About the only thing I can think of that a 3D printer would be useful for would be to replace a little leg that you might break off of your keyboard. Or maybe even make one that's higher than the original. But 3k for a printer or $30 for a new keyboard? I'm voting for the new keyboard.

5 loonies = 1 Spock? Kewl!

Well, I'm 68 and I got it all down. Just don't know where the hell I put it. :/

Seagate does have a few flavors of drives. Barracuda is still their most reliable "basic" drive.

Once upon a time we bought software. Now we can only license it. (Unless it's Adobe. In their case we can only rent it.) I'm sure the car manufacturers will figure out a way to screw everyone over the same way.

And therein lies the problem. Politics. Makes skeptics of everyone.

I guess you've never watched a political speech first and then went to fox to see what they do to it. Quite often going off in a tangent about something that was never even in the speech. If you want to head to fox first, fine. But do yourself a favor and then go to youtube and watch it "uncensored". They're usually posted there a while later.

Remember, fux is NOT an American company. The owner (Rupert Murdoch) is out for the money. Sensationalism is how he sells news world wide.

But the main problem with all media today... they all have an opinion. Years ago if a journalist had an opinion on air... he'd get fired. Today, if it creates controversy, he gets a raise.

It can only get into carbon if it doesn't make too much helium. If it makes too much... it will float away! :::gasp:::

Nice try barry but... no cigar. The only people who care about spying on foreign countries (friend OR foe) are the foreign countries. Who likely all do it themselves anyway. Spying on your own people reeks of Stalin and Hitler. (the list goes on)

Using a court order? No problem since you'd have to introduce reason. Just for the hell of it? Might as well just burn the constitution.

Yeah, dunno why but I still can't watch it. Turn my head every time it comes on. Just thinking there are pieces of people up there. :(

If you think it only does image editing... you don't know photoshop.

That would be ...drum roll... number two.

Quite debatable. The user doesn't have to spend a gazillion dollars upgrading progs to the latest and greatest. In fact, doesn't have to find a new program to replace the one that works well but doesn't exist anymore.

Actually I'm running win8 pro 64 and do run dos progs. And I mean LITERALLY old pre-windows dos based progs. The old workhorse nutplus database works just fine. Many old games run well too. Of course, on the other hand, it's kinda brutal to stare at the ancient graphics. :)

Now, I'm not saying everything works. But the vast majority do. I think most of the problems with 16 vs 64 bit came from hardware that the vendors refused to update drivers for. A lot of scanners hit the trash pile over it.
