Have you ever tried to take a picture from a moving car? They never turn out.

I'm sorry, as cool as this looks, I can't imagine it being as accurate or durable as a reprap build. I really doubt if those plastic lead screws and chains will hold up for hundreds of hours of printing. Also, I'm guessing it won't be competitive on price with the myriad sub-$500 reprap printers. So what's the selling point?

Either we feed our species, or we die. Granted, we as Americans eat too much and waste too much, but even if we all stuck to 2000 calories a day and cleaned our plates doing it, 19th century and prior farming techniques would simply not support our current population. And I disagree with your last sentence. Fertilizers and pesticides don't replace dirt, they make it more effective at growing crops.

Definitely a gem of a museum if you're ever in KC.

Not if big oil has any say in the matter. I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, but after watching "Who Killed the Electric Car?" I'm convinced that the interests of the oil industry are why EV's don't dominate the auto industry today.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I get behind someone that barely makes it to 55 mph at the end of an on-ramp merging into 70 mph traffic.

Why hasn't it occurred to anyone before now that surely all surgeons are not created equal? As an engineer, I can't legally share examples of my work with potential employers because it's owned by the company I work for. Does anyone know if this applies to surgeons too? Can potential employers of surgeons request to see these videos to assess their performance?

The Seikis almost sound too good to be true. I'd try one out in a heartbeat if they'd come down a notch in size to ~27 or 30in so I could actually fit it on my desk.

e- just did the ppi calculation and it only comes out to 113, so probably not what I'd call "retina" quality
