It finds all
felines and shreds them. Starts in Iowa and works his way across the fruited plains.

Just something else to make you paranoid...

Researchers are trying to develop better understanding of free will to be able to model it in artificial intelligence.

Look at the minigun on that robot.

[clarkster]

that ****s like 20 years away from being reliable enough to deploy. another 5-10 before the commanders on the ground and afloat are willing to trust it. by then, who knows.
the navy does have SOME automated weapons systems in use now, but like i said, as long as someones held accountable for inadvertant firing of weapons, robots wont be trusted.

[Rohirrim]

Can it make beer?

[Rock Chalk]

Can it make beer?

Thats really the imporant issue here.

[PLOWHORSE]

A couple rounds from an m16 to that block head robot will surely do the trick!

[clarkster]

Well this is just great. One of our few remaining advantages over the robots who wish to enslave us -- the ability to run away and cower in an inaccessible location -- may soon be gone forever, if DARPA's bid for softball-sized, morphing 'ChemBots' proves successful. The government's mad scientist wing wants proposals for a soft, flexible bot that is able to collapse down to a tenth of its original size, crawl through a one centimeter opening at a quarter of a meter per hour minute, and bulk back up to its original size in under 15 seconds. Think you're up for the challenge? White papers are due on May 3rd of this year, and since liquid metal robots won't be feasible until about the year 2029, interested parties better get cracking.

Great...now we have reached Terminator II.

Remember...the GPS system will only be used for peaceful purposes. Space will not be used as a weapons platform. Ha! Noone said anything about guidence system.

It must be quite an event to have a GPS guided bomb or missle come thru your window.

Is the Beezer guided by GPS?? Or striclty by Friskies Fish in a can?

and then Mark Cuban will buy 12 of them for his "new" team. They will then go out in the first round in 4 games after posting the first 82 and 0 mark in regular season. The German robot will have an average of 10 points and 3 rebounds and tank worse than...... well you know who.
