> Given sufficient time, it seems inevitable that we will have a 3D printer medium capable of containing the high pressure of even a rifle.

Materials science doesn't magically provide you with new materials and and structural side effects just because you give it enough time.

The physical properties of 3D printed stuff, be it full metal parts or plastics are typically a notch below that of the same substance when used in a reductive setup (ie, milling, turning, drilling etc).

The reason for that is that depositing the material layer by layer from a grain or a wire (or a fluid) means that you have to fuse all those layers. Essentially a solid, defect free chunk of a hardwood tree is about as good as it gets when you are composing from parts (molecules in that case).

And the hardest of hardwoods can just about compete with the softest of the metals used for structural elements (but are still a notch above most plastics).

Cast metal (also an additive process) still requires some re-work, and 3D printed parts that have to be made to a certain precision require (skilled) re-work as well.

It is possible that you are right but at the moment that is pure speculation and I don't think it seems inevitable at all.

The one exception I would like to make to all this is a single-shot, single-use firearm. That might be possible, something that would just need one round, and which you'd dispose of after firing. The accuracy would be horrible (no way to sight it in) and it would be a pretty bulky thing compared to its efficiency but I think that might be possible, even with todays printers. Extrapolating from that to future materials you might get more accuracy but I doubt you'd ever go over that single shot unless the gun is to be as much a risk to the user as it is to the target.

On another note, a fake gun is sometimes just as effective as a real one, and printing fake guns is definitely a possibility.

2 things always bothered me about poker sites:

1. No one ever takes a look if the code that is run by these poker sites is indeed valid.

2. No one ever knows what happens with the poker players money once it's been deposited and it's never clear how easy it is to get it back.

There should be some kind of independent organism checking if the site is credible or not. Now the thing checking these sites are their users...
Itch Scratching: Brad Fitzpatrick's DjangoCon keynote (slides + video)
I wondered if this might be a better angle - an ability to hire someone for a specific day each week. Not going to suit everyone, but it would mean that startup types could work the other 3-4 days without being distracted by the other project.

Otherwise, replacing a day job with a contract job might not be the biggest gain.
I make it short:
1. Of course
2. You write a script. Or simply use something out of the Systems Management Product Family (awesome btw)
3. WMI or Powershell should do the job.

You rarely write custom code when scripting....most use cases a covered by a huge library MS offers. The rest is available through google :)

We have run large Windows Server Farms at my past company (SaaS Business) and maybe 3-4 Linux Servers...the ones causing the most trouble where the Linux ones. One reason: Every dummy can administrate a Windows machine....not so a Linux machine! That fact forced the Ops team to get rid of the Linux machines as quick as the could.

Cell phone jammer is a device interfere the phone communication 
Cell phone jammer is a device which can interfere the phone communication. Before I really know it, I always think that is a big and accurate device. But when I touch with it find that the cell phone jammer indeed small, it even as big as a box of cigarettes. Certainly, the jammer I said is the hand-held jammer, its work rang only within 10-30 meters. Like in large-scale assembly room or Movie Theater need use of interference range wider jammer, and this kind signal jammer bigger than the hand-held jammer, they about as big as a small suitcase.

I think the idea is more that ineffective (or at least terribly inefficient) programs would be much less likely to survive in such an environment. If program a is designed to achieve effect B, some people will argue for it because they think that B is desirable, and others will argue against it because they think that B is undesirable, or because it produces some side effect C which they find undesirable. However, if it is shown that program a does not achieve effect B, or is terribly inefficient at doing so, then even proponents of effect B would have to agree that it should be eliminated. Presumably, those proponents would then push for some new program aimed at achieving effect B, but that's a separate issue.
Muscle Improvements
Lot of people do not know what to do in a gym and do not know use of the most of the machines. You might not be that bothered about having a weekly workout plan. If your plan is to build muscle the sooner you start planning your workouts, the sooner you will see muscle improvements. You should not workout for all muscle groups on a single day, exercises should be planned so that each muscle groups get the right amount of training and rest.

Summary : Machines that have the "Windows 8" logo must have UEFI, which means the bootloader must be signed with a key that's in the BIOS. Additionally the OS can use the keys to check other signed code : device drivers etc.

My conclusion : A smart vendor will include a signed program that will manage said keys in the BIOS.

I really like the idea of QuickCheck. Presumably it is -best- used in conjunction with unit testing. It seems to me though that it would be suitable mainly for numeric type code, given the random nature of the inputs?
Here in India, Microsoft is famous only because the pirated version is freely available from anywhere, thorough anyone at anytime.That's the only reason why everybody uses it all the time.

Take away the free option, and the non industry consumers will just dump their OS. What is stopping Linux from ruling the Desktop market is a awesome UI.

Now, I decide to buy a netbook for browsing and light development. I can save upto 1500 rupees on the OS if I go in for a pre loaded freeDOS version. So this is what I have decided, to buy a good HP netbook which comes close to 15000 rupees. Install Ubuntu LTS version on it. Remain hassle free for the next two years. And spend the saved 1500 rupees on buying a good headphone to listen to music.

I don't see any reason why I must remotely feel the need to use Windows anymore. Unless ofcourse I need to work on a word document. Most of the times OpenOffice is sufficient, if it isn't I just walk upto the next DTP store around my place, pay the guy 20 bucks and get the work done in an hour.

He is so wrong about nearly everything he says.

First you can't get money out of politics and you wouldn't want to anyway, because when the next Huey Long comes around, who is going to defend your business?

Second the higher the tax rates the less income you loose buy not working that extra hour. Since working has a cost, wear and tear on a car if you do deliveries, payment to have somebody take care of your children, etc this point will be meet before you would think it would be.

With regards to a corporation, the more expensive you make its operation, the more you help foreign corporations.

Finally the issue isn't lack of taxes, it is wasteful military spending, particulary in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not because the US isn't fighting efficiently but because they hsouldn't have been there in the first place.

Personally I would solve the budget crisis by getting most tropes home, reduce the army to one fifth, double the size of the elite forces (and use them to take out Bin Laden rather than occupy Afghanistan).

So long as the US has nukes, nobody is going to invade and there will never again be a world war two style clash of titans (because it would go nuclear and be done with before the soldiers could even be called up).
Swagvault game item
Most of the startups that are signed up have requested to work on short-term gigs (1-2 months long) full-time. Meaning, they focus on their contracting gig full-time and their startup part-time during that period. We only accept short-term projects on the platform, ranging from a week to 3 months tops.

Also, we've seen larger startups (4 or more people) that need to bootstrap tend to only give up a portion of their team to take a contracting gig while the rest of the team focuses on the startup. Not unlike raising a round of funding.
I wouldn't care if my employees did five minutes of work at home per day as long as they get things done in similar amounts compared to their peers.

And user-agent sniffing (guessing from the 'lying to be safari' comment) is the right way to go here? Really?

If you don't want to support 'every browser under the sun' and really think that looking at the user-agent is a good idea (It's not..): Show a small notice that the experience might be degraded. Politely. And still serve your content to the user that is interested in what you have to offer.

Doesn't seem to actually do anything related to people. IE, it isn't like Google went and ran face recognition on every picture on the web.

Rather it seems to be looking for similar composition and colors, which is pretty unlikely to bring you anything related to the person you 'search for' unless that composition is very unique.

Works pretty well for paintings and such though. IE, it is more like Google Goggles for the desktop.
Remember that Haskell datatypes are very rich. QuickCheck will generate random instances of any datatype you define. Because Haskell datatypes are so expressive,. t's normal for Haskell programmers to define complex types for their functions to process. Hence you can easily get good coverage of any idiomatic Haskell code with QuickCheck.

If you're working in a datatype poor language, or simply one where the syntax makes defining complex datatypes painful then you're much more likely to pass around datatypes which are in implicitly defined. In this case you'll have to write a QuickCheck function to generate suitable instances in order to test your code. (This is also true for Haskell: there are often a few functions where you have to explain to QuickCheck how to generate appropriate test cases.)

Google+ Hangouts API - available now
The article is confusing. Why does it mention Facebook right in the headline? Hangouts looks like a replacement for Skype and real life. I can only imagine an effect on Facebook if G+ lures many people into moving their personal face-to-face social time online.

That said, Skype needs competition, so I don't mind...
Suggest HN: Klout for blogs
There's no way to autonomously rank and score blog influence. Someone should build something of the sort. I'd imagine a hosted script ala Google Analytics would be a good way to track visitor activity, and tie that in with some sort of influencer rankings, to have a single, objective directory of blogs ranked by the influence they have. The reason for this: To prevent so-called hotshot bloggers from charging excessive media fees.

In my experience, hiring programmers is difficult because it's difficult to find the right people ... but once they're in a room with you, it's easy.
Having a quick read through the code (so I might have missed something) but the URL is generated from a substring of an SHA hash, does this not mean, at least in theory, URLs could be duplicated?

With a hex hash at 6 chars, there are a possible 16,777,216 unique URLs (Probably not an issue, unless you're bit.ly). But when there have been 1,677,721 URLs generated, there is a 10% chance a URL will be duplicated, at 8,388,608 there is a 50% chance, and so on. While those numbers are very high and probably not an issue, it's worth considering this probably wouldn't work on a large scale (Though I'm sure it wasn't designed too)

Not really a criticism, I still think this is a great example of how simple Node is, just an observation

Microsoft employee's phone tweet leads to ouster
What do you mean by "this type of post"?
Every dummy can administrate a Windows machine....not so a Linux machine! That fact forced the Ops team to get rid of the Linux machines as quick as the could.

So you choose a inferior mediocre alternative just because you can hire mediocre folks to handle it(you mentioned 'dummy'). Ultimately having sufficient technical debt to make your miserable for the next decade.

Linux command line isn't very upfront friendly for sure, but its strength lies in automating as much as you can, programatically. When you talk of administration things go beyond cleaning up files and giving access to users. You must have abilities/tools to quickly hack up solutions to programming problems while problems in operations. That's why bash/sed/awk/perl and other Unix text processing utilities are so big on the server side. Unix forms a complete programming ecosystem in itself apart from being an OS.Windows command line is not just weak but literally useless in this area.

Its like saying just because anybody can use notepad, Emacs is useless.

What's the reason for the valid_url_pattern in shortener.js?

/https?:\/\/([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(\/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?/

Why? This seems to be broken by design (I can construct invalid urls that match and find valid urls that don't. What's the idea behind this expression, why is it necessary?

And looking at the code it just seems to prepend 'http:// to the url if it doesn't match this expression?
strange that the hangouts api doesn't support simple message broadcasting. instead it maintains a shared state object. anyone know why? you could hack message broadcasting on top of the state object but that seems awkward.
I use ubuntu but surely my harddrive is full of malware (boot system compromised). Linux is for hacker playing with backdoors. I like free software and linux, but if I need a secure system, I should have to pay the prize of using windows 8.

> A stamping machine isn't particularly easier to come by than a good boring machine, in my opinion.

A basic shop press which is sufficient to stamp AK receivers can be had for under $200. That's not even in the same league as basic CNC equipment, and hardly out of reach for anyone that decided they wanted to homebrew a receiver.

>I completely disagree with that.

As 0x12 also notes, you're being hugely optimistic about the material sciences involved. Even when using steel, barrels are either milled or hammer-forged, not cast, to achieve sufficient strength.

Even when you're talking about small parts, like extractors, MIM[1] parts are absolutely notorious for being prone to breakage or being out-of-spec.

Color me highly skeptical that plastic-based additive printing is going to catch up to or surpass what we know about metalworking any time soon.

Which is why my employer really doesn't use Outlook/Exchange for email, or Sharepoint for the intranet, or IIS for the public website, or ActiveDirectory to manage logins and whatever else it does, or ....

Maybe you mean, "nobody uses only Windows as a server OS"? But even tho that would work for my employer (we also have Linux and AIX) and probably all large companies (including Microsoft?), I'm sure there are a ton of smaller ones it doesn't apply to.
