They know reality can't be denied. Whether that reality is the one where the fabric is flawed, the stone doesn't measure level, the chair breaks, or the client won't pay… their feelings don't matter, their excuses won't hold, and no amount of belief in their unique value will change that.

- Now you can 'print' guns at home | Space, Military and Medicine | News.com.au. Sketchy on details - eg. I highly doubt you can 3D print things like the *barrel* out of plastic stock (yet). It does remind me of the characters discussing a cheap 'make your own' assault rifle, in a Neal Stepehenson novel (Crypto, I think); the idea being it would allow oppressed groups of people to fight back. Worth noting the discussion in the book put the barrel as a serious stumbling block. Still, it seems we're a step closer to the day when home manufacturing gets serious. If someone manages to create an accessibly-priced 3D printer that can work with metal, it's on... everyone will be able to make their own *whatever*, just as soon as a suitably motivated geek takes an original apart and posts the specs.
