Give me BIND or give me... well, nothing. BIND of GTFO.
Domains and SSL certificates. It seems nobody can handle these things expiring until OMG IT'S HAPPENING TOMORROW!!!
I'd imagine that a good chance of getting away in a getting away car is behaving yourself in traffic, not drawing attention to yourself.
Knives and other cutting implements can be abused by criminals, don't include them in my kitchen!
Because computers are made of components with standardized interconnects. You don't replace parts of a board, you replace the board. If you know what you're doing, you can repair individual components... because those parts are standardized.
That is not the case everywhere else.
Cars don't seem to follow the same rules other things do.
End of story. (don't be an ass)
So, like VDI? Because that works SO WELL.
Because I already have a pseudonym I would prefer to continue using?
Sure. I don't care about Google knowing my name. I care about schmucks on Youtube knowing my name.
I won't be using it - not directly - but I'll allow my profile to have a Google+ "page" now that it doesn't want to have my name associated with it.
Sintered metal would be a lot more brittle than a cast or forged part, keep that in mind.
You could make a cast from ABS or the like, but that takes a lot of experience to pull off (and you burn out the ABS, which is hardly good for the environment if it's being done in any sort of quantity)
The simple stuff like screws, nuts, and bolts are already interchangeable. Go to the hardware store and look around - notice all the standard sizing and threading. Sure, you might have to cut one to a shorter length, but that's hardly a game-breaker.
It's the non-standard stuff that makes machine A do job A while machine B does job B, that gets costly to keep parts in stock. Of course, the manufacturer should have a supply of parts themselves to respond to increased demand, and having just a bit more of that than normal to handle repair orders wouldn't cost them that much more than they already spend...
Meanwhile, those who -can- read are irritated and ignore you, guaranteeing you'll be interacting with idiots...
Hell, even coal...
I bet you that centralized power generation with proper scrubbing equipment is less of an impact than thousands of little generators without really much in the way of scrubbing...
Only through hard work and perseverance can one truly suffer.
