Robots

When are we gonna have robots in every household substituting for PC's and annoying chores?
Well the pentagon held an unmanned vehicle race competition http://www.darpa.mil/grandchallenge/
I think it was a pretty cool idea and its great to see a government this passionate about science. CMU (Carnegie Mellon University) came in first. GOOOO PITTSBURGH $2 mill FTW

EDIT: Net Neutrality; am just for letting the market be free.

Sanitarium by metallica brings calm and serenity to my being... here are the lysrics:

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well he's getting better, can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well but they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

You know Carnegie-Mellon has a university in Qatar and organizes robotics contests in the Gulf countries? I think Kuwait participated this last year.
