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?
It will be able to print small projectile weapons eventually. Then government will come in and a pass laws on it so it cant print the weapons.
Then hackers will Jailbreak it.
> using trash as its source material.
This is a bit dubious, especially the way it's described in the video. I predict it'll be a long time before you can print stuff without clean input materials (ink cartridges).
Kind of like how computers don't have artificial intelligence yet, despite all the dreaming about it. It's a related technology, sure, but the problem's a lot harder than they're giving it credit for.

Pretty exciting.

This whole idea is cool. I'm imagining making parts to a chair in some Google Sketchup like program, "printing" the parts, fitting them together like lego pieces, then sitting the the chair feeling awesome.
Fuck! I never even thought about medical purposes!
More medical-related 3D Printing awesomeness. This time with an artistic flair.

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:
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 :/
It's not out yet. But it's pretty sweet. You can attach everything else to it. I'm getting the model B.

It's almost here!
still not here! ITSHOULDBEHEREALREADY
Plug computers look pretty cool. I've been thinking about picking up a DreamPlug. Check the link for more

Don't knock it, they tend to post links to stuff people can do against proposed moronic legislation.
All politicians in any capacity should be forced to complete a basic technology course. It would be a lot more useful than How To Not Sexually Harass Your Co-Workers In Seven Simple Steps.

But then the workplace might be uncomfortable to women and minorities!
LOL? These sites would not exist without the likes of freedom fighting groups. Censored like comie countries
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! :)

May be difficult to install. Can run live though. There are many others out there. There is openoffice. free open source.

There are many projects from Japan
search google, Most offer open office
all free projects
that is not mibbit?
I end up having to use web IRC often but I really don't like mibbit.
CGI:IRC?
Or run any console-based IRC client. I'm guessing a few have Web frontends, or you could even access them over SSH.
Miranda has IRC protocol support.
Try qwebirc.

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.
if it can fully run a linux os on it that means it can run anything.
fuck kde and the plasma active. imma install debian and icewm.

Namely, creating a branch of it that uses Openbox.
Just fetch the Openbox sources and compile (then move to your $PATH or whatever). You might even be able to grab the binaries from Arch Linux's repository if they use the same package manager.
Honestly I wish Tanasinn.info wouldn't associate itself with this project. Then again it's a wiki and it's just one guy editing it, so whatever.
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 <filename> Invalid MS-DOS function". The computer is brand new and I was wondering if anyone else has had the same trouble with this? thanks!

i just had d same problem w/ u guys..after 2 days of exploring i finally got it. its funny, because its too simple. lols, mine is drive D. what i did is i dragged d whole including the drive to my videos, my new folder. :D
I had the same problem. EASY FIX. I unmounted the virtual drive then remounted and could copy the stuff over fine. If its a real disk drive (which i doubt) try ejecting and and... um rejecting...injecting... what ever. lol
when i copy fifa 2007 into my computer i get invalid ms-dos function.can i do something?
have you tried to shortcut it to my computer
Thank you very much to Latheef!!
for your solution :
"Best solution
Inj win2003 Right click any where in your drive or dirctory then from the popup
select
new-> ziped folder
then a new zipped folder is created
Drag and drop the the contents of CD up on the newly created icon after a short time whole the dragged contents are ziped to your disk then upzip it. Then you will get all contents without any errors
Enjoy...."
once more, your rock dude!!
@Latheef:
What if your compter won't allow you to make zip folders?
>>40
Seriously. Fuck off. You don't know how to use the site and you keep spamming your blog here. Kill yourself.
@Latheef, thanks a lot, it works on my win XP :) God Bless you
How do I configure Norton Internet Security 2011 to enable me to use file sharing programs like Emule or Shareaza?
Get rid of it. Honestly, there should be a law against `internet security suites'.
Get Microsoft Security Essentials and use Windows Firewall (or your router, if it has a firewall built-in). Just as secure, no cost, no nagware, and setting up things like this is trivial.
Well, Norton Internet Security expired recently so I switched over to McAfee this time hoping it would be better. Unfortunately it still says I'm firewalled. Anybody got any tips?
