Is it just me or is the irony that the Eat Locally is on a website of a publication that is wholly owned by the Disney corporation, one of McDonald's partners in crime?
Or they can switch the thing to text, no pictures. Most folks can't read over shoulders that quickly I've found.
Wouldn't radiation and EM emissions be a problem?

Micro-robots unveiled

· Score: 1
Given the size and mass of these robots I can't really imagine how they're effectively shielding them against radiation, which will hose up most delicate control circuits.
Also wouldn't the usual EM emissions of a nuclear plant or power plant interfere with the control and reporting mechanisms of these little bots?
Finally, getting a significant lens aperture for them that controllers can use might also be a problem.
Interesting idea there, that the internet is the medium of the "Kosovo conflict." Some of the other commentors commented on the lack of effectiveness and news organizations only going to the official source for information, which is sanitized for your protection.
Now, we have the opportunity to get the information on a war, but unfiltered. Its all editorials from amateur correspondents, with no professional ones at all.
While it is rough, it is a start. Now we, the net community have a chance to bypass official sources and get first hand opinions and facts. We no longer have to engage the debate solely on the predefined terms that the media uses. With a wider range of information avaialble, we can begin to finally decide for ourselves what to beleive or not, and on what terms the debate will be engaged.
Lord only knows what will come of this, but it will be interesting, especially for the next war.

Screw getting the parents involved. Press charges and go from there.
