Killer Military Robot Arms Race Underway?
coondoggie writes to tell us NetworkWorld is reporting that one researcher seems to think that a military robot arms race may be imminent between both governments and terrorists. "We are beginning to see the first steps towards an international robot arms race and it may not be long before robots become a standard terrorist weapon to replace the suicide bomber, according to professor Noel Sharkey, from the Royal United Services Institute Department of Computer Science. [...] Currently there is always a human in the loop to decide on the use of lethal force. However, this is set to change with the US giving priority to autonomous weapons - robots that will decide on where, when and who to kill, according to the professor."
Whatever!!! Demonize your own country or whoever you want because your an ignorant nit wit. Get over your high ground everyone is the same and the US happens to have a lot of fire power and therefore potentially more devastating. Your just f'n lucky your still alive or not living in a nuclear winter. Just a natter of time with these towel head fundamentalists. This same-ol-s**t christian/muslim conflict that will probably be the end of us all!!! Push comes to shove and the US will have no problem stepping up to the table with a suicidal tendancy that will make a "jihad" look like a picnic.
My advice is to enjoy what you have now and live each day like its your last one.
