US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets
mpicpp sends this report from The Independent:
The United States Department of Defense has carried out what it says is its most successful test yet of a bullet that can steer itself towards moving targets. Experienced testers have used the technology to hit targets that were actively evading the shot, and even novices that were using the system for the first time were able to hit moving targets. The project, which is known as Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance weapon, or Exacto, is being made for the American government's military research agency, DARPA. It is thought to use small fins that shoot out of the bullet and re-direct its path, but the U.S. has not disclosed how it works. Technology in the bullet allows it to compensate for weather and wind, as well as the movement of people it is being fired at, and curve itself in the air as it heads towards its target.
Gary Oldman shows how it's done:

Die dulci fruere. Have a nice day.
Oh, and get your heart to beat at 500 bpm, or something. ;-)
Sweet! A Zorg invention coming to fruition. I like it!
Yes I believe I saw some documentaries produced by Warner Brothers demonstrating this very technology, demonstrated by Doctors B. Bunny and E. Fudd.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
No, just babies. There are plenty of them -- it's really cold in Finland and what else is there to do on cold night?
