It is in fact a beautiful machine. You should use it once in a while.

Are you stupid or do you really believe that in 10 - 15 years (as the GP post indicated) that 3D printer technology will have the same capability it has today? My guess is neither. My guess is that you are an attention whoring, self important douche bag that skimmed, missed everything, made up a story from the post that you though you might be capable of presenting a valid argument on and pushed forward. Grats.

A hammer can be fairly dangerous without ammo. Some might argue that if you are facing 2 men. One has a hammer and a nail and a .45 caliber bullet and is trying to shoot you with it, the other just has a hammer and is coming at you with it.

I would put my focus on the guy without the nail and the bullet.

I have a TI-994A. Working. With an Extended Basic cartridge too!

I don't. I build all of code in hardware. That is rendered in MineCraft.

The public is busy watching "So you think you can dance".

Like I said. It can weigh more. But only by a little. You will not be finding another 9,000 to 27,000 lbs of safety gear. You original statement was a bit more than hyperbolic.

I do not think you are correct.

The 777 can carry up to 451 passengers. even if they only save 2 lbs per seat you are talking about 900 lbs.

So the extra passengers can weigh more than the weight savings it is only by a few pounds. Not 10 - 30 times the weight.

Its cute that you think like that. The US has run its course. The citizens have become lazy and entitled as did the Europeans and we shall suffer the same fate. We will become more lazy, more stagnant and more entitled until the system collapses.

And your country has led the industrialized world and driven technology and innovation for how long?

Perl. That is all. :)

The law as written is over 300,000 words. Over 11 million words of regulations have been written for the law. Over all. As any real percentage of what is going on with this law. He has no clue. Neither do any of the senators or representatives who voted for it. What they know is a small percentage of the law as it was when they voted on it. Changed by executive fiat and 11 million words of regulations pertaining to it.

Constitutional responsibility is running real short in all levels of government.

On the other hand it seems that Constitutional guarantees includes everything but a lifetime supply of Twinkies.

I am not saying that Obama is not a piece of shit. Just that the horrible piece of nation destroying crap with his name on it it not fully his fault.

There is a lot of blame to go around. It starts with the citizens that want things given to them.

Obama did not write it. He has no idea what is in it.

Congress had to pass it before they could figure out what it meant. This was written by lobbyists and bureaucrats each piece designed to make money for some individual company with no regard to what it means on the whole.

Every congress critter that votes on any piece of legislation that they do not understand should be thrown of of their position. After they are raped and killed. Any law that can not be understood by someone without a law degree in 20 minutes should be null and void. Complicated laws are always wrong.

And fuck every piece of shit that has said "Their ought to be a law" in the last 50 years.
