Buy a household 3D printer, it'll pay for itself in MONTHS!
Install a 3D printer in your house and it could pay for itself in just four months, a group of university engineers have claimed. This is according the Michigan Tech "Open Sustainability Technology Group" (also home to "3D Printers for Peace"). Dr Joshua Pearce and his acolytes say that anyone who uses an open source "self- …
Terrible waste of resources
If we (ie the Human Race) were actually serious about lasting any decent length of time on this mud ball, there are good reasons why we should not have normal paper printers in a persons house, let alone a snot-sticker
Re: Terrible waste of resources
Yes because the world is being deforested because of demand for paper. Get Real.
Re: Terrible waste of resources
Yes because the world is being deforested because of demand for paper. Get Real.
Even if the trees to produce the paper are grown sustainably (and many are), paper production is far from good for the environment, with many impacts, including waste from the pulping and bleaching process (hint: wood pulp is not white), and the environmental impact of inks, toners, and coatings commonly in use.
Re: Terrible waste of resources
"because the world is being deforested because of demand for paper."
That isn't true. It's being deforested because of the demand for agricultural land. Paper is just one of the many crops we humans need.
The best thing we humans could have done was not to stop using paper, but to start using more bits of rubber on the ends of our willies.
Ideally, we should have done this before we got to a billion. It's not that long ago that this was the world's population. Some of us are likely to see that rise to 25 billion.
So please. If you care about the planet, stop breeding!

Not to change the subject but go check out what waste products result from Greek Yogurt - the latest fad
Re: Terrible waste of resources
I care not a jot for this miserable ball of shite.
tho fortunately for your argument i care rather a lot about my disposable income....
so ok then :-)
Re: Terrible waste of resources
its not that simple. i'm all for saving and not wasting resources.
but you could also argue that a long term effect of huge population = more brains = more ideas = more advanced technology = less resources needed = and possibly also best case scenario, invention of practically free energy source and/or achieving technological singularity much faster than a limited population = endless resources

A modern day laser
In the early 1960's LASERs were touted as a solution looking for a problem. It appears that whoever came up with this
advertisement article has created a problem, or a whole set of problems to fit the solution. (And to be fair to 3D printing, maybe in 20 - 30 years it will evolve into something worth doing, too)
There are a few issues however. You don't need to buy this printer to get the tat it produces - you just need someone in the neighbourhood to sell this junk at a car boot sale. Second is that once you've produced your ration of cheap, plasticky garbage you don't need the printer any more - so off it goes to eBay, or FREEGLE if it still works. So the second hand market for these things should be quite bouyant (provided you can wait the few months for these to trickle through).
Finally, if you're producing all these things yourself, what is little Jonny going to bring home from his/her/its woodworking class? Maybe schools need to adapt and move with the times.
Re: A modern day laser
I'm sure if I had a megawatt laser, I'd view it as the solution to every problem too.
The only really interesting thing I've ever seen 3D printers being used for is to produce D&D miniatures and scenery cheaper than you'd pay in a gaming store.
Re: A modern day laser
Printing D&D miniatures and scenery (or any other such models) is one of the most interesting applications I've seen for these printers. IMO it's not the slight savings you might get, but being able to customise things more. No need for the same repetitive scenery, you could change it up a bit! And that long scar your dwarf warrior got fighting that orc, well it's not just painted on (depending on the size of the miniature). Same goes for other games -- I have need of replacement pips for Iron Dragon, as my young daughters a few years ago lost them all (as well as a few of the cargo tokens), and making different robot models for RoboRally would be fun.
Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
You know - the stuff that breaks easily and seems to be impossible to glue or repair in anyway.
Re: Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
You can print in nylon, ABS or PLA, and a few folk have used less convenient things like polycarbonate and various flavours of polyethylene. None of these will have any mould-release chemicals in them so they should be a little more amenabe to gluing, and stuff like nylon and ABS is pretty standard stuff and there'll be lots of adhesives available. PLA (the classic 'hammered snot' look ) has a glass transition point comfortably below that of boiling water, so it is pretty straightfoward to heat it up to do some sorts of repairs.
Re: Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
Does this make PLA a candidate for not bothering with the printer and just modeling the hot plastic by hand?
Re: Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
Have a look at PolyMorph, plastic granules that you can melt down in warm/hot water then form by hand. Tough as Nylon when it's done, but can be melted and resued many times.
Places like Maplins sell it in the UK.
Re: Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
If you're not going to use the printer then why not use Milliput instead of the plastic.
Re: Places like Maplins sell it in the UK.
Why would a Holiday Camp sell it?
Re: Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
Can I put in a good word for Sugru too (pity about its short shelf life tho'). And there's always used chewing gum...
Re: Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
What is needed is a means to bond glass, carbon, etc. fiber layers, or better still, metal layers. The ability to print composite materials would make it far more useful.
Re: Does this use the same plastic that everything seems to be made of these days?
There are 3-D printers that will do metal (laser sintering). Not at the home hobbyist level though.
Spoon holder...
My wife has a spoon holder. A nasty cheap plastic affair. I know this as I melted one side of it by leaving the thing too near the hob. The smell of burning plastic ruined the glorious smell of fried bacon.....
Re: Spoon holder...
My wife has a spoon holder. A nasty cheap plastic affair.
I have a spoon holder. It's made of hand.
Re: Spoon holder...
At least burning PLA has a pleasant milky stench.
The problem with PLA for household goods is that it melts at about 50C; if you stick a 3D-printed thing in the dishwasher it comes out a bit Dali, if you try to 3D-print coasters you find you have made expensive and attractive stick-on bottoms for your coffee cups.
Re: Spoon holder...
Get an induction hob, they don't emit so much heat around the cooking area.
Re: Spoon holder...
I have a high-tech ceramic monocoque spoon holder; it's very resistant to heat and features a handle as well.
Re: Spoon holder...
@Tom - not sure where you got those numbers from. The two common 3D printed materials (PLA and ABS) have melting points well above 100C (160-170C for PLA and 200-220 for ABS), through PLA softens at between 60-65C and ABS at 105-110C.
Re: Spoon holder...
Hey don't knock spoon rests. I have a nice ceramic one, use it all the time, saves me wiping the kitchen counter AND wipes clean really easily so no dishwashing required. Time saver all round.
No way in hell would I have a cheap plastic one, though, some stuff like tomato sauce stains plastic really easily
Re: Spoon holder...
I have one as well - it doubles as a used teabag.
Re: Spoon holder...
A ceramic spoon rest? I think i have a whole set. I call them plates and saucers ....
Re: Spoon holder...
Only a short comment as I am busy holding a spoon
Re: Spoon holder...

Dying of laughter over this. Don't know but it's just hilarious.

they are cheaper than a new stove

What a lot of rubbish.
I've seen this technology working firsthand - both the plastic and metal versions--I've metal thingies on my desk made this way. Whilst its fascinating, its level of sophistication (and current state of the art), especially in integrating different materials and technologies within printed components, is about as sophisticated as an ancient crystal set is compared to a modern internet TV or smart phone.
Wake me up when the model comes out where I can dial up a glass of wine or a beer followed by an aspirin--or any other drug for that matter. And where the deluxe model can print me out an iPhone or a new laptop.
In the meantime, I'm not interested in novelty roughcast plastic junk.
Like all technology, it'll takes a good 50+ years to be truly useful.
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
Oh, and I forgot. Just wait until the copyright and patent police start policing objects made this way. If you think software and AV copyright is bad enough now, home manufacturing of commonplace items will I'll be a bloody nightmare because of potential IP issues.
For starters, every machine will be nobbled for copyright and patent protection--not to mention nobbled from manufacturing items the state considers to be 'nasties' - AK47s for instance. The list will be huge.
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
This article reminds me of that (thankfully) short lived craze in the 70s when everyone and dog was encapulating stuff in clear resin.
Jewellry? Yes, have a sea horse in a block of stuff (with the obligatory fingerprint). Something to put on the mantlepiece? Yes, have a seahorse and a shell in a clear block with a bit of seaweed.
Car key organiser? Well, it's called a keyfob and, guess what? We can make you one with a sea horse set in an attractive clear block.
Looking for that diamond ring of your late mother? Well, look no further because little Johnny has encapsulated in clear resin along with a sea horse.
I am looking over my desk now to see what I have here that could be printed in white snot. Er, nothing. Could I use my car keys to be organised with white snotted plastic? Well, no, they are all kept on one keyring and they can't get more organised that that. No sorry, a great invention but not there yet.
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
I made an ashtray with embedded threepenny bits. Luckily did not include any of my mum's jewelry.
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
but it can make spoon holders as well no doubt humanity desperate quest for spoon holder has been fulfilled praise be unto the 3d printers providers of spoon holders!
Yeah I will get my coat it is one full of spoons.
@BongoJoe - Re: What a lot of rubbish.
Correct. And I wasn't kidding about the copyright and patent issues either (it's not my idea). The fact is the IP police are already mightily concerned about the technology--so are governments. This technology has the potential to manufacture drugs--dial-a-drug--as well as alter/assemble/grow genetic material.
Having it in the hands of the general public is causing much indigestion in administrative circles I can assure you.
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
> threepenny bits
thrupenny bits
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
THREEPENNY BITS! (But pronounced the way you think it is.)
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
I recommend this for more information on the policing of makers in the near future....
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
You forget why this stuff was invented, prototyping.
Yes it will be nice to print out circuits and devices. But even the terminator from T2 couldn't form complex shapes and machines "it doesn't work that way", but the one in T3 could.
And I wasn't kidding about the copyright and patent issues either
Well, you shouldn't be - it's a serious issue. If I spend money designing something to sell and someone scans it and gives away the specs, this is a problem.
I see 3D printing should work something like sheet music - just because it's the music rather than a recording you still normally pay for it. Likewise if you want to make something I designed, pay me for the blueprints.
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
Depends on the version of the technology you are talking about. Laser sintering is good enough to make parts for jet and rocket engines so I wouldn't hurry to write it off. As it happens the patents for that type of manufacture expire next year, so expect to see it get rapidly cheaper.
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
Plasticraft was awesome.
thrupenny bits
thrupenny bits, isn't that rhyming slang?
I know what I'd print with my 3D printer (see icon), thrupenny bits and all.
Re: And I wasn't kidding about the copyright and patent issues either
Well, you shouldn't be - it's a serious issue. If I spend money designing something to sell and someone scans it and gives away the specs, this is a problem.
On the other hand, if you buy something, and a cheap plastic part inside it breaks, because it was designed to wear out to fleece you for money for a replacement part, then being able to make your own replacement is the opposite of a problem, n'est-ce-pas?
Re: What a lot of rubbish.
"the terminator from T2 couldn't form complex shapes and machines [...] but the one in T3 could."
*pushes glasses up* Actually, T3's "T-X" is a hybrid of a Series 900 chassis surrounded with the mimetic-polyalloy of the T-1000. The advanced weapons are built into the base chassis and the polyalloy allows it to imitate human appearance for infiltration. (See also: http://terminator.wikia.com/wiki/Series_T-X)

I'd help too. I'd help hold their head under water – for a really long time . . .
With the number of vacant judicial seats nearing epidemic levels, one legislator is demanding some answers: professional judge-blocker Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).
During the Judiciary Committee's recent hearing on immigration reform, Sen. Cornyn complained that his home state of Texas was suffering from a shortage of immigration judges. Thousands of illegal immigrants cross the Southern border into Texas each year, Cornyn explained, many of them even "wearing some form of turban."
But not everyone is so concerned about the threat of turban-wearing border-crossers (nomadic Mexican Sikhs maybe?). While immigration judgeships are handled separately from district court judgeships, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) was dubious that Sen. Cornyn was really as concerned about filling vacancies as he claimed. Whitehouse questioned why he was asking for additional immigration judges when he hadn't even attempted to fill the existing district court vacancies in his state.
I don't see why you need additional judges when there have been multiple vacancies that have been left without nominees for years.
Sen. Cornyn, who hasn't recommended a judicial nominee in several years and voted against the confirmations of both of President Obama's Supreme Court nominees, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, as well as a number of the President's lower federal court nominees, blamed the White House for the vacancies:
Why don't you tell the White House to nominate some people? … The Constitution provides the president makes a nomination, and we provide advice and consent. So that's a condition precedent to our ability to act.
If you're hoping this is the part of the story where some older, takes-no-shit legislator steps in to remind Sen. Cornyn that he's the one undermining the judicial nomination process in the first place, you shan't be disappointed. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) explained to Cornyn and fellow Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) that they needed to recommend some candidates before the President would nominate anyone:
Based on 38 years experience here, every judgeship I've seen come through this committee during that time has followed recommendations by the senators from the state. You have to have recommendations from the senators.
Cornyn and Cruz pointed out that they had recently created a commission to vet potential judicial nominees. Naturally, Leahy asked whether the commission had actually made any recommendations, to which Cornyn responded:
Well it's uh, we're working on that. What is this, May? And we're trying to, we're trying — we're working on that.
Leahy, awesomely:
I would be happy to help you.
[springboard type="video" id="721291″ player="tddc001″ width="480″ height="400″ ]
I'd help too. I'd help hold their head under water – for a really long time . . .
Actually they're nomadic Guatemalan Sikhs.
Immigration Judges aren't Article III Judges, so they're two separate issues.
If he cares about how tax dollars are spent, as he claims, he should damn well care about the lack of judges in TX, as recently a judge had to be flown in from HAWAII to hear cases because there is such a backlog.

Recovering Local Distribution Costs
high levels of system usage provide high levels of contribution (revenues in excess of the marginal costs of providing access) and/or subsidy, while low-usage customers may provide no contribution at all (they receive a subsidy). The typical result is that not only do usage services subsidize access service, but high-usage customers subsidize low-usage customers.
Even if one mistakenly believed that all local distribution costs represented common production costs, usage charges should not bear the bulk of the recovery burden. The most efficient method of recovering costs that are truly common to multiple utility services is by obtaining the greatest degree of contribution (price exceeds marginal cost to the greatest extent) from services that are the least elastically demanded (those that are the least responsive to price changes). This method is sometimes called Ramsey pricing. It minimizes the degree to which customers substitute away from the efficient quantities of services because prices rise above what is efficient. Ramsey prices are also more likely to be sustainable in the face of competitive pressures. Utility customers are relatively sensitive to usage-based charges (the demand elasticity for usage is generally higher than for recurring monthly access or one-time charges). Recovering distribution costs largely through usage-based charges would prove relatively inefficient.
The Recurring Customer Charge. A second method of recovering the costs of local distribution is through a monthly recurring charge to customers simply for the option to obtain service and use the system. Such a charge offers the major advantage of standing completely independent of system usage. Usage charges can be set to more accurately reflect the marginal costs of usage. This approach will improve economic efficiency and consumer welfare. As a general principle, the most appropriate price structure or recovery mechanism is one that mirrors the structure of costs. Since the costs of local distribution facilities are generally not sensitive to usage, a monthly recurring customer charge (which is not sensitive to usage) is superior to recovering such costs through usage-based charges.
The One-time Connection Charge. A third method involves a one-time assessment for the capital costs of installing local distribution facilities. This method recognizes the franchise obligation as a cost causer and may well prove the most efficient for recovery of local distribution costs.
The costs of local distribution facilities may become largely sunk once facilities are placed; i.e., the facilities have no alternate value if customers choose not to use them. In particular, local distribution costs may be unaffected by the number of customers who actually sign up for service. These costs appear to be caused largely by the provider's franchise obligation to offer service to all potential customers within the service territory on a timely basis. To meet this obligation, utilities must place local distribution facilities well in advance of the time at which customers actually demand service. In some sense, the cost causer is the developer that initially plans and begins construction of homes and businesses. A one-time charge, assessed to the developer for the capital costs of placing local distribution facilities within that development, is probably the most efficient system

Beyonc mulling a cookbook isn't today's only literary news. Fisherman, newly minted Cooking Channel host and former illegal food service establishment operator Ben Sargent has landed a book deal. Heres the blurb from Publisher's Marketplace.
Host of Cooking Channel's Hook, Line & Dinner and Creator of the Underground Lobster Pound in Brooklyn, Ben Sargent's untitled seafood cookbook of food, travel, adventure, and storytelling, with 75-100 recipes and color photos, to Emily Takoudes at Clarkson Potter, for publication Summer 2013, by Steve Troha at Folio Literary Management (World).
So, the former "Dr. Claw" of Greenpoint has a book deal. Let's hope it's only a matter of time before the other Dr. Claw, best known for his assorted acts of international evil gets one, too. With all these celebrity cookbooks coming out, it's really long overdue.

About Brent
We have owned boats for many years. We have a 55ft sailboat in the same marina. We love this marina and the slip location, when this houseboat came up for sale we jumped on it. Nothing like it in this or other marina. Very rare opportunity to stay on the water in one of the calmest and best located slips in San Diego Harbor.
Brent purchased this house boat in 2013
Why Brent chose Mission Hills
Absolute best view from the marina. Great location when visiting San Diego. Very calm slip and lots of sunshine. Walking distance from airport. Great local restaurants. 10 minutes from downtown.
What makes this house boat unique
The beauty of the houseboat is its just like a house. Regular bathrooms, Kitchen, bedrooms etc. No dealing with complicated boat systems, lighting, small bathrooms, limited view. This is boat has been totally restored and located on the coveted M dock in the popular Sunroad marina.

Hotmail is web based with all your emails held on the Microsoft server so that you can access them from any machine. Why would you want to export them?

Scratching my head over this, I still collect and send my free Hotmail email on my pc using Outlook Express. Maybe they took away this for new accounts?
My incoming mail server is a POP3 server.

I use outlook express for my web mail (Gmail) .If you want to Export (save from Outlook); this is how.
Create a folder (e.g email) on your desktop Open Outlook and select the mail you want to save, then drag it to the folder you have just created.
it is then treated like any other document and can be edited in any way you choose.

Supplication Lyrics - Sami Yusuf
Allahumma salli 'ala,
Muhammadin an-Nabiyyi al-ummiyyi,
Wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallim.
(O Allah, send your peace and blessings upon our Master Muhammad, the Unlettered Prophet, and upon his family and companions.)
O My Lord,
My sins are like
The highest mountain;
My good deeds
Are very few
They're like a small pebble.
I turn to You
My heart full of shame,
My eyes full of tears.
Bestow Your
Forgiveness and Mercy
Upon me.
Ya Allah,
Send your peace and blessings
On the Final Prophet,
And his family,
And companions,
And those who follow him.

Travelmath helps you find the closest airport to any city, as well as a list of smaller local airports. You can use these pages to plan your trip and figure out the easiest way to get to your destination. Many times there are multiple airports near the city you want to visit, so you can often find a cheaper flight into a different airport. This is especially useful if you are getting a rental car, since it might be better to drive a bit farther in order to save money on airfare. If you're booking an international flight, you probably want the closest major airport, otherwise if you're a pilot you may be looking for a local airport. Use this tool along with the flight distance pages to plan your travel.

Chevrolet is testing a very peculiar MPV, one that isn't sold in the US but is wearing Michigan plates. On top of that, riveted bodywork aside, it sure looks suspicious with a bunch of Chevy Volts and a Ford Fusion Hybrid buzzing around it like flies. Upon closer inspection, our spy photographers say it's actually a test mule for a yet unannounced hybrid vehicle from General Motors, which will probably end up competing with the Ford C-Max Hybrid and Toyota Prius V.
After the swarm of GM engineers finally left the car alone, our photographers were able to move in and snap some shots up close. What they found was a heavily modified Chevrolet Orlando (which is sold in North America, but not the US) with tons of gas-electric hybrid components and testing gear scattered about the interior. The cargo area, for one, is stuffed with a battery and rudimentary cooling system comprised of tubes, and the battery's casing has a "High-Voltage" warning sticker affixed to it. No plug-in port is visible, leading us to suspect it's a straight-up hybrid. Our spy photographers were wondering if it was the Volt MPV5 concept testbed, which debuted at the Beijing Auto Show in 2010, but they have heard the MPV5 was cancelled to divert resources to the Cadillac ELR. No Voltec powertrain is suspected in this Orlando mule.
One of the telltale signs of a test mule for a new model – and not a new variant of an existing model – is body modification. From the riveted front end with Chevy Spark headlights to the lengthened cargo area, it's clear from the outside that major modifications have been done to the Orlando's body. After analyzing the pieced-together door panels, our spy photographers also believe the front doors were lengthened and the rear doors were shortened.
These Orlandos have been seen testing since early this year, buy they've been shrouded in mystery until now. They're still quite mysterious (is GM trying to fool us by testing them alongside a Fusion Hybrid instead of a C-Max Hybrid?), but the hybrid battery found in the cargo bay is our biggest clue yet.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) -- Anyone lose a giant head made of Styrofoam and fiberglass?
That's what officials at an upstate New York college are asking after the men's crew team found the unusual object floating in the Hudson River.
Officials at Marist College in Poughkeepsie say the team was practicing earlier this week when the coach spotted a large object floating near the river's west bank. He hooked a rope to it and towed it to the team's dock on the east bank.
The object turned out to be a 7-foot-tall replica of a man's head made with Styrofoam and fiberglass. The head has the appearance of a Greek or Roman-style statue.
College officials believe it's a theater prop, but so far no one has come forward to claim the giant head.

People forget Apple is now a megacap
- abnormalreturns
- November 30th, 2011
Apple is no stranger here to us at Abnormal Returns as we have written about it extensively. This week we have seen another burst of Apple posts driven by this graph of Apple's P/E ratio over time:
There are arguments aplenty about why Apple's valuation continue to contract. Some arguments have to do with the company's huge cash hoard. Others have to do with the company's lack of a dividend. Some even argue that Apple isn't even worth its cash on the balance sheet?!? Maybe it is much more simple than that. Ari Kuchinsky writes:
Even if Apple can meet its earnings projections for the next year, the climb higher will get tougher and tougher and the probability of meeting expectations goes down. Doubling $100 billion is much more difficult than doubling $1 billion. So while Apple owners may feel that the contraction of the earnings multiple is unfair, the market has spoken. It may feel unjust, but only price matters.
Research indicates that the largest company in a sector tends to underperform that sector for up to a decade. Maybe the situation is just that simple. Apple is now a megacap with the largest market cap in the sector. The stock is already a favorite with hedge funds. And it will require big products that the company is famous for introducing, like a new take on the TV, to move the needle appreciably.
Apple is no longer the scrappy company that produces ads based on 1984. In a certain respect Apple now is the establishment. In its chosen markets Apple is the leader. That is why other smartphone carriers target them in their ads. That is not to say that the stock can't outperform in the future, it just means that is going to be increasingly difficult for it to do so.
