I have some water wells in the areas of Texas mentioned, and I will tell you this. The state of Texas does not need a newspaper from England cherry picking data and fashioning conclusions. Texas regulates water well output by permit, and this is related to the particular underground aquifers in the area that the permit is in. Therefore, there is no problem such as what is described by the Guardian. If the State determines that one aquifer is going low, it will simply reduce the allotment for wells in that area. There are also Stage 1 thru Stage 6 drought restriction formulas in use.

What do people do with 3D printer?
Is there a commercial use for it?
Mass production technology will still most like to dominate the market for the foreseeable future.
3d printer may be good for prototyping and small market item.
That's mostly true; on the other hand, you have stuff like Contour Crafting and the Chinese equivalent ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=587121.0), which are basically very large 3d printers designed to print whole houses (well, not including wiring/plumbing, though these can be laid out by the machine anyway). I don't think it's mostly true, because even though the per item cost may be less for injection molded plastic items, the consumer had to go out to get them - add driving time and so forth, the part is then much more expensive than if it had just been made in the garage.

No difference than the 'Erased Tapes' from the Watergate scandal of the 70's. Actually, this may be worse. Lack of media outrage would imply their condoning the distraction of evidence by this Administration.
Far worse than the erased tapes issue. Remember, Nixon really only had that ONE scandal. Reagan really only had Iran/Contra. Here we've got Bengazi, Fast and Furious, IRS, Iraq, Syria, basically the list is about as long as the activities that the klutze Obama has had his hands in. And this is an agency doing the stonewalling and lying, at the highest levels. That is actually much more serious than if say, the POTUS lied about something. It means the agency has been corrupted. That has implications, particularly since the issue at stake is whether the agency was improperly influenced to attack conservatives. So they cover up corruption with lying....

Yes but they deal in the impossible today. So maybe one day circuits then BOOM technology explosion.
I am not going to argue that, after all this IS the 21st century.

I have some doubts that it will work properly in micro-gravity.
May I know why, I'm curious ? I suspect the reason is that gravity is involved in the process of laying down the layers. Micro-gravity may affect this. I don't think so, but that'd be easy to test....run a 3d printer upside down or sideways. One obvious issue is that at startup, the extruder head comes up to speed. As it does, the filament starts oozing out. then the thing goes to a start point, starts laying a thread down and goes to the build position. With the standard printer in zeroG, the ooze would just accumulate on the extruder head, which would be a big mess. So there are minor differences. Enough to probably keep one Hacker Maker busy for a few hours. Or a NASA department in perpetuity.

Oh noes! They're going to be printing guns in outer space!!!
Seriously, I wonder what micro gravity will do to the layering.
This is a good question, for sure it will affect the layering in a way or another. I'm waiting to see how will this work, as I like the 3D printing field. What do people do with 3D printer? Is there a commercial use for it? It's used in many applications, and yes, commercial ones, latest applications, was guns, which really killed people. The only people killed by 3D printed guns were the people firing them. Isn't the gun one time use only? No. AR15 receiver was tested up to 200 rounds. This is still a joke, commercial parts 100k is nothing.

^If you really want a good dose of propaganda turn on MSNBC at any time and watch the panel of pimps selling you down the river. They're just so outlandish that it'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. Progs eat that stuff up as much or more than the righties do on Fox.
are you serious? all that fud that goes on fox? climate change deniers. wall street apologists. i mean, for fuck's sakes, sarah palin was a regular contributor for a few years. there seems to be a lot of republicans or conservatives on bitcointalk. we are talking about a party that uses the word "professor" and "intellectual" with airquotes, as if it were some dirty word. i don't watch MSNBC because they are boring.. not because they say more crazy shit than fox. hell, i think fox gets some viewers just because of the crazy shit they say. i even had a girl tell me she watched it just for that sake. Are YOU serious? What if fuck's name is anyone smart enough to be posting on bitcointalk.org doing watch outdated broadcast and cable "news" of any sort? I cut off directv three years ago, and man that was the smartest thing I ever did. Now we have this cool home theater rig that does youtube, and movies. No bullshit. I read Instapundit and Drudge to find out what's going on. Turning that hypnobox off best thing we ever did.

They are looking at if you could print out the parts to make a moon base, using the raw materials of the moon dust.
3d printing is also very exciting for long space missions where you cant take a spare everything.
I wonder if someone will breakthrough and make 3d printable circuits to print into the output models and make them even more functional.
Yes, fractions of the moon dust are usable as feedstocks for 3d printing. However, most of the thinking on this subject is fairly primitive, hovering around things like can we make moon houses, roads, brick, etc. 3d printable circuits. No. Can't make them. Maybe certain sensors. For example, make a rod, a spiral and a pointer and you pretty much have an uncalibrated thermometer. Calibrate later by engraving marks in the stick. The big win would be to print on the moon an engine that ran on solar energy. Would have to be a air cycle engine, in turn that means it would need something of a working gas, slight pressure vessel, mirror.

Well, I have an associate's degree in IT and I can tell you this is total BS. They should have had backups and, even if they didn't, any competent IT professional should have been able to extract the data from the defunct hard drives involved.
You assume people holding the job is a competent personal. The servers hold the data, and it's backed up daily. Law requires archiving this stuff. All you are looking at is a legal defense, a refusal to hand the data over. Unfortunately, actions have consequences. US Tax collection is unusual in that it's based on voluntary compliance, unlike many countries such as Italy and Greece, where the national sport is tax evasion. These sort of actions by the IRS for short term political gain will have longer term negative consequences, if the agency's standing and reputation for unbiased fair enforcement is damaged. I believe this should be stated pretty much in past tense at this point.

What do people do with 3D printer?
Is there a commercial use for it?
Umm....last week...let's see, I made.. Bottle caps, parts racks, knobs with bolt insert, drone camera gimbal parts, water hose nozzles, samsung phone case. Plastic junk, basically. The sort of things that stores are full of.

They should have a 3d printer on board the ISS. It will be useful for printing spare parts when things get broken. An advanced 3d printer could print circuit boards too. I think 3d printers will play a key role in building stations on the moon or other planets.
So..let's reduce this to essentials. In the past, NASA drove innovation, creating wonders such as integrated circuits. In the present, hackers and makers create an entire industry called "3d printing", mainstream is just starting to catch on, and NASA gets on board five years late. Way to go, Hackers and Makers!

" Twitter posts and conversations will be examined "to identify individuals mobilised in a social contagion and when they become mobilised" To all Bitcoiners of a revolutionary bent, say hello to TwisterA few years back there was rioting in London - the rioters weapon of choice was the Blackberry - apparently its messages could be sent anonymously. The police were always one step behind - the riots were spontaneous in nature, but faciltated by anonymous comms. The British response to the likelihood of impending civil unrest is somewhat more old school than the Minerva Research Initiative - the Mayor of London has just invested in the good old, tried and tested water cannon..... The instant messaging flashmob response to that should be to re constitute the mob at a slightly varying location every minute or so, leading the water cannons in a circle. Or to the pre designated point where they sink into mud, are attacked by massive quantities of fire ants, or various other entertaining possibilities. I guess, though, water cannon would be useful in protecting fixed sites like national monuments from being vandalized.

The ISIS is receiving American weapons from the Saudis in Syria, and using them to kill the Christians (Assyrians / Chaldeans) and Yazidis in Kirkuk and Mosul. Great work USA!
It's fair to state that the people in the USA are not in the same state of mind they were in with Vietnam. There, many believed we were in it wrongly. They supported our getting out, regardless of whether South Vietnam then collapsed. Which of course it did. Nobody I know, left or right, has been in favor of such a departure from Afghanistan or Iraq. Nobody I know supports the choices in use or non-use of military action by Obama. Probably the reason is that while it seems to not make any sense, it actually makes no sense. If it isn't obvious, Obama is more or less covertly supporting Muslim constituencies as opposed to Christian, in regions where the US has vested interests. D'Souza argued that Obama was philosophically more of an anti-colonialist than Muslim, effectively anti-American. I think that's true but would add "confused anti-colonialist".

It's nice that he spoke to the same people driving their hybrid Prius at 85mph in the HOV lanes. Not once have I ever heard this president actually urge people to consume less. To think about whether they need something before buying it. Then again his pitiful economic recovery requires spending every last cent of credit on whatever item you can get...Teddy was a much better steward of the environment. Exactly. Note that isn't true of every style of economic recovery. We could have an "economic recovery" by creating wars. We could have an "economic recovery" by committing to a crash program to colonize Mars. Or by committing to reindustrialize. Or to put a 3d printer in every home. To see that "every family owned some bitcoin." Best to NOT let politicians get involved in things like this.

You guys are such clowns. You make fun of all these little terms people invent then you use stuff like "environmental imperialism". Is that like "environmental communism" or "environmental democracy" ?
I've parsed your grammar in your posts and analyzed all 158 of them. Hello, paid troll. I hadn't visited here since I started being paid. I did visit though and this is what I saw. At least I have valid points. I'm gonna give up being paid though, it was just an experiment and a big waste of time at that. Please though, continue on with your analysis of my posts. I would like you to learn something. edit - Also, I've not been "paid" yet. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) All $.33 per post. rofl. A little honesty can go a long way toward gaining respect.

Two days later, he was sacked by email. The IPS said: "We would like to inform you that we are terminating your position as an Associate Fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies...Unfortunately, we now feel that your views on key issues, including climate science, climate justice, and many aspects of US policy to Africa, diverge so significantly from ours." Yep... "Climate justice" is science fact... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) He just spoke the truth. In the WSJ OpEd entitled Sacrificing Africa for Climate Change, Rossiter argued that Africans should benefit from the same mixed energy policy as Americans rather than being denied access to fossil fuels on spurious environmental grounds by green activists. He wrote: "The left wants to stop industrialization - even if the hypothesis of catastrophic, man-made global warming is false."
But the Institute for Policy Studies ("Ideas into Action for Peace, Justice, and the Environment") is ideologically committed to ensuring that Africans only enjoy the benefits of expensive, intermittent, inefficient renewable energy such as wind and solar.The idea that Africa would be kept under the boot heel of imperialism, morphed into environmental imperialism is unacceptable. A bit part of the philosophical basis behind this nonsense is coming from Britain.

There are big differences between that Christianity and Islam. they are able for compensations but at a much smaller scale than it actually happens. and from the religious point of view Christianity is weaker than Islam, much weaker, proof being their status today.
Agreed. Christians need to stop turning the other cheek, start beheading people in the name of their God, and seek solace in living in dirt floored hovels in between their calls to prayer to honor their God. Better yet, they should all just be killed in the name of hollow snackbar.+1

...the answer I here commonly these days is he's trying but the republicans are stopping him. That is no excuse, what was expected when he took office I wonder?
Look, everything was Bush's fault UNTIL the Republicans started stopping him from accomplishing anything.
