I like logic, hence I dislike humans but love computers.

That was already scary enough.
Then I read this comment.

Incredible control, and I think the first new work we've publicly seen from Boston Dynamics since they joined Google.
That leaves little doubt in my mind,
Google is Skynet.
Keep it BASIC.

Poor little robot. They shouldn't give it a cute name because now I kinda feel bad for it when they kick it. This video is definitely going to piss off future generations of sentient robots and lead to the great robot uprising. Please spare me, future robot overlords! :D

If they programmed it to turn on you and go for the crotch when you kick it, people would kick it less often.

That's a brilliant piece of engineering. Would make a good guard dog - no feeding, no poop, always alert. Snag is, it will no doubt have a gun incorporated in the future and then we are all in danger.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

Looks like that robotics has made an incredible process during the last few months.

The latest human like acting masterpiece from Boston Dynamics: Atlas

Impressive and frightening at the same time. :shock:
[Dynamic-Dialogs] - create complex GUIs the easy way
[DeFlicker] - easily deflicker your resizeable Windows
[WinFX] - Window Effects (incl. 'click-through' Window)
