are we really that far into the degradation process ? are we really that close to the end ? it makes me sad and  :-DD at the same time  :-DD :-DD

btw.. we have start-trek replicators which are able to make various flavors of coffee - and we have theme everywhere ;) just drop your 1 euro coin and it will start-trek-replicate a plastic cup of coffee for you :D

This isn't a replicator, it's a vending machine. It's not a replicator until you put nothing but energy in and get a pint out.
