POPSBeam it Down From the Web, Scotty If you’ve ever wished you could buy your very own Star Trek-type replicator, you’re finally in luck. While not quite so instantaneous or hands-off, it is now actually possible to create a vase or spatula right on your desktop. And “3D printing,” as it is known, is a technology with incredible disruptive potential.\ While the potential for this technology outside the rapid prototyping market is vast, the eventual markets for 3D printing are not exactly known.

POPSVMware Player:Run iso files before installation
I put the url of a program that can check iso files on a hard disk in comments and another with VMplayer OS images.The clip might make more sense then I've often wondered how to check an Operating System before installing it, or even burning an iso file onto a Disk. One the main problems apart from the space, has been, after installing another operating system, in a dual boot, it can mess up the boot files of systems already loaded, if it is removed. This player allows booting of another system, or the running of an Appliance in another window without having to reboot, or partition the disks.This could have saved me a lot of trouble over the last month - at least I know more about disk partitions and boot files. They suggest 1GB of free space to give an internally booted system room. It is available for Windows, and Linux, and the site also has a range of other Virtual Appliances, both free, and commercial, is Open Source, and has a knowledge base, community, and Self-Help Support.

POPSMolecules & Skyscrapers The vat - made of shiny steel, with a glass window for the benefit of visitors - stands taller than a person, since it must hold the completed engine. Pipes and pumps link it to other equipment and to water-cooled heat exchangers. This arrangement lets the operator circulate various fluids through the vat. To begin the process, the operator swings back the top of the vat and lowers into it a base plate on which the engine will be built. The top is then resealed. At the touch of a button, pumps flood the chamber with a thick, milky fluid which submerges the plate and then obscures the window. This fluid flows from another vat in which replicating assemblers have been raised and then reprogrammed by making them copy and spread a new instruction tape (a bit like infecting bacteria with a virus). These new assembler systems, smaller than bacteria, scatter light and make the fluid look milky. Their sheer abundance makes it viscous.
