Animals are always the guinea pigs (no pun intended). This is an amazing breakthrough. Surely it's not too long before we have prosthetic limbs for people!

And 15 years ago I bought a massive 2GB drive for $350.

Computer stuff gets cheaper over time. There's no reason the same won't be true for SSDs. At some point SSDs will be cheap enough that even if HDD are still 1/100th of the price, SSDs will still win because of all their other advantages.

Nope, it means you were lucky!

Anyone who contributes money to a Kickstarter project deserves what they get.

(And I have been sucked in the past, so I know how easy it is).

Wait until the product is on the shelf, and then buy it. If it's really that great, it will get made.

So you mean you were doing 80mph in a 45mph limit as well?

I'm not sure taking video of that and putting it on youtube is that good an idea.

Having anything placed under my skull in direct contact with my brain sounds a little invasive to me.

Honestly, I really love the Starts With a Bang blog, and have been reading it for years.

But I do have to wonder why every single post is announced on /. these days.

We already have RSS, we subscribe, we know about it. By the time /. has caught up I've already read it, usually 24 hours ago.

Is /. getting a paid for these posts? Inquiring minds want to know.

In communist North Korea, darkness finds you!

Drop your weapons. You have 20 seconds to comply.

This is a response to the claim that Gimp can't rotate by an arbitrary number of degrees.

That benchmark is old. OpenMP support for Clang was announced last week.

OpenBSD 10 hasn't been released yet, so it is premature to say that "BSD users are the loser here".

The fabathome.org 3D printer is open source, has been available for years, and can print a wide range of materials, including conductors. It's never really taken off, probably due to having lower resolution than the popular FDM printers that print with melted plastic. But if you want a home printer that can print objects with a range of materials, including conductors, check it out.

I'm paying $25 for a kilogram of 3D-printable ABS filament. A kilogram of gallium is probably close to $1000, based on prices I've seen on ebay.

There's nothing in that list (with the possible exception of "being forced to use a specific technology") that wouldn't apply to just about any worker.
