1960s Lucas electrical equipment

That reminds me of a firend of mine who had a thing for british cars: “Lucas, Lord of Darkness”.

Re the X-45C, it’s coming along really rather quickly: http://www.gizmag.com/boeing-to-develop-fighter-sized-uav-based-on-x-45c/11636/

I hope you all realise that when the robots become totally autonomous and take over they’ll be searching back through internet archives to find anti-robot talk, like some of the ahove, they’ll trawl archives for dissent, and they will know who to round up and target as potential enemies.

Do you want to have to front up to a robot interrogator one day in 2018 and explain why back in 2009 you started mouthing off like “Fuck those robots, man, we’ll kick their metal arses!”

And remember, robots can travel back in time from the future, so if you’re already mulling over plans for an anti-robot insurgency, you’ll probably have one crashing through your living room window any moment now.

"But can war-bots withstand disco?" Resistance is ~~futile~~ funky. "Open the disco doors Hal." "I'm sorry Dave, you're not on the door list."

Rob and moz: as usual, Adelaide is ahead of the curve in mutual hyper-surveillance. The whole State should be declared a protected panopticon and walled off.

To which I’d add

To your a) and b), Nab-1000, I'd add c) because they're awesome. They're not about to change the fundamentally human ritual of war, but damn, who can say no to war-bots?
