Maybe most Americans aren't qualified and are just a little too stupid to work in their facilities?

How's that for PR?

That's why you run the OS (like linux) on the Atom CPU and do your real time interfacing on the Quark CPU that's designed to run an RTOS.

Just like how the BeagleBone Black has an ARM CPU and a little PRU

by the way, if you need to do precise timing, you should probably be using a hardware timer. That way you can sleep the device or change the clock to save power instead of burning up power at full speed in a NOP.

It's not a 32-bit processor, it's 64-bit.

Well.. technically there is a 32-bit processor, but that's in addition to the dual core 64-bit processor.

Probably because it's a 500MHz, dual core 64bit CPU with another 100MHz 32bit CPU along side it with 1GB of RAM, not an 8bit MCU?

I'm not your research assistant. Google it yourself.

I doubt it has any safety features at all.

You forgot the Great Firewall of China.

Fundamental concepts, like books, that have been around since the dawn of civilisation are generally not patentable. Prior art or something.

Porn won't be the jackpot, for the same reason it wasn't for video calling.

You'd actually have to hire attractive people for your phone sex lines.

Crap, I got my 10^ and 2^ mixed up.
I'll go hide under a rock now.

First of all, no innocent person was convicted.
But more importantly, law enforcement is supposed to do one thing. Benefit society by making it a safer place for everyone.

Society does not benefit from quashing the conviction.
The law enforcement agency is not punished for their own crime.

If you want to live in a society where a guilty person is set free because of technicalities of how evidence was discovered, with no regard as to its credibility, go for it.

I would rather the judge in this case weighed up the facts and made a rational decision based only on those facts. If it turns out evidence was illegally collected, perhaps they should recommend the collector be prosecuted and leave it at that. Since none of the facts presented at the previous trial have changed, the jury's decision should still stand.

Don't tell that to Stratasys, 3D Systems or any of the other commercial 3D printer vendors

Stratasys sell printers that do 1000x800x500mm and 914x610x914mm
They can print in high impact ABS

VoxelJet have one that does 4x2x1m

Just because a Makerbot can't do it, doesn't mean commercial products can't.

What about the people who exploit bugs after they're been disclosed and fixed? They're people too!
If no one stayed on old unsupported software, that entire industry would collapse. Think of the job losses all over Romania, Russia and Nigeria.

We don't have enough atoms in the solar system to max out a 64bit address space.
You would need to consume an entire galaxy to build a RAM chip big enough.

But maybe I'm wrong...

You can already 3D print ABS plastic.

A rear spoiler on a front wheel drive car can help.
Most cars experience lift at the rear, due to the vacuum created as the body shape moves downwards at the rear.
It doesn't matter if you're in a front, rear or all wheel drive car, if the back wheel lose traction, it's bad news.

But you don't need to worry about that if you're driving on the high way, since you're not going fast enough to lift the rear off the road, or making sharp, high speed turns. So the ricer spoilers do nothing but increase drag, lower the efficiency and reduce acceleration.
