    Really? Is it just me?

    Fuck my grandkids! They'll probably be ingrateful little shits about this.

    We need this now. I need this now. So I could.... not... get... tired standing up at my boring job all day. YEAH!

    @madog: You should read some of Ray Kurzweil's stuff, according to him, and the mass amounts of evidence he's compiled in technology growth, we'll have this type of stuff in the next 40 years. The catch is you just have to stay alive long enough to enjoy it. He seems to think that after scientists finally perfect nanomachines(which isn't too far off) technology will advance like crazy.

    So when is the first super newborn due? In 2 years? Let me guess, December right?

    But does it also give one a rugged American tough-guy accent, and the ability to do a fancy song and dance number with Beyonce while remaining endearingly masculine?

    If not, I'm out.

    @LastOne: [www.mininova.org]

    or

    [www.amazon.com]

    I'd consider the last option, because like Showgirls, it's a movie you need to watch over and over, and lend to friends because it's so.....There are no words.

    Also, a little known fact. The Timmy/Jimmy fight from South Park was taken scene for scene from They Live.

    I'm gonna wait til they isolate the other mutant genes... the ones that give me retractable razor claws.

    You explain how it cracks and heals itself, which is a major accomplishment, given that one of the biggest downfalls of concrete is that it cracks. ("The concrete is going to crack, we just try to control where.")


    What is not explained is how it can flex that much. Normal concrete has virtually zero tensile strength. For it to flex, they have given it tensile strength somehow. I guess you're going to force me to read the NG article.

    @tomboygirl: Without having read the article, my guess would be the tensile strength is added just like it's always added - with steel reinforcing. I think the breakthrough here is the concrete's plasticity, not it's tensile strength.

    Does this mean no more potholes?!? Or tar?!? And how expensive would this be to build, lets say, a road?

    @T: Even if it is self healing and stuff, wouldn't the dust from it be pretty unhealthy still? I mean, we all know unhealthy stuff is up in the air from tires on asphalt, but I wonder if there wouldn't be a lot of dust and such from this in the long run?


    I'm no physician, just guessing here.
