Thanks for the link!
Now I know more than before.
Very informative, and without a doubt, that's were the local surgeon copied his idea from.
Have a good day! =)
I live in Puerto Rico, were a big part of the "Chupacabras" myth started.
1st, there are no coyotes in Puerto Rico.. so WTF.
2nd, this is just urban legend... crap you tell at 2 in the morning. Then the news pics up on it.
Years ago (1970s?) there was a local surgeon that "manufactured" these odd "Cara de Diablo" (Face of the Devil??) things. Nobody had ever seen such a thing.
He left them around for everybody's amusement (especially the media).
Big uproar about the Cara de Diablos and what they were.
When the guy came out of the woods, he explained: They were stingrays, he would cut-off the "wings" in a diamond pattern... then stitch them up with his superb abilities.
Chupacabras doesn't exist people.
That's a good direction for software.
Found this for hardware:
Crayola Kids PC Trackball

and a "Microsoft Easyball", which looks very cool, yet isn't manufactured anymore. (yet they're acquired online)
That page is nice.
Thanks!
I placed in my website's address, and to my amazement, there we are!!
The smallest of the possible favicons, yet there we are!
FTW!
I really, really feel proud of this.
We're part of Alexa's top 1,000,000 sites! =D
Much thanks to the NMAP team for this image!
Charing is karing!
yu can yuse maine!
This video sums up part of your post pretty neatly:

It is entitled "Copying is not theft"
Funny enough, there are 'techno remixes' of that song.
Enjoy!
THANK YOU!
Going to read this now.

Thanks for replying... good post. =)
Here's my thoughts:
There's just one problem: It will never work. No, really, it won't.
Think about it: Do you honestly think that thousands of companies across a multitude of industries are going to allow the average consumer to simply download a blueprint for something and "print" it out on their 3D printer (or nanoscale as you called it)? Of course not. Assuming such devices were to become affordable, it would represent a risk to the very core of their business.
Do I think the Government Inc.orporations will allow the average consumer to print stuff on 3D?
HELL NO!
I'm with you on that.
And there will be many more of these MAFIAA suing downloaders, uploaders, grandmothers and wombats.
I know that.
Yet the way I see the future, it's a evolution of our technology, that will happen weather [?] they like it or not.
Let's take it to extremes.
If they make 3D nanoscale printers illegal, with one obtained on the "pirate network" side of things, is enough to print all other copies.
If they keep locking down the internet, via ISPs and regulations: we can combat with better anonymity, a parallel "quasi" internet running p2p, sneaker nets (100 Terabytes of transfer? Why not? Just give the guy a hard disk/solidState drive).
Again, I'm with you.
Will they "fight" it, hell yes.
Will we win? It's just no other way.
And I know a "nanoscale printer" is not something that will get whipped up in 3 days of AutoCAD design (pirated).
Yet that's where we're going!
On the other hand, our economic system relies exclusively on the economics of scarcity. What would happen should we be able to replicate common goods on the cheap--or, fancifully speaking--replicate just about anything from "bulk matter?" Chaos.
Chaos.
Um... yeap!
That's pretty much the way I've seen it.
And after that chaos?
250 years in the future?
Bliss. (if we survive!)
Some place with rockets going to the Moon and Mars.
Medicine being super advanced.
Materials/goods being completely superior.
=)
Let's keep on expanding the "ease of use" for anonymous p2p networks.
p2p is the ENTIRE future of our progress as humanity.
Governments/Corporations (and Government, Inc.orporations) have no idea what will happen when nanoscale-printers arrive, USB Plug&Play Ready.
Think about pirating processors... monitors... wireless antenna designs... turbochargers... medicines... perfumes... textiles... Rolex watches... solar panels... more nano-printers.
The future belongs to us.
Let's work on the p2p networks.
=)
