End of the Internet Chaos Group / Chaos Software official website - home - V-Ray® - award winning, production-ready 3D rendering solutions Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report: Web Design News & Insights Since 1995 | Web design news and insights since 1995 The Micro Bit - Media centre One Laptop per Child ORNL unveils 3D-printed Shelby Cobra in Detroit It stands to reason that if you had a big enough 3D printer, one of the first things you might do is print a replica of a vintage 1965 Shelby Cobra sportscar, and that's what the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) did for the 2015 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. The result of a project that took only six weeks from conception to finished product, the vehicle not only celebrates the Shelby Cobra's 50th anniversary, but also acts as a demonstration of modern additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping technology. View all From the outside, the 1,400-lb (635-kg) ORNL Cobra looks like a well-made Shelby replica with an updated digital display, but it hides 500 lb (228 kg) of 3D-printed parts made of 20 percent carbon fiber. These make up the shell, the support frame, the passenger monocoque,and the grille. Even the headrest brackets are 3D-printed. The purpose of the 3D-printed Shelby isn't just to show that there's more than one way to make a car. Source: ORNL

Install Ubuntu Linux Alongside Windows 8 in 10 easy steps Introduction One of the most talked about topics of the last year has been the Windows 8 debacle and how it is now much more difficult to install Linux because of the UEFI secure boot system. I have just obtained my first laptop that contains Windows 8 and therefore my first laptop with UEFI and secure boot enabled. The hardware The hardware that I used to compile this guide is the Dell Inspiron 3521 laptop which you can pick up for around £400 at Argos. The Dell Inspiron 3521 has 6 gigabytes of RAM, an Intel core I3 processor, a 1 terabyte hard-drive and a 15.1 inch display. Strategy The actual strategy for installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 isn't much different to installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 7, Vista or even XP. 1. This is the most important step in the whole process, especially if you harbour any hopes of booting into Windows again should the worst happen.
