I don't know if Godaddy speculates under Domains By Proxy, but Domains By Proxy is what they also list any account that has enabled the "whois privacy" feature to mask their contact information. It's possible you were just a victim of bad luck.
Blame that on your phone maker. My Galaxy S4 running a Google Edition rom I can move the search bar where ever I want, or even remove it.
Anytime the Cisco account manager stopped by or called.
TMobile here is like that here in the US. Cheaper plan and if you want to finance your phone, you can split your phone up over up to 24 payments interest free with the option of early payoff.
That's the technical truth, although it is qualified. Judge Dale Kimball was the primary judge that heard the consolidated cases. There were 4 other earlier cases against RedHat, AutoZone, and DaimlerChrysler that were initially heard by other judges but didn't go anywhere in SCO's favor. There was at leats one magistrate judge I thought that dealt with some procedural and "lesser" matters on Kimball's behalf. There is also a federal bankruptcy judge and then this new judge. There's even more if you include appeals court judges that told SCO to STFU.
If the shit hit the fan at your domain registrar, your hosting may be useless anyways if you rely on that domain name as your business front. And if your hosting disappears, you'll have your backup that you can move to a new host. Right?...
Or...pay better attention to where your domains are expiring, especially if they are tied to a commercial venture.
No, it doesn't say it will replace injection molding. It says it combines it:
In theory, it could combine the flexibility of 3D printing with the speed and strength of old-school injection molding
FDM printing is very flexible since molds don't have to be made, but quite slow in the actual production due to slow speeds and layer by layer construction makes them not as strong. Injection molding is very inflexible due to molds having to be made, but once they are made, very fast in production and strong.
What this is, in theory is somewhere in between the two extremes. It prints much faster than FDM, but not as fast as injection molding. It's as flexible as loading a new file so almost anything is possible as quickly as you can design it without any expensive molds.
No, it's not going to be as fast as injection molding for creating a single tooth brush. But what if you wanted to custom mold a bunch with a dentist's name? Or maybe the technology expands and it can produce 100 or 1000 at a time so it expands better than injection molding. Or it's a very complex shape that's not conducive to injection molding.
A more real life example was my company wanted to make some flash drives in the shape of our product that has a distinctive wave on it. Quotes came back in the $3000 range just for the mold, and then individual costs of about a buck for the actual plastic. We needed about 250 of them. Even if it took a little longer and the cost was 10 more, we'd still be cheaper off with this type of a manufacturing technique.
For something for rapid prototyping, the printer is going to be a fraction of the cost to buy and to operate. The mold alone for an injection molder can easily be multi-thouands of dollars and that's for a relatively simple mold.
I can't comment on this printer but I've used other 3D and SLA printers. Maintenance consists occasionally replacing a build plate or reservoir if it should become damaged. Maybe a bit of water or cleaning solution and a rag to wipe it down, and a bit of lubricant for moving parts. Pretty much the same requirements that a hand operated injection molder would have, and far less than a mechanical injection molder.
The problems with making a 3D printed mold for used as an injection mold is that the 3d printed object won't withstand the pressure and heat that a machined mold would tolerate. It would be like asking to make an ice cube tray out of ice. There are 3D printed molds similar to lost wax or foam casting. 3D printed parts often aren't as smooth and polished as a machined mold to produce a very smooth final product.
How long did it take you to machine your mold? What was it's cost? What was the cost for the 2nd or 3rd mold when you had a design change and wanted to make another prototype?
It prints new money for most of what it spends.
The actual federal budget revenue for 2014 was $3.02t, expenditures $3.5t, and a deficit of $483b. Under which accounting system is $483b "most" of $3.5t?
If lasers can be improved to parity in damage, they will be immeasurably more useful when attached to something a like a naval nuke.
Finally naval warships will be able to attack and defend itself from the armadas of pickup trucks that might attack it on the high seas...
I don't think net neutrality is the issue with PS4 clients being locked out. The data can get from HBO to the customer's PS4. The PS4 can't authenticate that the customer is a subscriber of Comcast. Unless Comcast and HBO have terms as part of their agreement that say that Comcast needs to provide a mechanism for HBO to authenticate their PS4 customers, then it is a business decision between HBO and Comcast (and maybe possibly Sony a bit) to hammer out. Why should Comcast bend over backwards to the business needs of any and all of it's channel suppliers for any and every device that may want to be compatible without compensation...especially since there are clearly other ways to get HBO Go on Comcast's network (at least their portal and Ruku).
I agree it likely wouldn't make it out of Congress let alone past the President, but how do you figure it won't make it to the floor of at least the House?
