If they take that damn ethanol out of my gas.

MPG and food savings would easily make up for it.

This will suck. Some blotchy metal will come out. This will just be a welder with a robotic arm.

Why not a real printing process, like powdered metal layed down and lasers? Or something.

You are mistaking cynicism for insecurity. I lived through this shit with the vinyl resurrection. Now I'm only waiting for VHS tapes to get a following again but I guess the hipsters might go all the way back to the original reels.

This isn't about learning photography, for kids it's about being retro/hip/individual.

The fact that their pics come out like shit, under exposed, over, out of focus, etc will only add to it like paying extra for ripped, washed jeans or punk music played badly.

I'd take it if it gave me 2GB data (and after that a throttle, not cutoff), 100 mins talk, texts.

But unless it's cheap, I'm hesitant to buy a 1st or even 2nd gen smartphone from a new entrant into the market.

Even if they get everything perfect, apps just won't be there.

A few million? Try a few billion. Imagine the cleanup effort of this flying and pooping over your place:

One flock in 1866 in southern Ontario was described as being 1 mi (1.5 km) wide and 300 mi (500 km) long, took 14 hours to pass, and held in excess of 3.5 billion birds.

But the devices that allows everyone to use those devices came into being and became cheaper through the pursuit of profit.

Face it, a lot of people will say things like "Everyone should have clean water". But the idealistic goals are the ones that require the most effort where the less hardcore idealists become lazy and drop out.

Profit/capitalism is just someone putting their money where their mouth is, and allowing someone else to fulfill the drudge work for direct benefit. And yes, capitalism needs to be fully regulated so it isn't gamed into another system as individual successful players are wont to do.

Yeah, sure, use bitlocker as sourceforge says.... because MS totally doesn't open backdoors for the NSA that makes goatse jealous. *snort*

People can get a decent smartphone for under $80 here already, this one with no plan:

I've seen it under $70 just a while back but Walmart must cycle the prices every so often.

Sheriff Gayer?

Well, fuck, that explains it!

See the Milgram study and Stanford Prison experiment.

As long as people in charge say it's okay, most subordinates will perceive things as okay.

The virtuaboy was DOA because it was a 5lb monochrome (red/black) monstrosity that had to sit on a table, with barely 3D wireframe games, no tracking, etc whose original creator never intended what was released to be the final product (besides, as seen, it was 2 decades too early for the tech out there.)

Oculus Rift weighs less than a pound and can be worn on the head. It will be bought by 3D shooter enthusiasts would would otherwise buy multiple video cards/monitors just for gaming. I assume it will have a microphone.

I really fail to see what the two have in common. If I were into 3D shooters, I would be saving up for such a system.

This is like claiming in January 2007 the iPhone will bust because of the Apple Newton.

That's why we have libel and slander laws.

I also think police and prosecutors should be held to libel and slander. When they raid a house and find a kitchen scale, they should not use biased terms such as "drug paraphernalia" that poisons the jury pool and reputation of the person they are investigating, in fact they and the prosecutor should not speak until trial and let it go there where the other side has an equal voice.

Also, the sex laws in place are ridiculous and need to be laxed.

But I don't recognize the right to be forgotten. I just don't. Too many pitfalls. It's not a right, just a wish.

This thinking if why America is in such incredible trouble right now, and it's how people are going to go into generational slavery soon.
