I'll be more interested when they find out how to print bullets. Till then they don't change much in the countries with outlawed guns.

Coming at this from a disadvantage, we don't have guns here any more, as awesome as they are.
Some muppet went around shooting a school and they were all taken away... least it stopped that from happening again I suppose.
Still hoping to get to use them next year in the UOTC

Been reading the news over here, the BBC are having kittens over it, portraying the developers as borderline psychopaths ect.
Because in BBCland, who else would want to own a gun?

Fine metalworking and hand-sculpting wax models to make molds for casting-- easily replaced by a guy with a 3D design app and a 3D printer. That's one of those old apprentice to journeyman to master craftsman occupations. Kind of sad to see it go.
Game's workshops also bricking it. But the real potential for economic pain is Ford, GM, Volkswagen and Toyota. A Garage could have a 3d Printer in the back and print out replacement parts for a private inventory. A hobbyist or a competent Mechanic could print an entire car and not need to pay anything but the material costs. I bet when metal based ones of sufficient quanity start coming near commercialised there will be open source car designs.
I was born too late for the Internet, I was born on time for this, booya.

Aye, its still a complicated task but it makes it more accessible to more people. Cassette tapes in the post could pirate things, but bit torrent just lowered the bar to entry is what I mean. As I understand the car sales model, Corporations break even with the vehicles themselves and make their profits from selling replacement components. Should the means of production be in the public's hands, why would you overpay for replacements? It could contract the market size in economic, but expand it in absolute terms. Bit like the music industry.

Gene Roddenberry would be so proud. Aye, so would Lenin now I think about it.
I always knew Communism and Capitalism would eventually become indistinguishable. Already have socialised healthcare, education and water, bring on the rest. 
We haven't cracked food yet, I know a few people working on hydroponics projects though so theoretically it could happen....

Well we work better in office scenarios from what I understand, so there will still be that. Telepresence has only gotten us so far, and Skype is an adhoc arrangement but personal contact is preferable if available.

In what way is that the merger of communism and capitalism? Socialized tax-funded healthcare, education, and utilities are anathema to voluntary exchange and have nothing to do with capitalism. Whats the difference between a Megacorporation and a Communist state?
And the above seems to be working out pretty sweet in Scotland, might be a cultural thing.
