    ONE DAY TO GET IN, CONTROL IN A WEEK.

  2. ...video of a prototype by gadget+junkie · · Score: 5, Interesting · on DIY 18-ft.-High Robotic Exoskeleton

    In Here there's a video of an experimental Raytheon exoskeleton for the US army. It seems that we're a long way from seeing something like "starship troopers" especially because there's a conspicous umbilical cord in the Video, probably for the external power source and computer controls. While Moore's law can cope with computing requirements, there's nothing similar in power production, and especially in power density.
    Novody would want a battery powered exoskeleton with a 10 minutes charge.

    Why the *FUCK* would I want my military systems on a network that can access the fucking INTERNET FOR A DDOS?!?!?!?!

    Everytime someone thinks connecting defense-critical *ANYTHING* to the internet is a good idea, I want to shoot them in the face with acid. Did you people so easily forget the guy who took only a week to penetrate into a nuclear reactor and control it FROM THE OUTSIDE?

    I think that theory of humor is falsified by things like this:

    It makes me (and obviously many others) laugh, and I can see no hint of "directed cruelty" in it - it's not poking fun at anyone, and yet it's funny.

    They're not selling them, but they did make one...

    I want one.

    (I think I saw this on /. a while back. Or was it digg? Who cares? That thing kicks ass.)

    The EB Games & Gamestops I've been to have demo units.

    Here's a pic
    (the Wii demo stand is on the right)

    I've killed 2~3 hrs playing Excite Truck over the course of several days (I was waiting on female family members who were shopping).

    Also, I'd kinda like to try playing the game using the 'classic' controller instead of the Wii-mote. Are some of the other games like tennis & bowling playable without the wii-mote?
