IBelieveWhatIWant Posted May 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I don't know why but I really don't like this idea. My mind goes straight to what bad stuff this could be used for and honestly it outweighs the potential good stuff by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBelieveWhatIWant Posted May 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Damn those evil plastics and their evil plastic machinations. Very funny, what I meant was that it won't be long before this goes to metals with faster and faster regenerative properties and with AI seemingly gets more and more advanced....long story short think Terminator 2's T-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
