To be fair my (badly constructed?) printer loses precision from vibration much before the stepers have any problem.

Also, all steps that it missed were due to electronic or software problems. Except when the software sent things beyhond the end of the printer, it never lost a step due to physical resistence.

Besides, the extruder is the one motor where if you lose a couple of steps, your project won't be ruined.

Wake me up when they get closed loop positioning for the other axys.

Neural networks are Turing complete analogic copmputers programmed by setting weights within it... Hash algorithms are programs that given an input return an output that is very similar to random, except for the fact that it's completely deterministic.

What kind of semelhance did you see between them?

In a Linux computer the button continues there, but there is a warning bellow it telling that the campaign only applies to Windows computers. When I click the button, it tries to download .exe file, Igot tempted to run it on Wine and see what it does, but setting a VM and etc is too much work :)

There is probably something in the .exe to tell them if you switch back. But I doubt they reclaim the credit, as that would break consumer laws.

And then people will have always less money to spend on always cheap products...

At the end, everybody will have their $NaN to live.

They brought it to kill MySQL.

Somehow they couldn't imagine that people would switch to MariaDB and PostgreSQL instead of Oracle...

Does this BS successfully stop piracy?

I'm pretty sure you'll find updated installation media for Win 8.1 if you search for torrents.

That suggests that simple life is *easy*.

Or that it's only possible on a new planet, or that it must come early for inteligent life to have a chance of developping, or that it happened by chance.

And what does Skynet do after it kills all humans?

Because they aren't possible?

Or, in other words, there is a wall.

becasue they have populated the other half of the galaxy?

And by a surprising coincidence, they are the only other life form on the galaxy, and they appeared excatly in sync with us? (Ok, half a million years earlier.) Yes, that's possible, but hard to accept.

becasue they don't need to grow that fast?

And spite in the face of Dawinian evolution. Why don't they have to follow the laws of Nature that we know to be valid all around the galaxy?

becasue they have all been wiped out be a variety of event. Specifically wiped out faster then they can be built?

That's the wall explanation again.

It would be everywhere, as a consequence of exponential growth.

Now, because they announced it beforehand, pundits will spend the next weeks complaining, loudly vociferously, obnoxiously, all the way until MS actually release it. Users will be as pissed of as in the other scenario, because despite the previous communication, they won't bother listening, and won't know about it anyway.

It's more like: If your neighbour's house is on fire, and you don't lend him this equipment. It's not really standing in the way.

It's not also the right thing to do, but the fire seemed much smaller by the time, and you were paranoid that people would steal your equipment.

it has to be done with real humans or we can't know if it will succeed

Maybe I can help with some rules of thumb:

1 - If there is no breathable athmosphere, it will not succeed.
2 - If you don't produce anything to eat, it will not succeed.
3 - If there is no local manufacturing, it will not succeed.
4 - If you can not keep a rabbit, dog, rat, or whatever alive, it will not succeed.

After you do all that, yes, maybe you'll have a reason to test it with people.

One thing you can't say about him - that he's slow to act on bugs...
