Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'm going to try that, and cross my fingers that they won't need to send a technician to install it. (Which they did when I upgraded to the HD package in the first place because someone at Cablevision HQ forgot to activate my account. Why I couldn't have solved that myself over the phone I have no idea.)
Have I mentioned yet how much I loathe this company and every interaction I've ever had with them? Because I really do. They are making me miss TWC, which I never thought was possible.
Robots that make things. Hot. Want.
Can it make a copy of itself?

Oh yeah, I've wanted one of those for ages. Currently the only affordable way of getting one is making a kit (which is what ita's link is).
Hmmm... $750 is pretty cheap, even for a kit. I'm gonna have to seriously consider this one.
Maybe b.org should just get one. Then we can have the Buffista Fabrication Lab. Just think of all the tiaras and steampunk rayguns and whatnot we could make....
is the parent company Cyberdyne? no John Henry for me, thanks!
Can it make a copy of itself?
From here:
This machine is what the RepRap community calls a 'RepStrap' machine, meaning it can be used to print out a 'real' RepRap machine. With this machine you can print out additional 3D printers to build you stuff. Awesome!
Robots that can make things = bad! Did no one watch Stargate?
Wait, don't answer that...
On the offhand chance that anyone has an idea, we're trying to diagnose a problem with our computer.
Desktop, five years old. Problem started with a crash when trying to wake from hibernation.
1) One of the two disks that make up the RAID array claims to have a problem on bootup, but it boots into the OS just fine, and scans say it has no problem. I'm guessing it's something that went funky when the machine crashed.
2) We've got serious video artifacts on the screen. They're present from the second the computer boots, so it's not a Windows thing.
3) Computer sometimes spontaneously reboots. Doesn't appear to be an overheating issue -- we've opened the case and cleaned it, and it's running with the case open.
I've tested the memory (2GB) and it's fine. My best guess is that the motherboard is starting to fail. Any opinions?
Sounds like motherboard, CPU, or power supply. Have you tried clearing CMOS with a jumper?
