think you missed the point, when I said good quality ones I didnt mean a toy you buy off of amazon.com

its still a hot melt glue gun on a xy bed go look at podwer systems, composite resin systems and SLA
for instance
correction
most crappy hot glue gun commercial model is based off of open source, most good quality 3D printers are not
after staples

how about you focus less on 3d printing and not taking a week to deliver a package 2 states away when the post office doe it in 3 days for half the price, cause then I might actually USE UPS at some point
Regular finance account reporting of how the money is being used should be required. If you can't handle it, don't ask for money.
Or, the opposite: If you cannot handle the risk of losing the money without getting anything for it, don't pledge the money.
Kickstarter is meant to be risky. If there were no risks, the innovators would have gone to a bank instead.
For example, I have blind faith that God exists, and the mere existence of *something* spawning from absolutely nothing (however many layers deep in a multi-dimentional abstract) came into being. Why did it happen? It's a philosophical question that science can't touch.
God is not an answer. It just adds the same questions we have about the universe to god. Why does god exist? How did god come into existence?
The only difference is that we have a chance of answering the "how" for the universe, but not for a god. So by adding a god hypothesis, we are left with more unanswerable questions, not fewer.
So why does the universe exist? Science tells us why (read an astrophysics text book) and it has very good reasoning and experimentation to back it up.
No, astrophysics text book don't tell us why the universe exists. They tell us the theories of how it developed, but not why.
The why is for now firmly in the realms of philosophy and religion.
If you have an example of an astrophysics text book that states why the universe exists, please give us the reference.
Almost. Science is the way by which we find things which are false.
Almost. Science is the way by which we find out things that may be true and things that cannot be true.
News for ya, in America, everyone's opinion is worth something and is ultimately expressed through the ballot box. Science doesn't get to say "Do this, for I have obtained a 95% confidence level!"
Contrary to what you may think, you don't get to decide on what's facts.
The laws of nature are not decided by vote or fiat, but we learn about them from experimentation.
Even when a state introduces a bill that pi is exactly 3.2, nature stubbornly refuses to cooperate.
You know who among the population has low resting heartbeats? Athletes. People who accelerate their heartbeat on a regular basis.
Also keep in mind that athletes have a lower life expectancy than average. And quite a large part of that shortened life span is done exercising instead of doing something productive.
My resting pulse is 1.08 Hz!
1.80 here.
Mein Herz brennt.
Because if you're sitting sedentary writing code and your heart rate is 90+ you're going to have a rather short life of writing code. That's why you should care.
Getting closer to retirement here. I've done my share of coding, and the heart rate hasn't killed me.
On the other hand, I don't spend large parts of my life exercising and worrying about my health. Why spend 30% of your off-time to perhaps live 20% longer? Especially if most of that time is going to be in a retirement home, worrying about bowel movements and whether there will be pudding.
I honestly prefer to live my life in the fast lane.
Caffeine, nicotine and endorphines keep me living when I'm alive, and still young enough to enjoy it.
If I die earlier, so be it - being dead isn't anything to fear. It's just non-existence. I was in that state for billions of years before I got born.
And now it's time for another pot of coffee and a fresh tin of snuff. Got another book chapter to write.
I think the answer is to fork Redhat EL6, and not accept the choice in RH7 of moving from Upstart to SystemD. Upstart and Udev in RH6 is just great....
Indeed. Iffen ain't broke, don't "fix" it. Or, in this case, don't outright break it.
The best hope I see for a viable long-term supported Enterprise Linux now is a ScientificLinux spin, with eudev and continued hal support. CentOS has become a Red Hat subsidiary, and will toe the party line.
I was saddened to see CERN leave SL for CentOS, and wonder what lubed that decision. I hope Fermilab keeps up the dedication and support, also for spins, and don't get tempted by tall sandwiches.
On my PC with an Asus mainboard the Sleep and Hibernate simply don't work (and never worked with multiple distros and kernels). I need to reboot each day therefore boot time is important for *me*.
Then the solution seems to fix sleep and hibernate, not to break servers.
unfortunately there seem to be a load of self-important old school admins who know it all who hate change and disparage other peoples efforts by making dubious "complaints"
The first ones making complaints are the users, if you kill their processes in a reboot. Even if it is was announced weeks in advance, with follow-ups.
The sane thing to do is to make sure you don't have to reboot. Not going the systemd route helps with that.
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
