It shouldn't be that hard to have a 3d printer determine if it is making something with a hole the size of a standard bullet.
Yes, we're lucky there's such a thing as a "standard bullet"...

The problem with printed firearms is that they're plastic. We have no means to detect them. They instantly obsolete our security infrastructure. You can walk onto an airplane with one. You could walk into a courtroom with one. You could walk into the White House, Congress, or the Supreme Court with one. That is a major problem.
You know how I can tell you've never typed "zip gun" into google?
These kind of luddites probably "print a gun" means you can press a button and out pops a fully functioning Glock 9mm.
Making zip guns in a machine shop is waaaay easier/cheaper then trying to get a 3D printer to produce anything more than a misshapen blob of plastic. Even if the printers improve, plastic guns will never be a replacement for the real thing (which are made of metal!)
Domain blocking has been so successful already. No one will figure out how to use alternative DNS servers, or simply type in the IP address manually.
Doesn't matter, it's all about training governments to bend over whenever they say so. They'll be back again soon, with bigger demands.
PS: Thanks, RIAA, for letting me know about Grooveshark...
Wasn't there a guy who tried this once before?
The men in black SUVs paid him a visit. Just like they'll pay this guy a visit...
It finds that 11% of files in Firefox are highly interconnected
It means 89% aren't...which sounds much nicer.
- have more pressing concerns in europe right now that whether they can download pirated media. You know, minor things like over 50% youth unemployement in spain, the collapse of the greek economy and its knock on effects, mass immigration, enviromental degradation...
Right, because the existing parties here in Spain are doing such a good job of running the country.
Who knows, maybe a bit of young blood who doesn't talk the talk or wear an expensive suit might be a good thing.
Oh, a different meaning for an acronym that's been in use for over 50 years. That will sure help with the confusion!
It's not an acronym, it's an abbreviation.
(or do you go around saying "CUPOO" to everybody?)
Because "Java 7.53" makes them look bad - 53 critical updates!
Instead they chose to obfuscate things and redefine "CPU", which doesn't make them look bad at all.
It's not an acronym, it's an abbreviation.
What exactly have they "published"?
Because when these guys fail to prove that the defendant's computer is the one they claim, any lawyer worth his or her degree will slap them with a defamation lawsuit.
Fail.
They aren't out to prove anything. They're sending out random letters in the hope that there's a few people out there that are stupid enough to pay up.
Actually, the one practically undisputed big selling point of Java is backwards compatibility.
Was backwards compatibility.
Before Oracle took over.
Nowadays all you're backwards compatible with is the old exploits.
I have yet to come across a voltage regulator that doesn't run hot. Typically, it's one of the hottest components in an electrical circuit. And we're integrated this into a slab of silicon already well-known for getting so hot it can catch fire?
Gee. If only Intel had some proper engineers like you who could think of clever things like that...
Wonder if they sell it on eBay...)
Update: Yes they do... 8-)
