    Embedding is still a mystery to me.

    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    This technology has been in use for a couple of decades in the manufacturing industry. I remember reading an article on it in Modern Machine Shop in the late 90s. It is far less expensive for R and D to "print" a prototype of a new gadget, than it is for them pay a machinist to make one from a blueprint. The technology has advanced quite a bit with the ability to add moving components during printing. Previously, each part had to printed individually and them assembled by hand.

    This will revolutionize the office party - drunk people can't resist the temptation to photocopy their asses as it is - imagine what they'd do with this sucker.
