GrowWise should be classified as drug paraphernalia. Great news! For the dope fiends. Just what we need. More potheads browning out the grid growing dope to sell to kids.

Europe exposed the backward Africans to modern civilization and industry. Europe deserves great praise.

Yes, Greece owes you. The Greeks lied and stabbed Europe in the back. Isn't it interesting and freighting that a society will destroy their own banking system to preserve pensions that pensioners did not earn? It is a sobering lesson for all western democracies that make such absurd promises to their citizens. The best thing for everyone is for the Greeks to walk away from their bonds, reissue the Drachma, and start anew. Greek travel will be a great deal. They can rebuild their economy on that basis. As for the pensioners. Enjoy your Drachmas. They won't be worth the paper they are printed on.

Yeah, sight. To who does the future belong? The chinks? The hispanics?

How complicated can you make a simple state machine? The implementation is completely misguided.

I love the British. I am American but I realize that the British invented our civilization, which is the greatest in world history, by far. God save the Queen!

The vast majority of slashdot users are not americans, the editors know and don't care.

I downloaded a Windows 10 preview from Microsoft last week, it works, sort of, feels slow and MobaXterm keeps launching new windows for some reason...

I have rocket parts raining down on the Atlantic. You should not speak ill of your next President.

But a good day for Lockmart and Boeing. It looks like Obama's activists, like Lori Garver and Charles Bolden, wrecked our space program, just like a lot of us said they would. SpaceX is finished.

The market will correct. Be ready for it. For the fools chasing high rents in Silicon Valley. I have no sympathy for you.

More socialist bullshit by the commies in our Labor Department. Nobody ever made money by taking time off.

That talented young lady is showing the dickhead queer oligarchs at Apple who's boss.

All I found was supposed summary of the interview. Given that Fried's attitudes about open hardware are at best schizophrenic, I'm not sure I trust her summary of the conversation. Fried is on record saying that "tools don't matter" -- so to her it doesn't matter if open hardware designs are only editable using proprietary tools, or even if the design files aren't released at all except as a pdf of the schematics. She is very, very short-sighted in that regard, but hey, it's a profitable form of short-sightedness.

As for Makerbot -- until proven otherwise it is best to assume they are beyond redemption. After all, they are owned by an aggressive patent-hoarder in the 3D printing space.
