    Then they can continue to pool their resources and hire someone, or educate themselves and do it themselves.

    Well, then I guess they would be out of luck, and if they don't want to pay for the service, they can find someone else to get it from. I see nothing in TFA that states that entire neighborhoods would be forced to take part. If there are other options available, they can go ahead and buy a service from them.

    I kind of see this the same but in more of a positive light.

    pool their resources

    Your neighbor's resources=their money, your resources=your time and knowledge. You could possibly create a full-time and well-paying job for yourself running your neighborhood's network.

    And for the football reference, are they referring to actual football, or soccer??

    Cant get to the article from work, but is there anyone out there that has not seen this coming?? Anyone can pick up a controller and play a game, where it actually takes some time and effort to learn to skate.

    Yeah, and after that you will be utilizing its warranty for the robotic suicide of falling down the stairs.

    This looks like a badass robot and of course I want one, but from the pictures, I don't think that it would be able to go down stairs to well.

    I just thought it was a reference to the Seinfeld episode where Jerry owes Banya dinner and he orders soup so he claims it doesn't count.

  9. Re:So it is "ethical" provided no one makes a mist on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 1

    That would be termed an "accident". The same if ANYONE accidentally wandered into freeway traffic.

    By your logic it would still be termed an accident if the kid wandered on to the battlefield and was killed by a robot, because the intent of the person who designed the robot was to not kill innocents.

    The celeb thing in these posts started with the movie Armageddon, which is why I referred to Liv Tyler.

    That is less a question of ethics and more one of stupidity.

  12. Missed A Step?? on Ethical Killing Machines · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If we can create things like this, why haven't we previously had robots on the battlefield controlled by soldiers that works like an FPS? I can understand that there would be a lag issue (haha) but you think they would have tried this before going to a completely automated system. As for the fear aspect, I think a soldier would have less of an itchy trigger finger if it was a robot on the line that can just be replaced rather than their life.

    What, do you guys just whip it out and compare your junk in the bathroom where you work?? Sounds like a very productive place.

    As long as it gets rid of Bruce Willis it's a win-win situation. And keeps Liv Tyler, and I become her for a day, and go jogging all day holding a mirror in front of me.

    So now we will be able to see asteroids that could slam into our planet and possibly end life, but then what? Hit it with a missile or go Armageddon style on it?

    I wish I could see the cartoon, but I cant get there from work.

    How would you feel if someone told you you didn't exist?

    TBH, I wouldn't feel anything, I am not one to get myself stuck in an existential conundrum as such. Also, who out there hasn't been insulted by someone on the internet? People (being gender neutral here) need to thicken their skin a little and not be so easily offended. Being catholic, my religion is insulted on a daily basis, probably under almost every article submitted on this site. I am going to say what I have said on a post before and was marked as a troll for:

    No the scientists are debating on whether or not it is man-made, or just part of the natural cycle. The article provided previously shows that melting is slowing, which demonstrates the the natural cycle of our earth's warming and cooling.

    How about the fact that its not actually happening: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/27/ice-from-ancient-global-warming-stirs-climate-deba/ And to repeat again what I said before, the science is still out, if it wasn't we wouldn't be debating, just like we aren't debating gravity.
