On June 27, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Grokster vs. MGM, a lawsuit over the legality of peer-to-peer networking. The decision creates a new form of copyright liability that goes to the heart of what MAKE is all about: making cool stuff out of other stuff and sharing it with the world.
We can now confirm that MAKE volume 03 can take a beatin’ and keep on readin’ ...a copy of Make volume 3, seen here after surviving 250 miles of river rafting down the Grand Canyon. Link.
Akenji took some photos at our packed MAKE session at OSCON (Open Source convention). The session had a bit of past DIY culture, crafting, Sony Librie e-ink hacking, PSP hacking, Linux on Ipods, high powered lasers and a lot of gadgetry. Link.
Wow, this sounds like a MAKE article! Our thoughts are with the Discovery crew! Once there, he’ll tug out the ceramic-fabric filler with his gloved hands. If that doesn’t work, he’ll use a makeshift hacksaw to cut away the material, which is sticking out about an inch from two spots near Discovery’s nose. The saw was improvised out of a blade, plastic ties, duct tape, Velcro and other items aboard the space station. [via] Link.
In MAKE 03 we have a great welding primer- If you need metal stuck together, there is no quicker path than buying a portable 110-volt wire-feed welder. Mr. Jalopy’s introduction to welding will help you understand the process and show how you can be a welder by the end of the weekend–and end up with a couple of jigs for the effort. Link. And now you can share your welds with the goodweld / badweld tags on Flickr!
