    well its like this. it LEARNS new things. it recognizes your voice, face, height, EVERYTHING! even it's own enviroment. and whats so amazing about it is that it acts like a human! if you get in its way, it stops, gets on the side, and lets you through! and its about $40,000. it has a motion sensor. so say you touch his back, he'll turn around and look at you. if you push it down, gets back up. walks PERFECTLY on two feet, if the hieght for walking changes, he adapts to it. you guys dont understand it since your not into sci-fi, robotics, computers and all that. =) but if you do... heh, we're livin in teh future!

    Right, right.

    And once he relaizes that he's a slave to the humans and that his shoulder-equipped rocket launchers can be used for more than just cockroach extermination, then what?

    I think that Sony didn't watch Terminator 3.

    And I hope that there's another major electronics company working on a robot destroyer ray?

    Yeah, it's called a Golf Club, it wouldn't take much to take out one of those.

    You can't make a movie out of destroying a bunch of robots with a <i>golf club</i>. It's at least got to be a nuclear-powered-ultra-shineh-rocket-propeled-golf-club-of-lazor-d00m to make a proper movie....

    Really, Liku.

    And you call yourself a script writer.

    well terminator3 is a sci-fi. robots cannot take over the planet since they cannot make up their own damn minds! we have to constantly tell them what to do with our words, or just with controls! robots cant act on their own. this is because if they did, their memory would go low from ONE HOUR! trying to remember how to walk, talk, see, touch, listen, taste, FEEL EMOTION, thats all part of our lives, but robotics is something different. check this site out for more info on robotics.

    <a href='http://www.howstuffworks.com' target='_blank'>http://www.howstuffworks.com</a>

    search for robotics or robotic life with humans

    Dont worry about it. The us spends obscene amounts of its budget on the military if we need a robot ray we'll get one <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->.
