  1. Survivability in desert? Mountains? on The Future of Battlefield Robots · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How would they get the infrastructure in place to charge these things in a hot desert setting? Or in the mountains of Afghanistan. I mean, the terrain itself would be impossible to negotiate.

    And the problem in both those places is that the enemy is unknown. Every civilian is a potential guerilla.

    Seems like a solution, but to the wrong problem.

  2. Given the "intelligence" of the Pentagon's leaders on The Future of Battlefield Robots · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...what's the point of smart robots?

  3. My experience from Canada on Have Fujitsu Harddrives Been Failing in Record Numbers? · · Score: 1

    Had a Fujitsu Model MPF3204AH, manufacture date June 2000, failed in Dec 2001 My friend had a MPF3204AT also manufactured June 2000, failed in Oct 2002. Never again to Fujitsu drives! In the past I've had a Quantum drive fail. No personal problems with Conner, Western Digital or Maxtor (so far)

  4. Massive dual monitors, comfy chair, silence on Finding the Programming Zone? · · Score: 1

    * Massive dual 21" monitors running at 1600x1280
    * Cordless optical mouse
    * Comfy chair
    * Silence
    * Nobody close by, but I don't like to be completely alone coz it creeps me out especially in creaky buildings at night
    * Non-greasy snacks, because I can't stand greasy keyboards or mice
