    Avi Rubin. The only thing more perfect would be if he'd given this report to an online TV station, it could be Rubin.Avi then.

  4. Bad solution by commodoresloat · · Score: 4, Funny

    Shotguns are prone to failure. Then people will demand a re-shoot. The only verifiable solution is to equip the robots with laser beams. Frickin' laser beams, of course. On their heads.

  5. Re:Just make sure people know you are from Canada by Brandybuck · · Score: 4, Funny

    When I was in Germany I asked the people I was staying with how they could tell us Americans and Canadians apart.

    "Oh, that's easy! If I find you in the morning passed out in my garden, you must be Canadian."
