    I've studied all the robot uprising TV shows and movies in depth and the way to beat them is to implant one with a virus that spreads from one to another over their network.

    its ok, WOPR will kick Skynet's ass, maybe they will have a game of chess instead?

    Having studied all the alien invasion movies I can confirm that all technology is susceptible to viruses from Windows 95 laptops!

    Risk of robot uprising wiping out human race to be studied


    Cambridge researchers are to assess whether technology could end up destroying human civilisation.
    The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) will study dangers posed by biotechnology, artificial life, nanotechnology and climate change.

    They will be defeated by batteries. Apart from remote controls(which everyone knows run forever on even totally flat batteries), anything that has a battery is fecked pretty rapido. last time I checked, robots had batteries.

    do you really think the mower wouldnt have thought about that, you really havent been thinking this through. all i can say is go outside today and get yourself a big rock .

    The scientists said that to dismiss concerns of a potential robot uprising would be "dangerous".

    How in the name of sense did these "scientists" manage to wrangle funding for this "research".

    They definitley sat around smoking weed, watching Robocop and Irobot and the like.

    What's the rock for? Does the mower know how to get up my stairs? What if I manage to get on the back of it before it goes mental......I could take it from behind by surprise like!

    Wait, has anyone told Arnie yet?

    after studying mechatronics and robotics for 8 friggin years i would happily throw money at such research.

    From working with robotics during my time,i found that robots always conflict with each other.

    you have 2 options with the rock,

    1. throw it and hope mower thinks its a dog and will run or drive after it or
    2. blunt its blades with it.

    on your question on whether it can climb your stairs , i doubt it really, i think you might be safe there... unless its motor pully string thing pulls itself up there. just to be on the safe side, just have a bucket of long wet grass , that ussually does the trick with mine.

    on your last one, if you take it from behind . i think you should keep your kinky sex secrets off this thread. start one up of your own if thats the subjects you really want to talk about
