Latest chrome on win 7 all patched and up to date.
Browser reverted to something from the dark ages a week or so ago.
I managed to convince myself I had been hacked.
Ended up deleting partition and re-installing everything from the ground up.
well that's 3 days of my life I won't get back
Do no evil!
Fuckken thanks a fukken bunch fukken google.
Cabron!
2 - done and done! multi coloured/multi headed machines available now. Im sure i have seen one with 4 reels somewhere.
4 - what you are basically saying is along the lines of you want to write poetry but can't be arsed to learn grammar or spelling!
CAD is the easy part, autocad is no more or less complex than word, but FEA, which is what you really need, that can be a bit more complex. While the tech is fascinating, what you are trying to do is inherently complicated. if you can't stand the heat...
Don't know where you are getting your info on scanners from but +- 50 microns seems pretty accurate to me. and kinda the point of the current 3d printing enthusiast scene is actually making stuff you have designed, not replicating something that some other bloke/bloke-ess designed. so i would say the need for scanners is not so great. (unless making prosthetic limbs, where a model of the stump would be important!)
Especially as the materials and construction methodology do not make 3d printing much of a candidate for replacing _any_ component. An injection moulded nylon doh-dah is going to be far stronger than it's ABS laminar print lookalike. and if the nylon doh-dah broke in the first place, then it dont look good for the printed replacement.
CAD is as old as gods dog - make your own models ffs.
Or you can download 1000's of stl files, you just have to look. (there's even a strandbeeste model you can d/l for nothing)
There are plenty of 'cheap' 3d scanners about with the same form factor as the hobbyist printers. Plus the nature of the community is such that I am sure a replacement hot end that contains a laser, that can scan, is minutes away from market as we speak.
Thus spake the bloke getting a 3d printer next payday.
I don't make claims that I will be able to print a working suspension bridge or anything 'structural' any time soon... or at all really, for me it's just a really cool toy.
On the whole I sort of agree with dabbsy the current state of the art is not great just like the early digi cams, but people didnt buy them cos they took great pictures, they bought them cos they were digital!
and if they had not bought them, then we would all still be taking pictures on little slivers of plastic... or actually not taking pictures at all, cos it was such a pain in the arse.
Top rant that man!
In my minds eye I could see that purple vein in your temple throbbing 'blomp blomp blomp'
your foam flecked lips forming a grim line as you mercilessly thrash the living shit out of your keyboard.
most impressive indeed...
in fact, I think I share it with all my friends on facecunt, they love all this sort of thing, and it will take days for one of them to find something to top it........
oh noes :-S
As the author has clearly not travelled a great deal in this fine world of ours, might I suggest a trip the the United States of Murica.
There you will find a system that is fully 110% committed to the principle that in which the devoted contributors are ‘taxed’ without being represented. And it has been that way for quite some time.
what?
like the pig wot killed that bloke in London that wasn't even part of the protest?
Took years to get him out of his cushy job (despite his previous) and he avoided bird, but he murdered someone on the six o'clock fucking news!
do me a favour.... guv.
Does the average commentard here really drive in such a manner that looking away (or adjusting ones focus) for 1/2 a second will result in an accident?
p'raps that explains the vast numbers of drives who regard mirrors as vanity accessories!
Take an LGV course, you spend way way WAY more time looking in your mirrors*, and compensate by considering driving conditions further up the road (a lot further up the road if you have a liquid or swinging load)
It's just the same information we are all processing now, with a fractionally different delivery system. If you cant deal with it, turn it off or preferably take the bus.
* a truck driver should be at least as aware whats going on behind him as is in front.
WHAT?
You think the net happened by accident?
You need to take more water with it mate.
The internet is a prime example of precisely, and I mean that in it's technical sense, precisely the opposite of the point you are trying to make.
It's a fantastic example of forward planning and it is regulated all to fuck - just not by governments.
You don't believe me? try unplugging that cat 5 cable from the back of your computer and shouting 'google' really loudly into it. see how far you get.
just because you lack the wit to appreciate the organisation does not mean it is not there
way to fail!
I'm beginning to come round to this idea TBH
Anything that ends the Sisyphean 'upgrade' (what-the-fuck-grade) cycle of annual updates with no significant productivity gain (all more than offset by the bugs in the new bits), but different enough to require staff training or variation to your internal systems. Who knows someone might even come up with the innovation of software that just does what it's supposed to do, and wont go titsup every 10 minutes. and if it helps the vendors address piracy, than that's all good too.
Agreed!
So Mr Page, regarding that itchy mole that recently appeared on your back, will you;
a) Take the advice of your regular GP
b) Consult with a specialist dermatologist - who has specialised in this condition
c) Post a question on !yahoo !answers and go with the most popular opinion
yeah I thought so.
(damn gubbermint introducing a mole tax just to buy schools and roads and nucular (hehehe) summarines and stuff!)
a new low
so you are the type of cyclist that ignores red lights then....
and when you are killed doing it, it will be the drivers fault.
and not 'all' people cross against a red. In fact this very weekend me and 10 or so of my mates were out on the piss, and traversing town from pub to pub on 2 occasions we waited at red lights even though there was no traffic coming. (and to be fair taking the piss out of ourselves as we did it!)
apparently it's more common in germany
What's the point in buying a government if you can't then go on to recoup your costs by ripping off the public.
I think it's called 'the market' :-)
Before making a right wing knee-jerk DV, think about it. what is the exact mechanism that results in this insanity? the market. it might be broken, but nonetheless that's what it is. the power resides with the politicians, being a politician is heinously expensive, so if you want to continue to be a politician you gotta suck a lot of cocks. Corporations have a shitload of cash which they (wisely) invest in buying the government, who in turn ensure the corp is still there writing cheques at the next electoral cycle.
supply and demand, just in this instance (and lets be honest in just about every other conceivable instance) the people get screwed along the way.
democracy don't mean shit if collectively you are going to consistently vote like twats.
