The robots will race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas completely without human intervention. This could prove useful in the battlefield someday. DARPA really has some interesting projects going on. This one is BORING compared to the Vortex Combustor and the Chip-Size Atomic Clock. Watch the DARPA site for updates."

    Ok, then... when these puppies go to mars, YOU don't get to watch!!!!

    So when they began working on a "decentralized redundantly connected automously routed data network" you must have thought that was gonna be boring too? ;-p

    Ah, Slashdot: Always hyping the inane, ignoring the ingenious, and employing the inept.
