    Great new market for them I'm sure. /me decides to wait for robotic appliances not produced by a company making military gear.

    "Depending on battlefield circumstances, the vehicle could be controlled remotely, freeing up the soldiers inside it for other tasks" gives a whole new meaning to car sex...

  3. Information about drones? by koi88 · · Score: 0, Troll


    Does the idea of putting artifical intelligence into a killing machine make anyone else a little nervous?

    Are these unmanned drones used in Israel AI-driven?
    The article says, the drone killed two 14- and 15-year-old children.
    Does anybody know about these?

  4. Twitter: Life and times of a petulant cock-gobbler by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Twitter, you're a petulant cock-gobbling sycophant to Linux Torvaldyos! Quit taking DP from ESR and RMS's feculent cocks and why don't you try to stop sucking quite so much? Get out of your parents' basement and see the real world - maybe then you'll see how pathetic you sound, with your neverending stream of bullshit about how Microsoft is stalking you. Wasn't it you who said that Microsoft believes your insane ranting is actually a threat to them, so they PAY PEOPLE to reply to you on Slashdot? No sir, I don't get any money. I do it for the love. Someone has to go up against your paranoid whining. So get back in your cage and shut the fuck up already.
