"Living robot" Escapes Lab, Makes It To...Parking Lot
jerkychew writes "This is either really cool or really scary, depending on how you look at it. According to this article, scientists in England have been experimenting with so-called 'living robots' that think and act for themselves. During an exercise that pitted the machines against each other in battle, one of the machines, named Gaak, was taken out of the competition and left alone for fifteen minutes. When the scientist returned to retrieve Gaak, he found that the machine had broken free from its 'cage', and made it all the way to the lab's parking lot before it was apprehended! Can the T-1000 be far behind?" Update: 06/20 20:36 GMT by T : Thanks to skywalker404, who points out the Magna site and Professor Noel Sharkey's web page.

Janus is there ANY way to filter you out.. can you please wander into a parking lot and get *hit* by a car? These 'priceless' posts are getting really annoying and lame and redundant as all of hell. Please pick some new innocuous format for your pointless ramblings. Thank you in advance.

Am I the only one to find it funny that a site which heavily promotes the use of Mozilla, whose arguably most attractive feature is ad-blocking, stores its pimps' ads on its own servers to defeat the usefullness of that feature?
Nuh-uh! Urs is da worstest!

The movie was made during the giddy hights of hippy power, when it was obligatory to be stoned out of your gourd at all times.
For a drug-free explanation try the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

The contraction is spelled "must've", from "must have".

Time for some karma:
For those who didn't get it:
The year was 1986 and the movie was Short Circuit an 80's feel good moving staring Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg and Fisher Stevens. Many somewhat amusing jokes ensue as a new intelligence begins to see the world and the pop-culture around it.
At the same time they attempt to wax philosophical about the definition of intelligence and what constitutes actual "life"
