    Clearly the simplest solution is to program the robots to have a deep affinity and love for dinosaurs. Then we genetically recreate dinosaurs that wanna have sex with robots. When the robots go crazy, release the dinosaurs.


    Pretty soon the robots will be fucked.

    @BeautifulAgony: I know...it's just too bad that it made for a terribly flimsy premise in a movie that should not have been all about the robot trying to kill people. Oh, nematodes create oxygen after they eat stuff, but who cares, the ROBOT IS TRYING TO KILL US!

    You people are missing the point. The whole reason for having combat robots is so we can leave them to work autonomously and never think of them again. There is no reason whatsoever to ever worry about them. No reason whatsoever.

    @DixonCyparissus: You left some words out, so I'm not sure what you're implying.


    If you are refering to my time spent at Fleshbot... how does that factor in to this? It's not secret that I love porn. In fact, I suspect that many people do and that there just might be a great deal of it hidden out there on the intarwebz!

    @BeautifulAgony: Since the internets are 96% porn I don't think there's too much hidden, although some of it (ie: 2 girls, 1 cup) should be....

    Nothing that can't be solved with a few well-placed rounds of .50 BMG AP. Or better yet .338 Lapua Magnum.

    @RogueWarrior: I dont know anything about these magical bullets youre talking about but if Military Tactics by Michael Bay is to be believed as gospel (hint it is). Then the best course of action is to jump onto a motorcycle and slide it under the rampaging robot while shooting it with a sabot round from a grenade launcher.

    Since Gizmodo posted the parody video of this amazing piece of engineering, everytime I see a real article or video about this, I can't help but think of two people in black spandex getting kicked through a snow fence.


    Thanks Giz.

    @mikecoscia: Me too! I think the point of making it quieter is interesting. I can't remember from any of the videos ,but I always imagined it making WAY TOO much noise not to be telegraphing it's position... Can't wait to see BigDog's bigger brother.
