DARPA Grand Challenge 2005 Rules Announced

Posted by timothy on from the and-roll-tape dept.

Mr_KnowItAll writes "Our friends at DARPA have released the proposed rules for the 2005 Grand Challenge. They learned their lesson from the first one, now they will expect teams to submit a video demonstration of their vehicle's ability to complete the course before being invited to participate. Good, but they're also advancing the timeline to the point that it will be very hard to any team to start now and hope to participate. After all the fuss at DARPA's last-minute rule changes in '04, it's interesting to see that they're offering the proposed rules for community review and feedback."

    I'm not sure what use you think this is going to give people. All of Slashdot's subdomains all pass through one load balancer. If you go to warez.slashdot.org, 3dwww.slashdot.org, or plain old slashdot.org, the physical server you get directed to is based on distributed load on all of Slashdot.

    No, the only useful thing is to subscribe and go to https://slashdot.org

    Whoopty-fucking-crap. Every game is pirated. Of course Doom 3 would be pirated. This is completely unsuprising.

    ** NEWSFLASH **
    Doom was pirated. Doom 2 was pirated. Quake was pirated. Quake 2 was pirated. Quake 3 was pirated.

    BTW, John Carmack still has a very expensive care.
