worker seriously or they can be lazy.

The chicken is rinsed with cold water before it's bagged, this is done with a 'sprayer' that I grab while my gloved hands are covered in raw chicken. My coworkers know I've been grabbing this sprayer with my chicken covered hands but they will just grab it anyway. If they bothered to take 5 seconds to grab a bleach towel to sanitize the handle it wouldn't bother me but they ARE getting bacteria on their hands. Sorry I should have made it clear it was a sprayer / handle that I have to use while cleaning the chicken.

At the new job I started I have been appalled by what appears to be a lack of understanding by my coworkers that whatever you touch spreads germs from that place on whatever else you might touch. Specifically the problem I see is chicken. I'll be cleaning chicken in the sink and someone will come over and turn on the faucet that's been around raw chicken, rinse off a spoon and then go right back to serving food with said spoon. Hello?! Are you fucking stupid? Do you not get that now not only have you contaminated your hand but also the spoon that your hand is holding on to! It drives me fucking crazy. My boss tells me I need to hurry up when cleaning up the sink after cleaning chicken because no one else thinks it's important to both scrub it down with soap AND bleach. It's like everyone else just picks one or the other. What the fuck. I swear some people have no concept of bacteria, as if germs are little people to them like in the fucking mucinex commercials or something. I wouldn't say I'm neat or messy. I'm just sanitary.

Ordered pairs of molecules at the waters edge and regular 'bulk water' create a 'battery' that produces measurable current. I could try to explain it all here but my understanding of the concept isn't perfect and this UW Professor does a much better job explaining it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVBEwn6iWOo

People set up their cold energy producers in a fashion similar to this and get measurable current and then think they've found cold fusion. Other people cant reproduce the results because until recently it's been seriously misunderstood what's happening to create this measurable energy.

I believe the summary says they paid off all the potential interest as well. Unless they meant they only paid off the 2 and a half years of interest already accumulated. Can anyone clarify?

Find a real world problem you can solve. Program an arduino to wipe your ass or something. Just find that problem and then write your own software to fix it. You'll have to keep your current job for a while while you start but if you can write a piece of software that is well received you can start selling licenses for it. Write an app for android phones and price it at 99 cents. Keep writing apps and build up that passive income. It's an uphill battle but at your age why not move towards working for yourself on your own terms? Your retirement time isn't far off.

I'm reading all these comments about centurylink DSL sucking and frequent disconnects. I've never had a bad experience with them. Never once had to call about a problem and never once been disconnected. I'm wondering where you're located? If you can only get 1.5 Mbs you're probably out at the end of the loop.

This is good news. Centurylink really needed this contract right now.

After acquiring Qwest (formerly USWest) they found themselves with a lot of cable but not quite the subscription levels they needed to maintain their cash flow. At the time Qwest was also recovering from when their CEO Joseph Nacchio was caught cooking the books / insider trading.

The Centurylink union workers' contracts have been being extended daily and weekly since they are up for renegotiating. This process has been going slow and there have been talks of strikes. Hopefully this 3/4 billion dollar contract will give the telecommunications union employees some room to breath and the contracts will be finalized without any cuts to their healthcare coverage (reportedly the main thing up on the chopping block.)

I am an American and regardless of policy I have never once perceived the U.K. as socialist. I was raised being told that the U.K. was our powerful ally and friend in the fight against Nazis and Communists. Our country is pretty fucking big and diverse and I don't speak for all regions and people here but I would venture to say that my classmates also did not perceive the U.K. as being socialist. I wonder which Americans you've been talking to. I'd like to give them a piece of my mind but it would probably fall on deaf ears as my countrymen have proved over and over again that once they've made up their mind about something it can't be changed.

You laugh and say 'dream on' but when they implement the ability to look in one direction and aim in another (imagine shooting over your shoulder when you hear someone behind you) you'll be at a disadvantage sitting on your ass with your aim limited by where you're looking.

Is the guy in the demonstration aiming with the gun in his hands or aiming with his eyes? It's hard to tell exactly but it looks like at this level the gun plays little roll in the apparatus other then a nifty trigger device.

Traditionally looking and aiming have been synonymous since Quake (looking up and down wasn't introduced in Doom) but now for this kind of equipment they'll need a way to track the place the weapon is aiming independently from the where the eyes are looking (imagine putting the gun over your shoulder to shoot someone behind you when you hear their footsteps.)

Does anyone know if it's possible to do this by only modifying the client side code? I would think part of valve's anti-cheat stuff includes checks / balances to make sure the player is actually facing the place he's shooting.

Players who are able to do this will have a distinct advantage over players who are just sitting around in their chairs having their aim limited by their field of view. In fact, it would probably 'win the war' so to speak...

I dated a Japanese girl for a year. She loved Japanese magazines because they always came with free crap. When was the last time you got a magazine wrapped up with a free pair of pantyhose? A free USB flash drive? Hats? The novelty doesn't wear off easy because the magazines are always outdoing themselves on the quality of stuff they are giving away (it's also why paying full retail is usually in the 10 - 14 dollar range when you buy them in America.) I know not all magazines do this but the popular ones among women do.
