    I can't recall exactly where I saw it, but last week I saw an image sequence of someone CNC-milling a 9mm gun casing out of a solid block of metal. We live in a pretty interesting world where someone could feasibly download the schematics to a weapon, and have it made in a few hours.

    Fascinating shit though, all this computer-aided manufacture - i have a hard time projecting the implications of the next IT revolution, where people can 'DTP' physical objects in the real world.
