Soon we'll have a strictly robot army to deploy against the impoverished brown people we've decided to stop supporting and start killing.

By the way...how is that thing controlled? Satellite? AWACS?

Can't wait for the first one to fly out there and crash and get picked up by Iran or China.

Like all the unmanned bombers we use now, it's controlled stateside by some geek warriors in nebraska or texas.

Seriously...stateside? I thought that the drones in Afghanistan were controlled remotely through bases in Afgahnistan, Iraq, ships in the gulf.

Stateside? That's farging amazing. Someone keep tabs on the mother brain.

How long until it becomes self aware?

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

It's only a matter of time before the robots take over. This will be a huge step towards totally robotic armies. Kind of scary when you think how easy it is for people to hack into computer systems. Just takes a few smart mofo's with the know how to hack into something and reprogram it. End game. I'm sure we will be dead by then and hopefully zombies attack before robots get a chance.

I thought it was August something of 1997.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

being a serviceman myself, i'm obviously amazed by the technology used in modern/futuristic weaponry and the role it could play in combat and the lives it could save.  being a dude, that ish gives me a stiffy. 

but being a person who thinks that war is almost a completely unnecessary waste of life and serves almost no substantial purpose other than to leave millions of families sonless, fatherless, brotherless and husbandless, it's kind of sickening how much money we spend on things designed to take lives rather than invest some of it in things to preserve it. 

I'm of the opinion that investing in technology of this kind does preserve lives and help keep the peace.
