Hook it up to one of HP's new 3-D printers and you have a replicator. Okay, the replicas are all just plastic, but who doesn't plastic replicas of small artifacts?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some blog (I think it's Make Magazine) has had a series of posts about a 3-D printer that's available as a kit. I think it's around $1000, considerably cheaper than the $15,000 for the HP 3-D printer....

Hook it up to one of HP's new 3-D printers and you have a replicator.

Must have. Now.

As long as you don't mind it being entirely made of plastic.

Plus it might not be as hot as you like.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a machine that makes Earl Grey already. I call it a "kettle".

Did you know that the latest version of Microsoft's IIS server can detect an infinite loop and handle it gracefully?

On the downside, this makes detecting that you have an infinite loop more difficult.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yup, that's the current issue of Make.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yeah, that's what they're doing today....
