  8. Re:protip on Internet Sites Biased Towards Supporting Suicide · · Score: 1

    OMG, why troll, that's really funny. It my new favourite suicide method, especially if you landed just right and someone took a pic n put it online. You could be a new Meme! 'Head pulled off guy'. Beats my old fav of jumping out of a plane riding a nuclear bomb onto a doomsday machine trigger.

    and the guy who does their job after they are dead will pay the same amount.

    It's like a .45, but it scores badly in IQ tests.

  13. Re:Wouldn't a video be nice? on Distance Record Broken For a Walking Robot · · Score: 1

    I'd love to kick that fucker like they did to Big Dog.

    I don't think it would take it very well.

  14. Re:Quite an achievement, yet... on Distance Record Broken For a Walking Robot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can beat that, I got a Vehicle that can go for miles, it runs on biofuel, that (if available) it can locate and gather itself whenever it stops, and it never needs parts and can repair minor damage itself. It is self guiding once familiarised with the route and automaticly follows roads, it automaticly detects dangerous terrain and will automaticly retreat from attackers. It can achive both reasonably fast speeds on the flat and navigate over rough and muddy terrain. It is fully recyclable and it is relatively easy to manufacture new ones from 2 existing models. It can carry up to 2 passengers and luggage, or can carry a larger amount of luggage. It can also pull another vehicle behind it and it can also work in a team to pull large vehicles. It's only drawback is it needs a human to guide it on any Journeys.

    It's called a Horse.

    You can also get other great vehicles in the 'Animals' range, there's a specialised desert vehicle, (Camel), off road luggage and passenger carrier (Donkey and Mule), and a compact highly adaptable model adaptable for combat, intruder detection, search and rescue, headspace analysis, and home entertainment (Dog).

  15. Re:This is very interesting on Distance Record Broken For a Walking Robot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But humans aren't actually bipedal when they climb mountains. When on a really steep slope you need to use your hands.


    Wheels are way more efficient than legs on flat surfaces, which is why bikes exist. legs are great for lumpy surfaces, but they need to be proper legs, like on Big Dog, not the stupid sticks on this thing. I think people need to distinguish between 'real' walking robots that can wlak over anything and stupid wobble-bots like this that can only shuffle along on smooth surfaces. Take this fucker out onto a grass track outside, and then lets see how efficient it is.

  16. Re:I thought, everything that could go wrong in Ir on Robot Rebellion Quelled in Iraq · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's not a rebellion, the little robot just wanted to fit in with the other American soldiers.

  17. Re:Somehow reminds me of Asimov... on Robot Rebellion Quelled in Iraq · · Score: 1

    No robot ever breaks the 1st law though, except in Lil lost robot, where they change the 1st law which introduces a loophole.

  21. Re:Ray-Tracing Extremely CPU Intensive on Crytek Bashes Intel's Ray Tracing Plans · · Score: 1

    depends on how much action is going on, at 30fps you games will look perfectly smooth unless you turn quickly, then the steps between the images will be too large to perceive as smooth motion.

  23. Re:Turing Machine! on IBM Creates Working "Racetrack Memory" · · Score: 1

    Well, I'll have you know, I already have full plans for the formation of the new and superior society of nerdtopia.

    Revoke my geek card if you must, but on being chalenged to make a lego computer, I'd just use an RCX. ;) Yea, I'm lazy and have no sense of wonder.
