Before 3D printers, there were 2D printer. It's a great invention that brought an end to the book manufacturing industry (publishing, printing and distribution) because people could now print 2D based products from the comfort of their home. The machine used simple materials such as paper and coloured ink and could transform them into book and magazine, given the proper blueprints which you can buy from the Internet. There might even be 3D blueprints to create such a machine

Does Syfy Really Love Sci-Fi? 742

Posted by Soulskill on Friday February 25, 2011 @01:20PM from the but-they-had-this-awesome-movie-about-a-ferret-monster dept.

'There's still a lot of the older sci-fi content on the airwaves, but it's slowly being phased out, and forget about original programming. After all, this is the programming crew who ruined Caprica by stuffing it into the Friday night death slot and splitting the season into two parts. These are the geniuses who killed off Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe. These are the people who wrecked Farscape, one of the most inventive and fun sci-fi shows to ever be on television. They also ended Mystery Science Theater 3000, only the greatest show ever invented by robots in space.' Is this now as good as it gets?"
