  2. Re:I, for one, welcome our new Exoskeleton Overlor on Commercial Exoskeletons · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its all a tradeoff. Lose efficiency for increased flexibility.

  3. Re:Every adolescent geeks dream... on Commercial Exoskeletons · · Score: 2, Insightful
    No. It's well known in robotics that 2-legged=bad. Maintaining static stability means the robot is slow and requires a lot of power, and dynamic stability means the robot is likely to fall over.

    It used to be that instability in aircraft was bad. Now unstable fly-by-wire fighters are very manouverable. Unstable is great if you can deal with it.

    legal and ethical guidelines in place before they are initiated.

    That doesnt make any sense. At all.

    That would be like saying spam is unethical, before there was spam. Before there was email. Or like saying hacking/phishing is bad, before the all-encompassing web existed. Heck, people didnt know "bugs" existed until they started programming computers ...

    Ethics before technology ? doesnt work

  11. Re:It's harder than that... on Metcalfe's Law Refuted · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have you seen the ad with roaches running all over it ? It made me want to scratch my skin out.
