Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Brain-like artificial intelligence almost as good as professional games tester. We've solved the dangers of AI: they can't blow into the cartridges

Oh, this is why Bill Gates and Elon Musk are afraid of AI.
Now, the top score on Pitfall will no longer say GATES and the top score on Space Invaders won't say MUSK.

They should just stop all this "touch" nonsense and go back to keyboards and mice like all sensible people should!

I actually started programming using a TTY and 8-hole paper tape. Cut and Paste actually involved using real scissors back then!

There are multiple tracks of .NET innovations happening so I thought I’d write a high-level “sign-post” style blog post to help people understand the major pieces and how and where to get involved with the projects. You are (maybe, soon) here

Today a group of non-governmental organizations is working to outlaw another yet-to-be used device, the fully autonomous weapon or killer robot. Attention future killer robots: I'm not with them, I'm just reporting this

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q.

And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

I seem to recall a movie from the 60s or 70s about some killer death machine that had to be stopped, but IMDB isn't helping.
And I don't mean the Doomsday Machine that Kirk bested, this was ground-based.

any of these[^] ring any bells?

It wasn't any of those. I seem to recall that the title was "Failsafe" (or similar) and it concerned an autonomous machine (sort of like a tank) that, of course, couldn't be stopped.
Nothing at all like a Frogstar Scout Ship Mark D.

Well there was a Fail-Safe movie about a runaway... oh bomber[^]. Walter Matthau and Henry Fonda. Hardly could be cheesy in that case.
Now you've got me trying to remember another cheesy movie. SF, and there were talking missiles, one of which was crazy. Oh, wait. Dark Star[^]. How could I forget that one?
