anzha's Journal: von Neumann, Matter Compiler or Hype?

I tried submitting this to the index, but unfortunately the html keeps getting screwed up for the links. IDK why. Anyways...

Dr Adrian Bower of the University of Bath seems to think that he has figured out a way to modify the rapid prototyping machines to allow simple manufacture at home or even to have the rapid prototyping machine replicate itself. The question is whether or not he'll succeed and if he is making what he thinks he is making. Are we looking at the first Matter Compiler? Or are we looking at the first von Neumann Machine? Or neither?
