The Robots are Coming

An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices.com's new 'Linux-powered Robots Quick Reference Guide' offers an interesting glimpse into of some Linux-powered robots currently available or near production, and provides an extensive reading list with further information on Linux in robotics. According to a fascinating article at TechNewsWorld, Linux is poised to play a centrol role in an emerging industry that many expect to overtake the PC industry in size: robotics. Japan is currently driving robot innovation, according to the article, impelled by a looming labor shortage. Consumer robots like the Sony Aibo and Honda Asimo make headlines, but ubiquitous, cheap, and practical utility robots are what most Japanese robot makers are focused on, and 'carmaker Honda believes that robots will become its most important business,' according to the TechNewsWorld article. Watch out -- the Linux-powered robots are on the march!"

  2. KATE FENT IS ON TEH SPOKE by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    My encounter with Kathleen Fent at a party...

    I remember it well...it was my junior year in high school, and Kate and I were at the same party. She had been doing rails of coke all night and swigging Jack Daniels like nothing any of us had ever seen. You could tell this was something that she had done often, as the sheer amount of intoxicants that she had been consuming did not seem to affect her one bit.

    I was hesitant to approach her...she was not really the type of girl I dated usually -- I went for the cheerleader/popular girl type who you were guaranteed to at least get a blow job by the first date. Fast girls -- not the kind of girls that required at least two dates to get a kiss on the cheek and a raging case of blue balls. Yet tonight was different. I was particularly randy, and Kate was there snorting enough coke to supply a small country. She was considered to be in the geeky chick group -- the girls that weren't hot, but were tolerable enough to hang around outside of school. But I didn't care...she looked like she wanted to get fucked -- and hard.

    Finally I made my move. I had made eyes with her all night and I finally went to talk to her. I came over to her and before I could get out "Hi, my name is..." she grabbed my penis and started massaging it. There was a bathroom nearby, which no one was occupying at that moment, so I motioned for her to join me in it -- she accepted.

    We enter the bathroom and lock the door, and she didn't even bother to kiss me or anything -- she dropped straight to her knees and whipped out my dick, and practically swallowed it whole. I'm no John Holmes, but they don't call me tic-tac either; I'm working with a good 8 inches or so, and she deep-throated it -- just like that.

    I knew there had to be a catch to this. I felt around and grabbed her crotch, only to notice that she was on her period. I wasn't sure what to do, and then I asked her if she wanted it like a dirty whore and take it in the ass. Luckily, I had a condom with me that was lubricated, but it was obvious that she had been an anal pro and had already relaxed her sphincter to the point where my cock just slid in. It was the best ass I had ever had and she loved every inch of it in her ass. I couldn't last long -- her ass was still tight, surprisingly. I pulled it out and whipped off the condom, and unleashed my white wave into her waiting mouth. She swallowed every last drop of it. After I finished, I put my pants back on and wasn't sure what to say to her, but she smiled and left the bathroom. It was like she knew that I just wanted to fuck her and leave and not say shit to her.

    After the encounter in the bathroom, I didn't see her for the rest of the night. I did see her occasionally at school and we exchanged smiles, but we never mentioned our hot anal session in the bathroom at that party. I still look back on it fondly. I'll always remember that 10 minutes of fun in the bathroom with Kate.

  8. taco sex! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We first met, of all places, in a taco place. Only a block from the
    university, the place was packed to the rafters with college students
    there for the cheap tacos and draft beer they served. I saw her walk
    in, her short, trim body and long light brown hair catching my eye
    immediately. I admired her legs, shown off by a brief miniskirt, and
    the firm roundness of her ass as she walked to the counter and placed
    her order, before returning my attention to my tacos and beer.

    The next time I noticed her, she was standing in the aisle, tray in
    hand, looking for a place to sit. It seemed that every table in the
    place was occupied. I was nearly through anyway, so, expecting her to
    say no, I invited her to join me at my table.

    My reward was a radiant smile as she sat across from me in the tiny
    booth. We introduced ourselves, and made small talk while we ate. Like
    me, she was a college student, and, though our majors were worlds apart,
    we found campus news to talk about. We were soon joking like two old
    friends and drinking another beer.

    The talk turned to dating, men, women, sex, parties, all the important
    things to college students, and the beer flowed freely. Then I stopped
    a joke in mid-sentence as she caught me totally off guard. A sudden
    sensation of pleasure made me look down to see her shapely, stocking-clad
    foot massaging the growing bulge in my pants. "Want to take a drive?"
    she asked. We left, getting into her shiny new sports car. She
    explained that it had been an early graduation present from her folks as
    she shifted smoothly through the gears. With each action of her foot on
    the clutch, her miniskirt rose higher and higher up her thigh, until I
    could clearly see the tops of her stockings and a hint of blue lace
    garters. Her blouse drooped open slightly between the buttons, just
    enough that I could tell that her bra matched the garters.

    I casually let a hand rest on her shapely thigh, just to see her
    reaction. To my surprise, she placed her hand on mine, drawing it
    slowly higher and higher up her leg, until it was high enough that it
    was obvious she wore no panties. Her pubic hair was long, thick and
    soft, and my probing fingers soon discovered that her lips were swollen
    and wet. She moaned softly and licked her lips as my fingers found her
    clit, and she downshifted, turning into a park that runs along the
    river.

    She pulled the car up under a railroad bridge that offered a little
    shade and blocked the view of her car from the road. After stopping the
    engine and adjusting the radio, she turned to me and we kissed, a long,
    wet, delicious kiss, my fingers still massaging her clit while she raked
    her long fingernails gently against the hard bulge in my pants.

    We finally broke the kiss, and she leaned back in her seat. Her eyes
    never left mine as she slowly, oh, so slowly, unbuttoned her silk
    blouse. Finally, she pulled it open, and I saw for the first time her
    gorgeous breasts, encased in a filmy blue bra. A tiny tatoo of a rose
    adorned the top of her left breast above the bra, and my lips found that
    spot, kissing and licking, as her nipples grew stiff in my palm. I
    pulled the bra out of the way, with her helping, and took her nipple
    into my mouth, sucking and gently rasping my teeth against it. She
    moaned, gasped, and arched her hips, pressing her perfect tit into my
    mouth. Suddenly, she pushed me away, pushing me back in my seat, and
    started to undo my jeans. I tried to help, but she just pushed my hands
    away, telling me with her eyes to let her do it.

    I raised my hips slightly to let her slide my jeans down past my knees,
    and she seemed amused at my lack of underwear. Leaning forward, her
    long, soft hair caressed my cock and balls for a moment, then I gasped
    as she slowly sucked the entire length of my raging hard-on, so gently
    she was barely touching it, until her nose was right up against
