Robots for Air Force Protection
Roland Piquepaille writes "During a demonstration held in San Antonio on August 6, twelve robots intended to protect bases and people were shown to Air Force security directors and to 230 other security professionals. In "Robots display force-protection prowess," Air Force Link tells us the story. "Demonstrations included one robot that crawled up walls and across ceilings, another that clambered over rocks with six rotating legs and a third that wriggled like a snake through a pipe." This summary contains more details, including photos of the "Wall Crawler" climbing a wall and of Hexapod, a robot with six rotating legs walking over a pile of rocks."
Edsger Dijkstra a overbearing arrogant jackass of a man has died. The cause of death was an anal virus received from his homo friend. This overrated loser will not be missed by the computing world. He was a worthless piece of shit who plagerized most of his works. His refusal to bathe or personal hygiene was well known This pale smelly socially inept jerkr died in his homosexual partner's sore infested arms. His last words were "I should not have had anal sex" Good riddance to that worthless piece of shit Dijkstra!
Having a 1 trillion dollars budget to play with is sure cool.
But how can those things cope with an insider throwing a nade in a tent?
Or some loonies firing rockets to a jeep?
Technology isnt the solution to all problems.
Well, maybe there will be civilian outcomes.
