    I hate to correct myself, but quadrapeds do better than wheels in another environment:. ice and snow. Probably other situations where lack of traction is an issues as well.

    Sure, but is there a leader board hosted on the internet giving up to the minute stats on whose created creature has done the best job of killing it's competitors? No, I didn't think so!

    Isn't it obvious? They, for one, welcome their new robotic overlords!

    Just wait until you're invited to be the first non-voluntary contestant on DARPA's hit new game show, "So, you think you can outrun a homicidal robotic cheetah?"

    Real cheetahs use their tail for stability, not their skin.

    Worse yet, these aren't the sex bots I've been waiting for! We do we waste all this money developing robots for war when we could be developing robots for the opposite purpose?

    Give me a dirt bike and I'll go faster than you almost anyplace you can go on foot -- the only exception is up a tree. Of course, if they train this robot to climb trees, then we're all well and truly fucked!

    Of course, a dirt bike actually consists of 2 wheels occasionally aided by an outrigger leg on each side...

    Charles Manson has been in jail for 42 years now, so I'm sure he's changed his attitude by now and he's certainly safe to release back into society!

  20. I do see one potential problem with this on Human Sexuality Class Includes Live Demo · · Score: 1

    I was 17 when I started college. Unless he checked IDs for everyone there, they may be able to bring up charges for allowing minors to be present at this demonstration. Other than that, I don't see any problem with consensual viewing of explicit material.

  21. Re:Your needs/desires aren't everyone's needs/desi on Hands On With Apple IPad 2 · · Score: 2

    We were obviously referring to flash memory (e.g. SD or microSD cards), not RAM. And there are tradeoffs; if it is removable, the OS must check to see if it is there, know when it has been inserted or removed, and handle the situation where what it expected to be stored isn't what is there. It also creates a vector for the introduction of malware or even (gasp!) software not sold through the app store onto the device.
