    I wouldn't mind a copy of Amanda Tapping, if that's what you're asking.

    Heheh, I've seen that vid. I can't wait for personal robots... and I don't even want one for sex!
    I just want one that will wake me up every morning, take out my trash, and do my job. Then we could build a giant shield/cloaking device around our planet, so we could live forever as artists and poets. Paradise.

    More bad news.

    So, going down the checklist:
    Machines that can reassemble? Check
    Machines that can self-replicate? Check
    Machines with artificial intelligence? Stay tuned...

    As a famous Austrian philosopher-cum-cyborg once said: "Judgement day is inevitable." I, for one, welcome our new replicator overlords. I'm also in for a RepliCarter.
