Could Segways replace soldiers as hired killers?. If DARPA says so [The Register] Need I say more? The time is coming when we will either have to obey the robots, or we must die. What's better yet, a lot of video clips accompany the article so you can see just how far things are progressing. Jumping on to the Segway bandwagon has paid big dividends for the autonomous robot people. 6:53:46 PM    comment []

Get It in Writing: Travel Info. Thousands of travelers still buy printed guides listing every flight to and from each city. Far from being driven out of business by the Internet, airline and auto guides are still popular with frequent travelers who want an edge. [Wired News] Looks like some folks know ALL the secrets. I found the equivalent guide for that Airline I took down to Atlanta. What was their name again? It wasn't Delta, and it began with an 'A'. [it was AirTran] Anyway, it was interesting because it had all the flights in it. But I guess when you're faced with being a half day late or making your afternoon meeting, you got to spend some money and buy the guides. 6:52:09 PM    comment []
