If it is possible to produce cyborg enhanced people and have them digitally implant brain download educated then the time taken to make a return on investment is quicker and would be desirable for the marketplace....if nano people like data were possible then humans would go the way of the horse drawn carriage etc...

It doesnâ(TM)t cost much more to have three computers on a multi million dollar plane....just go with the extra redundancy and FUCK the bean counters and culture that created this problem....they have royally screwed up all ready so who cares....donâ(TM)t make planes if you have a cheap ass culture, make furniture or something like brooms etc.

Agreed......this is nothing but super lazy, greedy corporate think (or non think), itâ(TM)s essentially just a stream of bits going to the tv, and a bunch of software running in the tv. This is what happens when the marketing department runs the company, same As with the Boeing 737 max screw up....marketing runs the company...

Submission + - Forced Subscriptions Are Increasingly Driving 3D Users To Open Source Tools 2

dryriver writes: More and more professional 3D software like 3DMax, Maya, AutoCAD (Autodesk) and Substance Painter (Adobe) is now only available on a monthly or yearly subscription basis — you cannot buy any kind of perpetual license for these industry standard 3D tools anymore, cannot offline install or activate the tools, and the tools also phone home every few days over the internet to see whether you have "paid your rent". Stop paying your rent, and the software shuts down, leaving you unable to even look at any 3D project files you may have created with software. This has caused so much frustration, concern and anxiety among 3D content creators that, increasingly, everybody is trying to replace their commercial 3D software with Open Source 3D tools. Thankfully, open source 3D tools have grown up nicely in recent years. Some of the most popular FOSS 3D tools are the complete 3D suite Blender ( https://www.blender.org/ ), polygon modeling tool Wings 3D ( http://www.wings3d.com/ ), polygon modeling tool Dust3D ( https://dust3d.org/ ), CAD modeling tool FreeCAD ( https://www.freecadweb.org/ ), PBR texturing tool ArmorPaint ( https://armorpaint.org/ ), procedural materials generator Material Maker ( https://rodzilla.itch.io/mater... ), image editing tool GIMP ( https://www.gimp.org/ ), painting tool Krita ( https://krita.org/en/ ), vector illustration tool Inkscape ( https://inkscape.org/ ) and the 2D/3D game engine Godot Engine ( https://godotengine.org/ ). Along with these tools comes a beguiling possibility — while working with commercial 3D tools pretty much forced you to use Windows X in terms of OS choice in the past, all of the FOSS 3D tool alternatives have Linux versions. This means that for the first time, professional 3D users can give Windows a miss and work with Linux as their OS instead.

Because good old America governments have for over 100 years considered South America to be their front yard playground and America will talk softly and carry a big stick and beat the crap out of any legitimate democratic government (especially if itâ(TM)s left wing) you dare elect there, plus our plantation corporations have their god given right to take all your resources too!!

Please ban this idiot twit (seriously, where did all these immature low brainpower morons come from?), I remember when the internet browsers started out in 95 and slashdot was literally one of the first sites and was basically a lot of cool nerd stuff....no useless adds, content AND no morons with hitler symbols....seriously, how retarded are these idiots?

You responses donâ(TM)t seem very bright, the problem is that modern technology security cameras, for instance, are now cheaply networkable to the stateâ(TM)s security ecosystems making 1894 scenarios possible, everyoneâ(TM)s cell phones are a good example too. Having a whole ton of people possessing smart doorbells the authorityâ(TM)s having access too is chilling...if world dictators like Hitler and Stalin possessed such tech, the world would be really messed up today. This type of runaway technology has appeared in science fiction novels before, but the messy, complex reality of it actually happening today is both fascinating and disturbing too.
