reprap... when i was reading you talking about it... i got about a half second of joy... followed by the legal issues that will jump up from this are too great to imagine fear.

It will be alright. The non-free world will have to comply when the free world shoots ahead of it.

All I can say is amazing! If only we could get it to make fossil fuels to make the plastic! Problem solved.
