I know that such tools were in use something like 30 years ago, but I have never seen one, nor have I seen gunpowder cartridges for such tools in any DIY shops.

Until then I am not impressed. So you can print a plastic tube with a handle. Wow. Now for the trip to a "hardware store" to buy some bullets. Oh wait, I am not in USA, there are no bullets for general sale here, unless you are a registered gun owner.
> very little room for improvement
Oh yeah? I would understand that nobody should drive a car at 200 mph in a city, so making common cars very powerful (and more expensive) is not good.
However, for a gaming PC, you would want any MHz/fill rate you can squeeze out of it. There is lots of room for improvement there. Unfortunately, current silicon technology cannot push frequencies up as it was done in the 90s/start of 00s, and "multi-core" past 4 cores is really just a gimmick. So the reason why I would think for a few years before upgrading a CPU is because new CPUs are not that better. By 2013, I would have expected 20Ghz CPUs and GPUs that can run a FPS game at 100Hz at a high resolution monitor, and I do not mean "HD", more like 3000x2000.

That is great
True, I pay approx. $800 (12 x €56) a year for basic TV cable + 50 mbps cable broadband.
In this case you may consider having a new gaming console an unnecessary luxury?
You can buy a used, but perfectly usable and cheap windows XP/7 laptop from your local Craigslist or ebay. Re-image it regularly.
Nice. Does Deep Freeze restores all the photos that a guest accidentally deleted to make some space on disk to download malware?
Sure, multiple squads of Russian police are on their way now to arrest mavook! Just tell them that the only evidence that he is the creator of flashback is his forum signature.
You are sick if you equate minor inconvenience with your precious Mac computer and a loss of human life.
Personal insults are signs of emotional immaturity. To answer your question -- somebody may just have a wad of money just because they like to have it this way. Not because they run a business. Did those drug traffickers say to Anaya that they need a hidden compartment for a particular business purpose? No, and it is not his business to ask.
I like your "an bullshit bromide" phrase. Is it a new internet meme that I have missed?
McCracken took no pity on him. “He makes the drug world work,” she told the judge. “He is equivalent to what I consider somewhat of a genius that takes cocaine and molds them into shapes so that they can be moved in plain sight I don’t feel bad at all today. In fact, this is a pleasure. And Mr. Anaya says that he’s part of this big group of people that puts in compartments. He’s part of this secret society, I guess. Well, I hope he tells a friend, because we’re coming for them.”
