I wrote my master's thesis at Ohio State using these robots. They're actually quite capable... quite extensible with wireless communication, etc. They're good for swarm/game theory type experiments.
I do, however, call shenanigans on this article. The claim seems a little lofty to me, considering the experiment. Image recognition is not self-awareness... even if that image is a picture of yourself. It's not like this robot was feeling shame, guilt, or pride. THAT's self-awareness.
Doesn't this just open the door to Open Source Xbox Live servers, a la Battle.net? It seems that this would be a very popular hack. Methinks that's why MS wanted to keep control of the closed protocol.
Just film it yourself. Buy a digital video camera, get lots of footage, and edit a demo tape. If it's really that interesting, National Geographic, PBS, Discovery, or someone might buy it. They would likely reedit your footage with voiceovers, etc., but expecting them to foot the bill of sending a crew, etc. is a longshot.
You mentioned that Discovery is only interested in talking to Producers... there you go. Become a producer.
I hear you, but i disagree. I always reccomend Gentoo to linux newbies. It forces you to get past the GUI to really understand what's going on. I didn't ever "get it" until I installed Gentoo the first time. Now I stay with it out of loyalty. No other distro taught me more.
True re: binary packages. If GEntoo offered a --binary option, it would be perfect. I meant "supposed to work" in that packages are available almost immediately after release. Debian is synonymous with slow. As in "Your Camry is sooo D3b1an. My Civic is l33t."
That's the best part of Gentoo... the people who care the least about a new version of Gentoo are the Gentoo users. It's a beautiful model... they way Debian was supposed to work.

Combined cycle power plants aren't exactly revolutionary. They're more efficient, but more expensive to buy and maintain.

Sure it will. The newest patched kernel sources are downloaded with emerge updates. Sorry, that will take one more command. >> genkernel Done.
