I wonder what will happen first: 3D printers that can print 3D printers, or sapient 3D printers? - Victor Ganata

Steam power and machine tools making ever more precise productive machine tools was industrial revolution - WarLord

The traditional thing to do with a Reprap (open-source 3D printer) is to print out all the replacement parts you'll need that it can make. Motors, wire, bearings, and metal frame (and other bits?) you'll have to acquire elsewhere. - Andrew C (✓)

I think you're right in that we probably need another level of tech. Nanorobots, programmable assemblers. It doesn't need to be as omnipotent as a Federation replicator, but once you can fab your own chips and print your own circuit boards, the possibilities are endless. - Victor Ganata

Although, yeah, the printable prosthetic limbs are already pretty amazing. - Victor Ganata

I can see circuit boards, but chips I really doubt will ever happen. Why would they? A chip fab is /incredibly/ expensive, and it produces a general-purpose computing device for a very low marginal cost. You can even buy FPGAs if you want to do some custom-ish hardware chips. - Andrew C (✓)

When 3D Printer prints metal of quality, then...... - WarLord

Well, if they can figure out how to build a CPU from plastic semiconductors, I think all bets are off. Sure, you probably won't be self-fabbing CPUs that are anywhere near the top-of-the-line, but, hey, you can still do a lot of with Commodore 64-level computing power. - Victor Ganata

The other thing that might be interesting are self-printed solar panels. - Victor Ganata

Yeah, but you can get a Raspberry Pi for $25 right now. - Andrew C (✓)

A Raspberry Pi probably won't do too well with your immune system when you implant it in your brain, though. Organic computers are the definitive path to cyborghood. Extreme body modification on another plane. - Victor Ganata

Even so, I'm saying, that stuff will be cheaper to make in a real factory. - Andrew C (✓)

Sure, but Intel or Genentech or Medtronic or whoever are probably not going to sell stuff that you can easily hack. It'll be the same choice as running the stock OS on your phone versus jailbreaking and rooting. Except it'll be your own body. The FDA and DEA is going to have absolutely no way of regulating all that. They can barely keep up as it is. - Victor Ganata

"This object was in common use in medieval libraries, even though very few survive today. It’s a bookmark - and a smart one for that matter. As with our own bookmarks, it tells you where you are in the book: the rope was attached to the binding and placed between two pages. The reader subsequently pulled down the marker along the rope to the line where he had stopped reading. Since an open medieval book often presented four text columns, the reader then turned the disk to indicate in which column he had left off. In this case we read “4” in medieval Arabic numerals - the column on the far right. So this tiny piece of parchment marks it all: page, column and line. That’s what I call smart. Source unknown, likely 13th or 14th century." - Amira from Bookmarklet

Well, that and notice the WoC vs. the white dude. Even as individuals committing the same crime, she's way more likely to go to jail and do more time, even if you account for her fame. - Jennifer Dittrich

Excuse my ignorance but did the guy from GE not pay taxes owed or didn't he owe any taxes due to legal tax reduction techniques - Johnny from iPhone

Did the guy on the right commit any crime? (I'm not sure who he is, so I'm not sure what he may or may not have done.) - Brian Johns

That's Jeff Immelt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...). He has been the CEO of G.E. since September of 2001. As far as I'm aware, he's not accused of any crime, and I have not heard anyone claim that he has avoided paying his personal taxes. The issue is that G.E. has paid zero for corporate taxes in 2010 and possibly other years, despite large profits. However, I believe... more... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Sorry, I probably muddled the issue. The general point is supposed to be that if a person fails to pay their taxes they generally go to jail, but if a corporation dodges them, they continue to do so unimpeded. (I was more pointing out that even in the world of only individual tax fraud, the law is often applied unevenly.) - Jennifer Dittrich

I agree with the cynic in Johnny... Lauryn Hill surely could have paid someone to shelter her earnings in legal ways. But then, maybe she didn't trust anyone enough, or didn't know what to do, and thought she could get away. I'm not familiar with the details of her story, just speculating. - .LAG liked that

Jennifer, yeah, it seems pretty arbitrary which celebrities get jail time and which don't. This article argues she got a light sentence: http://www.forbes.com/sites... -- but it's Forbes, so I dunno. And your point that people go to jail for things that corporations don't is true, but that's the whole point of corporations, to shield individuals from liability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

When I saw this earlier today, I could name a handful of black celebrities who were jailed for not paying taxes, but zero white celebrities. White celebrities were fined, but jailed--even at home, no. http://www.sheknows.com/enterta... and http://www.legalzoom.com/legal-h... show the inequalities. - Anika

True, Stephen - though in theory, it should be a shield not immunity. Some of what we're willing to let pass just galls me sometimes. Well, and that's part of the point as well - he led GE, and legally evaded taxes during that time, but that's respectable. - Jennifer Dittrich

Anika, the only white celebrity I could think of was Martha Stewart, and that wasn't tax related - she pissed off the money men with questionable trading. - Jennifer Dittrich

.LAG, she apparently failed to file for three years: "Ms. Hill pleaded guilty to three counts of failing to file tax returns on more than $1.8 million between 2005 and 2007." (from the article I linked above) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Anika, yeah. Joe Francis and Richard Hatch served time, but they're not real celebrities, whereas Wesley Snipes and Lauryn Hill both are. Seems unfair. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

I wonder how much of it has to do with the ability to pay it back. I know Willie Nelson and Nick Cage both got done but they were able to 'trade their way' showing the ability to earn money to pay it back. - Johnny from iPhone

One thing I should clarify: Victor had an interesting post later about the ethics and morality involved. Please don't construe my first comment here as approval of G.E. being able to pay zero in taxes: It's clearly wrong (ethically wrong, morally wrong, and wrong from a fairness perspective) that our system lets them get away with it. It's proof to me that our tax system needs serious reformation. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

(And I think Jennifer was making that same point as well, when she pointed out the double standard in Immelt being treated with respect for being able to avoid so many taxes.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

"Astronomers have found a planetary system orbiting the star Kepler-62. This five-planet system has two worlds in the habitable zone — the distance from their star at which they receive enough light and warmth for liquid water to theoretically exist on their surfaces. (...) Kepler-62e is 60 percent larger than Earth, while Kepler-62f is about 40 percent larger, making both of them “super-Earths.” They are too small for their masses to be measured, but astronomers expect them to be composed of rock and water, without a significant gaseous envelope. As the warmer of the two worlds, Kepler-62e would have a bit more clouds than Earth, according to computer models. More distant Kepler-62f would need the greenhouse effect from plenty of carbon dioxide to warm it enough to host an ocean. Otherwise, it might become an ice-covered snowball. “Kepler-62e probably has a very cloudy sky and is warm and humid all the way to the polar regions. Kepler-62f would be cooler, but still potentially life-friendly,” said Harvard astronomer and co-author Dimitar Sasselov." - Amira from Bookmarklet

Just saw this, Monique. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, and it always comes at a bad time. But if I've learned anything about you here on FF, it's that you have the spirit of a fighter, with a wonderful mix of "in your face" humor. Turn all of that to your cancer recovery and I know cancer's gonna lose. Big time! - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

I really don't know you personally either, but have always been impressed with your talent & intelligence in navigating back and forth between two sub cultures and no nonsense " in your face" approach to life's share of bullshit.. The thought of losing you, ANY part of you is just not acceptable. Earnest prayers and thoughts on your behalf!!! ♥ - ᏓᏰ #team Monique from iPhone

what I said on facebook. i love you. - Laura Norvig

Like everyone else, I know you got this. But if you need something, even if its just a reminder that "one titty can equal two". You just shout! You are a crazy strong person, crazy stubborn, and just the lady to kick cancer's ass. - Shannon - GlassMistress

Listen. Seeing all these names with #TeamMonique behind them? It does a lot to raise my spirits each day. Even if I want to be sad or feel sorry for myself, I can't, because I know all of you are pulling for me and have my back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. <3

Happy birthday to Stephen Mack, FriendFeed's most proficient, and accurate, liker. He is loved by all, admired by many, and his works are enjoyed by all those who come in touch with them. This year, for his birthday, I am told FriendFeed has chipped in to buy him a screensaver! It will come on a floppy disk in the mail.

Thank you, Louis! That photo was more than 7 years ago... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Does he still use a Sinclair ZX81 as well, or is that a bit too modern? I think Charles Babbage had some kind of interesting gadget that came a bit before Apple's ipad too. - Erik Retallick

And then Pitbull turns that into "Don't Stop The Party": http://www.youtube.com/watch... (Warning: The video is basically porn with product placement.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Does it continue? - Jimminy IS Everybody

Observation: IF YOU SPEED IT UP ANOTHER 15% YOU END UP WITH THE SOUNDTRACK TO INCEPTION. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Are y'all having a good time out there? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Same thing happened with Etta James - Somethings Got a Hold On Me, to Avicii - Levels (2011), which was sampled by everything in 2012, probably most famously Flo Rida - Good Feeling. - Jimminy IS Everybody

Yeah, we talked about that in December: http://friendfeed.com/allmusi... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Heh, so we did. - Jimminy IS Everybody

There's another one that someone brought up recently, but I can't remember what it was. It was an old track that was sampled, and then resampled as an extremely generic line in a huge number of songs over the past 15-20 years. - Jimminy IS Everybody

Thing is, with Etta James, if you listen to "Something's Got A Hold On Me" only the first few seconds carry through to Flo Rida's "Good Feeling." But if you listen to "Funky Kingston" and then to "Don't Stop The Party" you really are listening to the same groove the entire time, just sped up a lot and with Pitbull's singing ("singing") superimposed. He even kept that crazy drum bit. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
