The data doesnt back it up at all. Current life insurance policy is 400,000 dollars. If you add the training cost to that a human ends up costing much more than this robot. Every soldier goes through thousands of hours of training and plenty of ammo while they are being trained. None of that being free.
The bridge to the airport has nothing to do with Anchorage. It has everything to do with Ketchikan. Where one can plainly see the airport is on the other side of a marine highway. You know, like a channel that exists for large ships to move through.
In my research I've found that while tasers may be related in deaths to suspects throughout the country, they have also been instrumental in lowering the incidence of injury to both officers and suspects and lowering the rate of officer involved shootings
I found these reports here. I apologize for the horrible format of the pages, most are PDF files.
Why are you posting as AC, its not like we're not having a civilized discussion.
I think you're misunderstanding how military security operates. One man on the inside will invalidate pretty much any security measures. The trouble is where is your man on the inside coming from? No system is 100% resistant to all attacks, not even actual humans.
If the reaction force that responded to the incident was dumb enough to not be at a high enough state of alert when they got on the scene and gets ambushed thats a failure within their command and not a failure of the robot.
Todays thermal imaging devices aren't easily fooled by such methods as you describe. A bright flash may blind it for a second or so, but the devices can compensate for such things rather quickly. Also basic military tactics like overlapping fields of fire would assist in defeating the enemy sneaking around "to the right".
I don't have an answer for why there is a gun and not just a camera. The only reason i can think of is that a camera isn't scary enough to potential invaders. The sentry also most likely has some sort of manual mode so a human can take control of it to augment the defending force's firepower if they need to repel an attack. In Iraq I briefly (2 weeks) controlled a manual system (no ai targeting at all) that was fairly similar to this. I don't remember the name of it, but it was very accurate and functioned well both ground based and vehicle mounted. In the end we stopped use of it because there was no way for the operator to utilize non lethal methods to tell people they were getting too close to the checkpoint.
Pencils are lethal too, but we still give them to school children. The truth is that in the vast majority of cases if used correctly a stun gun is non lethal.
1) This is a sentry robot, something meant to go on a perimeter and protect a limited field of fire.
2) Being a sentry robot, this would be used with human supervision as a way to put the human out of the direct line of fire. If you covered the lens the humans monitoring it would know to go to that location because something went wrong.
3) See number 2.
4) That did not appear to be a visible light image, it looked more like thermal. That would require no light at all.
5) It has a limited ammo supply, but once it started shooting things undoubtedly humans would be dispatched to its location. It would be stupid to deploy these without significant human response forces in waiting because this couldn't harm any sort of armored vehicle, and we all know robots cease functioning properly at times.

In the military I've never seen such a thing as a "Battery set". All the current devices require different types of batteries, all the way from 123A to the BA5590. The BA5590 is used in most field radios and lasts anywhere from 12 to 48 hours depending on how much transmitting you're doing and what power setting you're on. It also happens to weigh 2.25 pounds by itself.
The 123A is usually used in flashlights and 2 last about 2.5 hours of continuous use. I don't know how much they weigh, but its about the same as a AA.
The important thing to remember is just how many things a soldier carries that require batteries. Laser range finders, night vision sights, thermal sights, Command Launch Units for Javelin missiles, infrared strobes, pretty much too many things to name.
But thats just creating more work for everyone, and only the first person actually gets any more gas. The hose was full when he started, so really he only paid for the gas that shot out the end. For him to then empty the hose, means that the next person would have to pay to fill the hose before they would even receive the benefit of gasoline. Once they were done filling the tank if they didn't empty the hose they would have paid to fill the hose for the nest selfish asshole that fills up and thinks he paid for the gas in the hose that was already there.
Neither Japan nor Germany devolved into such an all out state of unrest and civil war in the times they were occupied after war. Occupation of a country and installation of a new government are common things after armed conflicts. A population that would rather kill their countrymen than build a nation with them is not.
Or you could stop trying to troll and realize that 90% of those deaths are from Iraqi on Iraqi violence and not from American action.
Yes, I've been there, and i know what I'm talking about.
In EvE the control you are talking about starts in the station when you're fitting your ship. Most battles are determined by ship setups. Eve's ships being highly modular means that setting them up relies on personal skill and judgment. EvE is more strategy and tactics based than it is twitch based.
That being said, if you're just orbiting and letting things auto run either you're in a real easy fight or you aren't getting everything you can out of your ship. Battles can be lost and won depending on the timing of your repair cycles and capacitor amount.
Well judging by my MOS i was an Anti-Tank Assault Guided Missleman. That seems to be part of the infantry to me. Not all nerds are small, and not all infantrymen are dumb.
The problem is that people like you think going to iraq isnt serving your country, and chances certainly arent that you're going to die. When was the last time you went to iraq? I know i'm still alive after going there.
I do use my fingertips to move my mouse. Most people freak out and tell me that my mouse sensitivity is set too high, but by resting my wrist on the desk and gripping my mouse lightly i find that it helps me make much more precice motions.
As another note: I dont know if the owners of the "Pencil website" (i cant remember the name) read their bad review or not, but there is an option to get rid of the pencil cursor and get a standard cursor.

The best feeling is having one on the toilet. I did it every morning for 7 months, and its much more fun than just sitting there.
Unless you were trying to treat some sort of inner eye infection.
I thought it was whiny mc fatboy, and didn't realize that you just wanted an iPhone.
If you wanted privacy why did you go outside? Unless there were cameras in your hotel room too.

Throw those used BA5590s in the fire am i right? Get you some good fireworks and some toxic gases at the same time.

I'm unfamiliar with the way registered mail works, could you explain how the process would prove you mailed it on that date?

Ask on the forums, the help channel, ask me in game. My name is Karille.
40 pounds isn't much more than we already wear. I would be more concerned with weather or not it worked as intended.
I know that when i was in the Marine Corps i didn't get taxed on my income when i was in Afghanistan or Iraq.

"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Perhaps we should stop guessing about what the average user needs?
