Someone in my Google Circle posted this, and I thought it was fascinating.

To Build a Lunar Base with 3D Printing

I wonder how user friendly this will be if used with 7 ?.




Anyone care to hazzard a guess as to how long it will be before the older versions of Office go the same way as XP !!!.

I would recommend those of a sci-fi bent to try the Deaths' Head series by David Gunn:

I will leave it to the words of Neal Asher (Himself a great author):

"Loaded with violent action...I was hooked. Starship Troopers meets Schwarzenegger's Commando".

It's worth reading just for the AI gun

I've also just realised that i need to get the third book in this series

A "Sleeper" movie or film is one that perhaps should have garnered more attention than it did at the box offices, but was enjoyed by a surprisingly large number of people. Sometimes they are genre-based but oftentimes the critics just missed their mark.

To me, this is one of these great "Sleeper" movies and it's called: Dark City - circa. 1998
Watch it here if you like as it's 1 hr, 45 minutes...

From Georgia Tech's Engineering Dept. comes Shimone the digital marimba player and a rather cute drummer. The robot learns to improvise as it plays to the beat and is quite animated.

While outside this morning, just before dawn, I chanced to look up (as I often do, to watch the stars) and saw a "UFO". It wasn't some alien spacecraft, of course (at least I don't THINK it was), but a single, steady, bright (apparent magnitude of at least 0) light, moving fairly quickly (at first) from west to east. I watched it go until it dropped below the horizon, and was completely thrilled. I have to assume that it was a satellite, because of the following:

1.) It was moving quickly enough (at first) that, were it an aircraft, I would have seen the strobes and side-lights, which I did not.
2.) The further east it got, the slower it seemed to go.
3.) As it got closer to the Sun (which was still below the horizon), the dimmer it got.

It took around 2 minutes for it to get from nearly directly overhead to a point below the mountains to the east of me, 2/3 of which was from about 45 degrees from zenith to the horizon. I'm reasonably certain that it wasn't the ISS, because of the west-to-east direction, but I haven't verified this yet.
