    Rules of engagement only apply when everyone is into the rules of engagement thing.


    Otherwise all bets are off and you better be sharp or die.


    Sorry...it's war.

    @strider_mt2k: My dad told me the only fair fight is the one the loser said he was involved in. As a DCI agent, he said that the fight you should be in is one that you are fighting to win. If that involves kicking them in the nuts, or punching them in the throat, do it. You can deal with the derision from others while you back in the glory of your win.


    Same goes for war. Its difficult to comfort the victims of a dirty bomb by telling them we could have stopped it, but do to the rules of engagement, we just couldn't pull the trigger.


    On point the the vest above, I hope they don't have it clearly marked where the good places to shoot are that don't set off the bomb, otherwise if the bad guys get a hold of the plans, they will just put a special little trip switch there that we will be sure to shoot, thus setting off the bomb.

    This is cool and all, but until they can simulate sharks with lasers on their heads, the US military will not be trained sufficiently to take out rich, industrial megalomaniac type terrorists. That's where the real risk is.

    There was something on history or discovery channel where it was an armored vehicle that had a rotating drum with chains mounted on it that would trip the mines. It seemed much better/efficent.

    i think this was it [www.landmineclearance.com]

    @pellier: Both approaches are good... sometimes you want that sensual but invigorating massaging action, and then other times you want the kinky, flailing-chains action.

    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!

    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.
