Nanorobots able to kill bacteria could also destroy healthy human cells, becoming a trans-biological plague in their own right. Self-replicating nanomachines intended for molecular manufacturing could be programmed to break matter apart instead of putting it together. A horde of multiplying nanomachines released into the environment, programmed to devour the matter around them and use it as raw material to build copies of themselves, could in principle become a planetary cancer dwarfing nuclear weapons in their capacity for destruction. Malignant nanorobots could be designed to putrefy human bodies and mutate in response to countermeasures. They could be programmed to destroy crops and plant life. They could be ordered to trigger destructive chemical reactions in water or the atmosphere, such as obliterating ozone or poisoning aquifers. They could build themselves into artificial life forms, such as super-tough cybernetic plants intended to drive their biological predecessors into extinction. The theoretical potential of all these nightmare weapons to replicate themselves without human control is what makes them uniquely horrible. Nuclear bombs are bad enough, Bill Joy points out, but at least they can’t multiply out of control like a virus.
God that gave me a hard on!

Coolest Thing I Have Ever Read!Follow
Welcome to Sci-fi circa 1987
I like to focus more on the fact that they could cure cancer, repair failing organs and save millions of lives....
but too each his own
but too each his own
Come on, I'm a warlord, I like breaking things!
Were talking about the borg right?
I like the Borg. They're creepy.
I had a friend whose last name was Borg, he was kinda creepy.
I called him Borgasm.
I called him Borgasm.
Bode - 100 Holy Paladin - Lightbringer
I can see it now
Come on baby
I need it so bad
Borgasm all over my breasts!!

Now on the same token could these said Nano's form up into giant metal killing machines that are capable of forming there mass to anything they sample with physical contact, but at the same time only things that are of equal size.
Also they couldnt form complex machines, guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts, it doesn't work that way, but it can form solid metal shapes like Knives and stabbing weapons.
Now that thats said and done Lefein I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle!

I thought nanomachines only made Young Lady's Illustrated Primers.

FTFY
I had a borgasm at work today, we had the most boring meeting ever. There were lots of boring long winded people talking. I guess you could call it a borgy.

Actually, nanocolonies can create moving parts, but the laser thing might be difficult.

Nah, all they would need to do is absorb some crystals, and figure out a way to refract light.

Now, for some real brownies, do you have that episode Justene?
Nanobots ripping your cells apart?
My God, the person would break down into a liquid substance before your very eyes!
So much power!
But wouldn't it just be easier to sneeze someone in the face and hope he didn't get his flu shot this year?
Or open your random brown-paper package and DO sniff the white powder it contains?

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
