The only difference here is in the material used to create them...
Yeah, scary thought, since everything we have created has been twisted by someone for evil purpose...
:rolleyes:
[B]No, the terminators are robots. Here, we're more thinking along the lines of [i]The Andromeda Strain[/i] sort of effects. [/B][/QUOTE]
But what created the Terminators? Think Biggles, think. :)
[B]An AI. But these arn't machines, they're like micro-bacteria, and they're not particularly smart. [/B][/QUOTE]
That's what you think. Maybe they'll be smarter than us and later tkae over the world and rule it with a iron fist. :eek: ;)

We're all machines dude. We're just made differently. ;)
Make it eat white blood cells.
make it eat brain tissue.
make it eat any particularly vital organ.
untracible, easily slipped into food or drink, perfect assasination device.
they are also talking about self repaiting metals.
mix in an AI somewhere, and well...you have potential issues.
[B]An AI. But these arn't machines, they're like micro-bacteria, and they're not particularly smart. [/B][/QUOTE] My thoughts exactly. Unless they're some sort of scifi bacteria that's programmed with sentience, all they're going to do is what any bacteria does... and as long as they harmless to us, it's not a problem.
This article is like the ones in the 50's that predicted common lunar travel and flying cars by 2000. They are being tremendously over optimistic. Mainly so they can continue to secure grant money.
:p

[B]Yeah... and where's my damn flying car?!?
:p [/B][/QUOTE]
It's the 21st century, and there are no flying cars. Where are my flying cars? I was [i]promised[/i] flying cars!

'Course, now someone's going to post that actual flying car that was posted here a couple years back... I can't remember what it was called, though. It was red, I remember it was red.

Yes, but an Iron Fist nonetheless!!!
[B]You mean the [URL=http://www.moller.com/news/update4/front_down.jpg]skycar[/URL] ? [/B][/QUOTE]
Yeah ! That's the one, I like the One Seater model! :D
secondly Phi, when the ETA assasinated the Spanishes head of treasury during the 70's they actually flung his limo over a building, but that doesnt count either. Id like the flying car experience to be survivable, for both myself AND THE VEHICLE!
