RepRap Up for Award
The RepRap blog points out that they've been nominated for an award at Sourceforge, for the category "Project for Most Likely to Change the Way You Do Everything". Contribute to the nomination with your vote, and help support the vision of decentralized universal manufacturing. It is my prediction (and that of many others) that this sort of manufacturing will eventually lead to post-scarcity, on an unknown timeframe.
RepRap was recently used to make circuit boards. I strongly support pre-MNT based decentralized manufacturing systems, because I think they could serve as "training wheels" for dealing with the future challenges of MNT, as long as they improve quickly enough.
