Think the one thing this robot needs is a red light cycling from
side-to-side?

Sorry - no time for religious/political/personal debates - just a
quick driveby while I have WIFI.


I like the comment " US aerospace'n'killware goliath ". Son in law works
on
GPS sats for the government. Says the big thing is the unmanned planes.
The bad guys in Afghanistan worry more about those than troops. they are
up
there unseen, but carry bad arse bombs and rockets.


"The X-47B, in fact, will be one of the first true killer robots, able
to conduct a mission using live weapons without needing to communicate
with pilots or even supervisors on its mother ship or back in the
USA..."


What if the thing blows a chip and develops "Hal-9000" syndrome?

Wasn't there a movie out about somethng like this. A squadron of four
including Will Smith?, a girl pilot, another guy and a robot plane that goes
rogue.
