| Bought my very first mechanical keyboard a couple of days ago...
Wow!!! It's like typing on a honey soaked pillows while wearing the fluffiest mittens in the world compared to any other keyboard I've ever used.
There is no turning back now...

| Mechanical keyboard? It sounds like something of this kind:
This is actually a telewriter model that I operated during my military service. They were not comfortable for typing.

| If does it sounds like that "clickety click" of old IBM terminal keyboards, I agree, there's no way you can revert to newer ones:

Just cheap no-frills rubber dome keyboards.

For a short time back in the early 90's I had the IBM Model M keyboard. It was very robust and could probably be run over by a car and still work but the keys were so loud it drove me nuts. 
The one I bought (Roccat Suora), and most likely the majority of the modern mechanical keyboards are fortunately not as loud as the IBM Model M(onster) and its counterparts.
I can only imagine what an entire office using those would've sounded like:

| Watsisname, very intersting topic.
i remember i watched some doc about that maybe self replicates nano robots may exist out there and colonize space. they could be some long time dead aliens tech that now dominate the galaxy...as robots

...and scary!
Imagine if they were similar to the ones in (potential movie spoilers) Edge of tomorrow or X-men: Days of future past.

| its also remind me of matrix.but in the matrix they just stayed on earth.
the one question i have in mind is: will they will really define as alive?
we are living by biochimestry process etc. the machines will be alive by computer (math, formulas)
so basically a machines could define alive if they will do the same process our bodies do but in different way.
but its hard to think of a machines as living beings.
but maybe that how we can imagine exotic, lets say iron or metal based life forms.

| There could be thousands of probes in our solar system without us knowing. How could we know that the probes haven't been here for millions of years?

| Maybe we are the probes. Sufficiently advanced self-replicating machines could be indistinguishable from life.

Or maybe life itself on this planet is a self-replicating machine, made by a technologically-advanced civility four billions of years ago.

Maybe the civilization that created Earth's self replicating machines is in itself a self-replicating machine made by another civilization.
