Before you go troll hunting, read the thread.:)
If Russia or China were to get ahold of these bots, they could easily dump the code, reprogram it and burn the new code into the bot.
Yea, they could, but it wouldnt do much good. The robots use "ducted fans" for propulsion. This means that to have any control they must be in a pressurized atmosphere. They could fit this thing with all the weapons they want but it would still have to be housed inside some sort of pressurized container (space ship). If they wanted to use it outside the space station they would have to fit it with some sort of air jet. This is nearly the same as designing one from scratch. So, no, I dont see a problem with selling these for profit.
Nope, too late. I remember hearing on the news about 6-7 years ago that someone came out with Serial Killer trading cards complete with Jeffery Dahmer, Charles Manson....
I dont know how popular they became but I still think its pretty sad that criminal activity is glorified in popular culture.
More like text editor for people who have better things to do than learn cryptic editor commands, if I wanted to do that shit, I'd still be using edlin.
While learning the "cryptic editor commands" may seem difficult at first they allow you to more complicated tasks much faster. Macros are just one example.
I agree though, that Pico is a good text editor for doing simple tasks, but to do more complicated tasks emacs (of Vi) can save tons of time

Where I'm from (specifically, a rural area), we call those things "trucks". Ever try to haul a tractor or a cord of firewood in an SUV?
A truck is great for transportation in a rural area if you only have a few people, but if you have to move more than a few people, an SUV may be your only option on rough roads.
What's the 'per article' limit?
I read in the moderator guidelines that they are considering putting a limit on the amount of posts that one person can post to a topic. You can look in the FAQ for more information.
And yes I agree its really annoying when trolls mod you down...
Apple may be spurred into taking over future development...
Slashdot did not post your article because this is not guarenteed to happen. If Apple were to take over development of powerPC processors then I'm sure the article would be posted. As of now it is only speculation.
Exactly what kind of traffic situation exists where MORE speed is necessary to be safe? Please don't say "when I have to pass a truck".
1. When I have to pass a truck... a few years ago I sped up to pass a salt truck on the highway. As I was passing the load became unstable and the truck flipped. Moral of the story: Don't take your time passing a truck on the highway.
you will not be safer by accelerating around someone who is driving badly.
I dont know about eveyone else, but I would rather be in front of someone who is driving badly then behind, that way if they get into a wreck I am in no danger.
I dont know about anyone else, but I'd let just about anyone use me as their sex slave... females only of course
I wouldn't want some skanky alien bitch to reverse engineer me, and use me for her sex slave.
The chances of an alien race happening to find this spacecraft are slim to none.
It is more likely the space craft will be obliterated by an asteriod or some space rock then happening to fly by some space ship and getting detected by aliens.
Lets all admit what this project is all about.
Its a way of publicly funding a mission to test the concept a space sail.
In windoze, you can browse through the cached files in the "temporary internet files" folder.
Just clear the cache before she comes to visit. She probably wont think to delete these files after she logs off.
When she leaves you will have a pretty good idea what she was looking at just by looking through the web cache.

wah, wah, wah, none of my articles ever get posted, wah, wah, wah, I post off-topic and it gets moderated as off-topic

Let me translate: We feel Linux if a threat to the Windows operating system and we dont want to aid in its development.

Just my 2 cents...
