Why do I have a feeling ''JUDGEMENT DAY'' has yet to be avoided!?!?

Hmm... "Cyberdyne". What an interesting name, I wonder where they came up with it? Oh, and the exoskeleton is called HAL.

In other news, I hear there's a military defense satellite system called "Skynet".

Heh...my first thought when I saw this was "Melora"...

This is fantastic. It actually reads nerve impulses, so it works for people suffering from paralysis.

We can fix him. We have the technology. But i don't wanna spend a lot of money.


And this is why the Japanese are years ahead of us.

Are they really though?

Sure the showed off the legs - being demonstrated by a couple of attractive women but do we know if they actually work?

These sorts of "legs" have been unveiled in one form or another since the early 80s. When will real people get to use them?
