The robots are coming! // at 17:00
So, slashdot is good for something sometime!
The story New Robots Hunt Pirates by Sea, linking to a Popular Mechanics article is interesting enough, but as always, it is the comments that make the story. A quick read and the two that had me spraying coffee are:
Pirate Dread
“We are the Dread Pirate Robots. There will be no survivors.”
If only we had a remotely-operated wheelbarrow... That would be something!
I feel safer already
What could possibly go wrong? I mean, I'd love my cruise ship to get checked out by the naval equivalent of ED-209.
“YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO COMPLY”
