SKy news are reporting a pretty impressive user-friendly robot that can perform basic tasks better than the human equivalent here: http://bit.ly/4rcQ8z
Thank you so much Obnoxio, for this notice :-) Now I'm looking through your posts on MP's expenses for some good Obnoxio quotes, re a short article on University cuts!!!
KEVIN FUCKING WARWICK?
I thought that idiot had gone to ground.
On a related note, the missus found Alan Turing's calculator the other day and recently dealt with a Japanese film crew who wanted to see a Turing Machine. Its Turing crazy around here.
Apparently old Alan was a big believer in telepathy, and even made provisions for it in his writings on the Turing test.
Ryan beat me to it.
Professor Kevin "I may be a cunt but I'm a cyborg cunt" Warwick? I thought even the minor exposure he was getting as one of Susan Greenfield's "Great Mistakes" was too much of the oxygen of oxygen for him.
