Seriously, I wonder if a combination of those two robots would be possible? It would be an ideal combination, what with the ammount of small insects which hover just above most still waters...
It might not be immediately usefull, but anything that pushes robotics into new areas is good in my book. We've already done walking, flying and swimming bots, so why not skimming?

So they want us to treat DVD purchases like long term rentals? They're not really our property once we've paid for them, we're just borrowing them indefinately?
You do realise Cognac is a drink don't you? Not a manufacturer. And also, the glasses being refered to are of the drinking variety, not the vision improving sort. But apart from that...:)
What exactly is covered in that article that we didn't read about yesterday?
Just look at the replies, everyone is just going over the same "you'd totally get arrested" ground. There's nothing new to discuss, which begs the question, why post the story?

As a British person myself, I can gurantee you that when discussing an introduction to something, we would say Primer, with the I pronounced the same as in Private, or Primate. Dunno where you got your info about the 'small I' from...

What do you mean by the short 'I'? (i'm no good with those dictionary pronounciation guides)
Are we talking I as in 'eye', or the I in 'sit'?
But seriously, I am impressed with how cinematic the game looks. I'm hoping the opening sequence will be playable, like the Halflife pre-event stuff, it looks like a real nice tension builder the action kicks off.
While obviously it's hard to get excited about a screen and a bit of green circuit board, I still came away from that thinking "Why? When I could just get a PSP..."
It's going to play movies, it will handle music, and it can play PS2 quality games (on a 16:9 screen), the only downside is it has no hard drive, but the UMD discs have a decent enough capacity for my portable media needs, and besides it looks sexy as hell!
I always feel slightly wary around people who 'lol' at their own jokes... It's like people who use five exclamation points to sound zany!!!!! A sign of an unhinged mind for sure.

They did, it was called The Uranus Experiment, and they filmed the money shots on the original vomit comet, AFAIK.
If so I just know i'm going to have to to buy the first three again so they don't look stupid on the shelf together...
Doh, I posted that link and never noticed it was a different robot...

Here, no new info, but a couple of pictures of the dye tests and the robot itself.
I for one bow down before... blah blah blah
Well, if it's too small to be a space station, then it must be a moon, right?
there's a better solution than an outright ban?
Can't they just specify certain channels for private student networks?
That's a shame, it wasn't redundant when I started writing it :)

What if budding designers and contractors demostrated their skills by building free pubic buildings?
What, like short dark and curly houses?

Confirmed, and it's the original Doom head, but I think that's what you meant.
