    What exactly do you think an exoskeleton is?

    I saw nothing in the videos leading me to believe these weren't rc controlled. You can even see a the small orange 4 channel receiver on the supposed bot.

    Why does an autonomous robot need a 4 channel receiver, unless it's being flown by a pilot?

  3. Incorrect on Insect-Inspired Flying Robot Handles Collisions And Keeps Going · · Score: 1

    From all the videos they've posted all their devices are operated by a remote and pilot, this would make them little more than RC aircraft, nothing they've posted shows anything autonomous flight.

    Big difference between an rc and an autonomous robot.

    The problem is it's a National Park and as such protected from things such as this.

    The loss of say Old Faithful would be a loss of a national and natural treasure.

    All our old health care.

    Those without would still be going to ER's for treatment and not paying as usual. Those with insurance would still have their coverage and more of the money they earn in their pockets.

    Instead we are left with a dysfunctional presidential legacy.

    Note the 5 minutes is the amount of time it took me to get there after my brother saying "dad is having a heart attack", I lived a 15 minute drive from their house.

    Hmm my father once had a heart attack, he lived a 3 minute drive from the hospital. The options were to call emergency units possibly longer than that 3 minute drive or to load him in the car and drive like hell the few blocks to the hospital. Of note my brother did call 911, of note after I arrived after 5 minutes, the ambulance still hadn't arrived so I chose to drive him the short distance.

    My question would be why would you keep them in your home.

    I'd have them on some remote server somewhere that I only accessed via public terminal from different locations or even in a safety deposit box.

    Or encrypted in a way such as only I could decrypt.

    This administration lost my faith in my government 4 years ago.

    When their transparency never materialized and it's getting worse as each day passes.

    They've already demonstrated they don't give two shits about we the people. They care about their power, position, and their own wealth.

    They play with our money like a kid in a sandbox plays with ants.

    And they feel just as bad about it.

    Yep, they "hoped", we wouldn't mind the "change" to a police state.

    After all it's meant to fight terror and keep us in an imaginary state of feeling safe.

    Personally I felt just as safe on 9/11 as I did on 9/10. Sadly here it is 10/26/2013 and I feel less safe.

  12. Re:stfu. on F-Secure's Hypponen: The Internet Is a 'US Colony' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Would we really be at any higher a risk from terrorism? Personally I feel the antics carried out by the US Government (read my country) are all done under the guise of a war on terror. This war will never win and a whole new generation are being indoctrinated into not questioning the government because they are hunting terrorists to keep you safe.

    If I had my way all those shitheads in Washington would be tossed on their fucking ears, and all their assets would be put into the US treasury. Too many politicians these days are in the hip pocket of corporate America.

    Just another example of how some scheme up ways to take advantage of those than haven't any means.

    Another case of someone making their money off the class that can least afford to support themselves much less someone else.

    We still have those RtO centers here, I'm not surprised they do as well as they do. Personally until a year ago my family was using a tv I had gotten from my brother that he was going to throw out during a move because the vertical hold was gone. I took it home and replaced a $0.25 resistor and we used it for a bit over a year before we caught a flat screen Samsung on sale at Target for less than $200. Prior to that we had the tv we had purchased from Wally world when we got married 17 years ago, and it was working just fine.

    I've never really been one to have to have the latest and greatest gadgets, to me they are just gimmicks to separate you from your money for something you get convinced you can't live without. Of course that didn't apply to computers with me.

    Why mod Troll?

    AC is dead on on this one. If you have an Xbox a PS3 and a desktop (Windows) why on earth would you want to run Linux on your Desktop just so you can game?

    And to the mod that scored Troll on this, he's dead on for drivers as well. What always steered me clear of ditching Windows for good was the lack of driver support for Linux, Wine always ran my games worse than on Windows.
