wow, that machine is amazingly cheap. The CNCs I've worked with were about 30000USD. How are the results? Does the lack of an auto-tool changer get annoying?

A typical PCB milling machine would cost 30000USD at the lower end. But looking at boards produced by this machine, it doesn't come close to the quality of a milled board. I think you could probably develop a milling machine with a sim

Could be, but I don't think the report shows that. In fact it states: "Many scientists, both critics and supporters, have expressed concern that the experimental methods we have used have not adequately established that causation

If you don't have a job in the UK you need 60K GBP in cash to get a spouse VISA. So that requirement is in line with current Immigration policy. My guess is as another commenter points out, those are just some possible sources and as l

Fortunately in this modern version of war you can "kick the soldiers out" of your server by bringing it down and re-imaging it. And they won't turn around and shoot you, but that is not all that comforting somehow.

If he really does own a patent ( http://www.google.com/patents/US20090043584 referenced above). Then I can kind of see the argument. He's provided a BSD licensed implementation, but you don't have a license to

After the comments I've seen here I'm tempted to see it. But it was a big budget flop in Japan (cost 50MUSD, (compared to 6MUSD for Kiki's deliver service) and took 25MUSD at the box office). I think this may partly be becaus

To elaborate on the economic troubles I think part of the problem is possibly the lack of a successor to Miyazaki. His son's work is often considered quite poor [2] and there's no clear successor to Miyazaki who often announces hi

Ouch, I've never heard to that happening that's insane. Care to name and shame the journal?

It depends on the journal perhaps. But wherever I've submitted I've had to send ages getting the paper into "journal style", reformatting references etc. Yes they mangle it again after that, but they still put a huge amo

It's an awesome page. I would guess one of the reasons it's here though is that it's almost required reading for Google interviews, #DetermineIfPowerOf2 is a particular favorite.

That's really great to hear. Aside from this web page I'd unfortunately never heard of his work before. If you have any references I'd be interested in reading them. It's interesting that the wikipedia pages on the Manch

Yep, when I was hiring I tried to do that as much as possible as well. Bring people on for short contracts and then go fulltime (which obviously then brought equity) if it made sense. Now I'm back working freelance, I also prefer that.

FOSS has value in other places too. In particular it has value when software isn't your core business. As such, you develop instrument software, analysis tools, support tools etc. which supports your core business and give it away for
