Unabomber-Inspired Group Sends Bombs to Nanotechnology Researchers

So to cry out against technology, these people used highly advanced mailing services and complex explosive compounds wired into a trigger device that has several advanced systems itself.

Ahhh ignorant hypocrisy. Tasty.

Also. "The ever more rapid acceleration of this technology will lead to the creation of nanocyborgs that can self-replicate automatically without the help of a human." It's a claim the nanoscientists dismiss as science fiction

Even though they are not nano scientists they 'know' what is going to happen... right...

Well, "the creation of nanocyborgs that can self-replicate automatically without the help of a human" didn't work out so well for the Asgard. I would just start investing in EMP tech, and hope they have extremely limited adapatability.

@thor0997, were are all already cyborgs. Nearly all of us are unware we are cyborgs tho. Perhaps only .01% are aware they are not human, but human trapped in a artificial body. But now since I have spoken about it. What will you do thor0997? Personally, I am ordering a pizza.

CarolynB,

Point of order, the Asgard did not create the replicators, the Ancients did. However, the Asgard did get their skinny grey butts kicked by those pesky bug bots.

Point of order cholin, there are 2 replicator types who were created by 2 different groups. The first replicators encountered(in SG1) were created by humans from some random planet and the second replicators encountered(in SGA) were created by the Ancients.

You will have more of these christian extremist groups pop up as technology becomes more ingrained in every aspect of life.

Gee Boka, how could I have been so stupid as to not immediately blame this on a religious group. Go spew your anti-Christian hatred somewhere else.

Back to the relevance at hand, these people are fearmongering idiots. This is almost as bad as Halley's comet back in the 1800s. For one, we're nowhere near applying nanoscale CPUs into a self assembling system, not to mention that what we have for self assembling nanomachines. I'm more surprised they haven't been doing things like this against biotech.

talk about ignorance... (referring to boka)

boca should get his aluminum foil cap removed by a professional. It may be too complex for him to attempt.

Mexico has way more issues than this. Thousands are being murdered each day as violent crime has gone berserk there. It has never been quite a crime free zone but the demand for drugs has not helped. This nanotech may be some kook, group of kooks, boca, or some attempt to extort money from this group or they may have been involved in police activity.

In all cases no Christian was involved. Christ did not say use bombs.

people that hate technology are idiots. they could've be inspired religiously. im not saying that they are. boka was wrong saying what he said. but they had some reason. just look at lunatic religious groups like the branch davidians and Jim Jones "Jonestown". need i say more?

@JediMindset

I dont know about you, but when I hear about an anti-technology terrorist group, I dont necessarily think of Christian or Muslim. Some people are just plain and simple nut jobs, and it isnt fair to link any religious organization to such extremism. Why can people stop putting religious lables on these people and just call them extremists? Placing religious lables adds an incorrect assumption about the mainstream group of religious individuals.

@jaydub
usually religious people love to prevent the advancement of humanity by trying to keep us in the dark ages. im not saying that they were religious but that Boka had some reason for saying what he said.
