Re: Startup problems

This may be the first thing you checked, but is the fan always spinning correctly? I'm wondering if the change in orientation is 'loosening' it enough, and otherwise it's overheating. That said, I'd expect an overheat to take a wee while - at least enough to see the BIOS. (the lines and colours thin...

Re: Sectorgame Steam Group

Does anyone on the Steam group not own Civilization V and want a copy? I just got one with my X-COM preorder, everyone I've directly asked already owns it. I would say no and then yes, but I hate taking things without offering recompense. (seriously. I often don't even take free biscuits at confere...

Re: Random Link Thread

Re: 3D-Printed Mini Ship Models!

There's a lot of research going into Additive Layer Manufacturing for airframes - I just came back from a spectacularly boring trip to a PhD conference at Airbus in Filton (where they make bit of the A380 and A400, in particular), and a good percentage of the postgraduate student funding is going i...

Re: 3D-Printed Mini Ship Models!

Yes, they use it for support structures, etc. One of the examples my Prof likes to show off is 3 concentric lattice spheres, and a fully functional mini-wrench, both of which were formed in one piece, no assembly required. Which in an of itself can save companies thousands. I agree with Gary, I'm s...
