And all articles ITWBennett submits are from IT World. Neither of these users is anywhere near a top submitter by percentage. Not even close.
For some reason Flash seems to be the default, but I can watch
So laser-print it with metal. Might not be ultra-strong, but way better than plastic. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What Bruce said. Not everything needs to have a practical application to be interesting. Some things are just fun.
That thing (made out of metal) would make one heck of a 'granny gear' for my recumbent trike, though.
"Slashvertisement - a fiction spawned in the brains of basement-dwellers who think that anyone who says anything nice about anything or anyone is getting paid to be positive."
Nope. All ads or "sponsored content" pieces on Slashdot are clearly identified. This piece is legit, and I clearly stated that this is just one of many companies in the energy-saving businesses. Clouden's company is close to me and I first heard about it from a satisfied customer, but at no point did I (or he) say his company was better than others in the same business. In fact, let me repeat: If you're going to buy any kind of energy-saving services, you'd better shop around -- just like Smokey Robinson's momma told him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Without discussion of lease terms, length, and end of lease requirements, you really can't determine if there is anything to be saved...
Yep. You'd better shop around.
I believe Pat's company does lease to own deals. A lot of them do. That should be a big factor in selecting a vendor for that kind of lease program.
You submitted those stories, right? Anyway, looking through your comment history, you love to be negative. You should thank us for giving you something else to complain about. Also, if I was in a bad mood I might point out that 1 article + 1 article = 2, and "fawning" is a bit over the top. But hey! You're the one who knows more than the rest of us, so I won't question anything you say.
You are probablyright about the "10,000" cars thing being unrealistic, but let's look at it in context:
"The initial plan is for DM to scale up to an annual production of 10,000 of these limited supercars, making them available to potential customers. This isn’t all though, as DM doesn’t merely plan on just being satisfied by manufacturing cars via this method. They plan on making the technology available to others as well."
That 3DPrint.com article wasn't nearly as good as it would have been if you had written it, but you might want to be a little kinder to your inferiors. Czinger and Balzer have consistently talked about cars being just one type of manufacturing for which their process can be used. And it's not all about 3-D printing. Really.
Okay - time to go upload some howto videos.
Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the 3-D printers bite!
