Produce Organs...From Printer
Gavinsblog writes "New Scientist reports that researchers
have modified desktop printers and filled them with suspensions of cells
instead of ink. Apparently the work is a first step towards printing complex
tissues or even entire organs. Amazing technology. " Well, I guess this could give a whole new meaning to "watermarking".
Mexican Scientists Perfect Copying
In a land-mark case Lexmark are invoking the DMCA against the pregnant women.
"We produce organs, so apparently do pregnant women, clearly they have reverse engineered our technology in breach of the DMCA. As normally with copyright violations this is biggest in China, India and other countries with large populations"
Pregnant Women have filed a class-action countersuit claiming prior art, but are not expect to win as they didn't give any cash to elected officials.
Senator Joe Bung(R) said "I know my mother doesn't agree with this case but the fact is she broke the DMCA when she had me, I'd much of prefered to have been printed out and it would have been easier for ma, women must realise that this is a natural thing and we must let the market decide."

Why is it that all the responses to this story are Funny and there are no Insightful or Interesting responses ?
/. mentality ?
Does this show the
Can I print an organ that is disproportional (no I am not thinking about penises) to what normally comes out?
like, say, would I be able to print a sphere of kidney cells?
how about a longer stretch of arm-muscles?
attached to a printed, longer leg-bone?
can I print a new layer of skin, or new hair folicles? (can you imagine rogain all up on this stuff?)
how about a third leg?
in fact, how about a beak?
a gill so I can swim underwater? (i mean, as long as the blood circulates through it)
the possibilities are endless, marvellous, and scary.

4-Winged Dinosaur Fossil Printed
In an astounding accomplishment this week, scientists from China have printed the fossilized remains of a 4-winged dinosaur on a standard desktop printer. This achievement could go a long way in providing more evidence that, in fact, Creation was done on an old 24-pin matrix printer, which could explain away the various inconsistencies in the end result we see today.
"There may have been driver problems in the first test-prints of Creation, bugs in the software that make the printer work, that God may have overlooked," says evolutionary theorist Dr. Winston Guystone. "Of course this is met with a lot of opposition, prominently from the religious quarters, who strongly believe God is omnipotent."
Rev. Dr. Edward Martins of the Baptist Church of Redemption, responds, "It is absolutely ludicrous to think that the universe was printed from some divine desktop printer. And even so, where does the paper come from?" Lately the Protestant and Catholic church have been in an uproar when it came out that the Holy Bible was, in fact, based on an ancient Roman website that was run from a recently discovered modified Commodore 64 server with a custom network device.
