Comment: 3D printing / DIY CNC. (Score 1) 258

Manufacturing at your home...   Think it, design it, have the hardware make it.

I've started building my own 3D printer, and want to do some DIY CNC equipment (lathe, mill, etc.) also.  I'm glad to see the CNC world active in the DIY area. (Not yet started down that path, but making plans for it.)  There's a growing number of 3D printer parts suppliers like makergear.com(mendel/prusa), makerbot.com(makerbot) who have various company/community supported support options, almost 24/7.

Is there a decent list of suppliers/DIY'rs for that sort of thing in the DIY CNC arena also?  Or is that still a growing market not yet filled?

I hope this helps? And.. as I understand it... Mass = Density * Volume Singularity: Mass's volume has reached zero. Blackhole: The area that a singularity from which light cannot escape from. If you took the mass of the Earth and compressed it's volume to about the size of a marble you'd get a 'blackhole/singularity'.

Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin ruined the word "Python" for me. God bless them. :)

I really was wishing more for a book that was going to help me visualize Python in its core essence, to become One with that which is Python.

Oooooommmmmmm... Relax. Breath in. Breath out. Think Python. Be Python. Do Python!

What? Well, okay... cool.

"I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of freezing cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for letting us work there, and when we got home, our Dad would murder us in cold blood, each night, and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." But you try and tell the young people of today that... and they won't believe you."

For the truly paranoid you'll worry about the NSA or the FBI piggy-backing with the FCC to get around such happy things as the Constitution and Due Process. It's just one more tool for them to use to justify the fact they are doing things out of due process and breaking the laws of the land. If they do all this to protect the land, is it really worth saving? *sad sigh*

Comment: Lobster / Salad concept. (Score 1) 112

People trying to show TWC's thought process as Lobster / Salad meals on the same ticket and splitting the cost isn't fair just don't get it. I've not seen, and I may have just missed it, but all the customers of TWC are paying for Lobster buffet, and some are choosing to eat just the salad. TWC is banking on this. It's PURE profit for them. What they are failing to do, on the scale I feel they are fearing they will need, is increase bandwidth infrastructure .. if it's really needed. Booking profits now, instead of building for the future of the company for what they can see is coming quickly at them. With the changes in offerings of video over the internet and monthly subscriptions to in-your-mailbox DVDs it's cutting into TWC's profits. They are trying to 'twist' how the billing structure is to enhance thier profit not better spread the cost loads. I'm glad TWC has seen the light - at least when they were facing possible law-makers getting involved, but I expect that within a short period of time they will be doing something as bad. I have the same cable modem. I have the same wires in the house. I have the same up/download speeds. Yet, My internet fee rate has gone up about 60% since I started. My pay rate certainly hasn't increased in relation to thier fee's. There's fair market, and there's gouging customers after getting them 'hooked' on fast internet. ** Sure, sugar.. Take it.. First one's free. ** I'll switch to DSL or some other provider source before they get any more money from me.

O Lord, grant that we may always be right, for Thou knowest we will never change our minds.
