Except, perhaps for that whole thing where it did devour this world, and became.. well.. us. It won't devour our world again, at least.<BR/><BR/>I'll be mightily impressed if human engineering manages to outdo that feat sufficiently that the grey goo that's already here is beaten. We might, however, manage something that'll make this tech we've got a little more like the grey goo we've been using for milennia.jonoredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12609569509093519934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-31651083080609681162007-08-22T23:11:00.000+01:002007-08-22T23:11:00.000+01:00Off topic, but no, I can, however, point you to three other fiction sources where the "gray goo" is a menace.Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10209933164995351838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-4575097548698107192007-08-22T19:47:00.000+01:002007-08-22T19:47:00.000+01:00I trust everyone here has read John Sladek's novel `The Reproductive System.'Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12671875907666342941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12223283.post-18266323510889126312007-08-16T14:41:00.000+01:002007-08-16T14:41:00.000+01:00Looks very nice!

Could someone remind me if these are going to come with the hardware to assemble the extruder as well? That would be really convenient.<BR/><BR/>KyleKylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04573286825260180158noreply@blogger.com
