This could also be good against oppressive governments.
Think of this:
People have been able to DIY a working cell phone before, in the past.
Before 3D printers there were working yet experimental circuit boards (read motherboards) that could be printed from normal inkjet printers.
And with 3D printers people have been able to print solar panels.

If and when I get my hands on this shit I am going to be printing fucking solar powered MIDs and cell phones, meaning no Gov' or corporate based hardware level monitoring or interference crap.

He also talks about using trash as its source material. Very cool. Now throw a solar panel or wind turbine in with it.
Independent, off the grid, manufacturing that helps keep Earth clean. Wow.
Who else is exited for this?

Damn small computers (7)

4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r

I really want my own Linux/BSD box. I have been browsing for small computers but there is so much noise out there. Could you help me or recommend something? Something along these lines:

Very low power usage, <20W
Can handle apache2, mysql, ssh, irc. X would be cool too.
Has USB, VGA/DVI/HDMI output, RJ-45
SSD >=8GB (non-SSD too if you convince me!)
Cheap :<

This would be awesome but I just haven't found one. If I would buy something with ARM, how would that affect software possibilities? I'm no sysadmin, just a lowly tech geek :/

Perfect infographic about how the SOPA is very wrong for our Internet. (7)

Japanese IME on Windows XP (2)

4n0n4ym0u5 h4xx0r

Hello, 4-ch! I can't seem to be able to install the Japanese IME. I don't have Office XP on my computer either, so I can't use the Office XP link. Being able to type in Japanese on my computer would help me learn very much, so I would like your advice on how to install it without having the Windows CD or having Office XP. Thank you! :)

Is there a light web IRC client... (6)

that is not mibbit?
I end up having to use web IRC often but I really don't like mibbit.

The worlds first fully open-source tablet? (2)

I am buying this. They say that is has an "unlocked bootloader", which I hopt means the mobo firmware will be opensource, along with any/all hardware drivers. This could mean that it is the first computer in a long time that even Ritchard Stallman can use.
And it's a tablet on the smaller end of size. I am buying this.

Can any of you help out with this Linux distro? (2)

Namely, creating a branch of it that uses Openbox.

Intel fakes playing a game demo when it's actually a pre-recorded video. (1)

Error Cannot Copy Invalid MS-DOS function (42)

Joe!QkO1sgFXdY

Ok, I get this whenever I try to copy something from my CD-Rom drive, It sounds like it's working ok, but after it reaches somewhere around 40% it just gives up on the file and shows this error message saying "Error Cannot Copy Invalid MS-DOS function". The computer is brand new and I was wondering if anyone else has had the same trouble with this? thanks!

Using file sharing with Norton Internet Security 2011? (4)

Peter

How do I configure Norton Internet Security 2011 to enable me to use file sharing programs like Emule or Shareaza?
