From Your PC to Reality in 3 Easy Steps

aelbric writes "PC Magazine is running an on some entrepreneurial businesses that are taking an interesting approach to prototyping and one-off manufacturing. Apparently, you can send in schematics for circuit boards to Pad2Pad, where they will quote, build and ship you a part based on your exact specifications. There is also reference to eMachineShop, for those of you more mechanically inclined, for building some home projects. Design the part on your PC, send it to the shop electronically, recieve custom built component(s). "

Stupid me, I've been submitting original stories (and getting them rejected). I should have been submitting stories the editors already accepted! We know they like those!

And how, exactly, is the first post "Flamebait"? Oh, I forgot, the editor's get to moderate first, and any criticism of them is modded down. Hey, Editors -- instead of scrutinizing the comments and modding down anything critical of you, why don't you do your fucking JOB instead, and EDIT the damn submissions in the first place? What's the point of letting subscribers see the stories first if you don't listen to their feedback and eliminate dupes?
