Robot Apocolypse-comming soon?
http://www.cracked.com/article_19279...r-upon-us.html
That article has me kind of freaked out. Why isn't there someone in our government going "holy shit, Terminator!". They really should make watching terminator a requirement to work in robotics, because if you read the article carefully, it describes how it is currently possible to build a terminator that is stronger than what is in the movies. Even dropping it in a pool of molten metal might not be enough to stop it. All we lack currently seems to be the AI, currently they're just working on teaching it how to avoid getting destroyed, then apparently comes teaching it how to kill.

Two words: EMP resistant
The military already has EMP resistance standards for their equipment.

Technically, if you want to count EMP Resistant in words, that is three words :P
But that is true, I had forgotten about that 
Well, if someone decides to make an army of killer robots that are EMP resistant, they had it coming to them.

...Predator Drones?
Besides that, I'd say most stuff is fairly EMP resistant, considering the sun screws with everything, ALL THE TIME, and that I walked down the street yesterday and all the streetlights went out, one by one....
I'm attributing that to the electromagnetism of the human brain.

Err... I thought there was something of significance here. My mistake. When something of consequence along these lines comes along ...
Ah'll be bach.

Yeah. Nothing to see here. Terminator wont ever happen. It's about as likely as a zombie apocalypse.

I survived the Rapture, so I'm sure I'll survive what ever new apocalypse happens soon.

Perhaps we should celebrate Robotika.
