Boston Dynamics made Big Dog a few years ago...probably the same thing with a different name (e.g. Boston Dynamics worked on it for DARPA) but it's pretty cool. I especially like the video where it's slipping on ice but never falls. http://www.bostondynamics.com/robot_bigdog.html
Why should company A work with company B to share innovations? If company A has an innovation, that would give it an advantage of its competition so they shouldn't share it unless they get something equally good in return. Sharing innovation is stupid and demotivates those to innovate.
I think we've gotten off track a bit. Someone previously asked, "Is this the first example of animal art?" A few replies went back and forth saying it wasn't art due to the definition of what "art" is. Humans don't think it's art but maybe it is art to the spiders. Kind of akin to you and I looking at a painting and us each taking opposing views of whether or not the painting were "art."
How is what I said illogical? If we use human-derived definitions they are inherently human-centric. I was replying to the AC who said "the definition of art" to the question posed in the post above his/her reply that asked "Says who?"
The definition of art that you're using was created by humans. If animals defined "art" it'd be totally different and human art wouldn't qualify. Same thing goes with defining intelligence (e.g. humans smart, tree stupid). For all we know, the spider's decoy may be art, an actual decoy, a "god", or a mating call, who knows? Applying human-centric beliefs kind of skews your judgement though.
Seems bass-ackwards...the TSA should have done this study before deploying these scanners. Of course now they have a vast pool of data (e.g. victims) to study so maybe this was their (nefarious) plan in the first place.
I predict on 12/22/2012 a "researcher" will reveal errors in the original interpretation of the Mayan calendar and will present a new end of the world doomsday prediction. T-shirts will go on sale shortly afterwards...

I'd love to see Facebook stand their ground and just eliminate Facebook access in Germany. Let's see how long it'll take for the public to demand Germany to change it's law to comply with Facebook.
That's the FUBARed system we live in...how about complaining about lobbyists and not pointing fingers at Google. I dislike Google as much as anyone but if they comply with the law then we all need to STFU. If the laws are messed up then we should address the laws, if the mechanism (e.g. lobbying) is messed up then we should address that. Do you expect Google to go out of their way to pay as much as possible? Do YOU try to pay as much as possible on your federal and state taxes or do you try to get whatever deductions as you can?
To bring up a quote I really dislike but is applicable, "don't hate the player, hate the game."
If the laws allowed Google to avoid paying taxes legally (which they did) then why should Google get scolded? I would get mad if lawmakers didn't close the loopholes but Google is doing nothing illegal.
Could this be part of North Korea's strategy? To put a satellite into an orbit, tumbling/apparently out of control, and conveniently in the path of something they want to destroy? It'd be difficult to calculate an orbit that would intersect with something (especially since North Korea probably still uses TRS-80's) but it'd be genius.
In any case, I bet it's just tumbling in a FUBARed orbit due to lack of skills with launching and deploying stuff.
Looks more like a metal coffin...or, if I'm being more politically correct it's a metallic enemy body parts containment vessel which is great as it makes for easy cleanup.
All these robots that are bound to escape, replicate, and attack us so I'm looking for investors to help me found a company to find ways to kill these robot overlords. Should be a growth industry as we'll take plenty of losses from the robot blitzkrieg.
Steam was released for Mac around May 12, 2010. To answer your question, I'd want to game on any platform I use daily. People use Linux for one reason or another and it's nice to be able to play a game or two.

I'm sure the EPA or Al Gore is going to file a claim against NASA for lunar warming or polluting the surface of the moon.
It's different because it's made up...

/. postings include plenty of random things so this fits in just fine.

I'm sure that's next. Invariably, someone always comes out to exploit something potentially good for society.
Don't want to complain or you might get Cox blocked.
Only after the obligatory tear-down which shouldn't take more than a few decades.

No, just a word that was translated poorly from the original Hebrew texts. An alternate translation would be mankind.
Good time to make a reference to How to Serve Man since we're looking at poor translations...
