Fuck vi, Fuck vi, Fuck vi, Fuck vi, Fuck vi!

Fuck emacs, Fuck emacs, Fuck emacs, Fuck emacs, Fuck emacs!

Pico is the only way forward. :)

Libertarians are are not socially liberal. They are not fiscally conservative. Libertarians believe in actual rights of human beings. More than what are now being called rights. The things that the liberals are calling rights involve mostly taking things from other people. Libertarians are mostly just correct. Conservatives and Liberals get a few things right by accident.

Short story is that Liberals understand a few things that are socially Libertarian, Conservatives understand a few things that are fiscally Libertarian. Libertarians get most things right except on the rare occasion they go bat shit crazy.

All people should be insulated from all of their bad past choices by the Government.

That is why we have a government. Once we make it so that bad behavior has no effect on the outcome of your life, we are sure that human nature will make sure the world is an awesome place to live.

Not me. I do know that looking back in history the smart money is on it getting done. If only flying cars were not the one exception to this rule.

Again. No way that we can see means nothing over 15 years.

Show me a person that though in 1997 that cell phones would have more power than the Best PCs of the time. That they would be smaller. That they would create multiple new markets. That they connect everyone constantly in unimaginable ways. I see no reason why 3D printing can not get down to a 180nm process. Can you even imagine what the world will be like if people can get their hands on a home based 3D printer capable of even 250 nm tech? Even at $5000 - $10000. It could be considered a bargain.

In 1998 Nokia came out with the iconic 5110. That is one year after the 1997 technology you talk of. Let us compare the 5110 with last big phone the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Nokia 5110: 2G Network. 170 grams. 5 line monochromatic display. SMS Messaging. Played 3 games. and could store 5 received, 5 missed and 8 dialed calls.

Galaxy S4: 4G LTE, 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, A 5 Inch 1080 x 1920 pixel color display, SMS, MMS, Email, Web can store 64 GM of information, can play games that would have been impossible on full computers at the time. It is also lighter.

Again. 3D printing 15 years from now ... You really can not imagine what they will be capable of. Current processes are slowing due to the physical nature of the universe. 3D printing can grow quickly right up to those numbers. It will. I do not think it will take much more than 10 years. The materials they will be using are not knowable right now. I can tell you this. In 10 years it will cost less, be 1000 times more capable and will be used for things we can not even imagine now. Just like cell phones. 3D printers are a game changer. If you can not apply the history of technology when you look forward ... I am sure you can. The reason you did not is so that you could make that post. Again. Enjoy that post. It did not make you look smart, or knowledgeable.

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.
