Love to see the hand signal for "terminate the first born male child in every family".

Can hear the testers comments now..

hand signal... hand signal.. "ahh damn he's ripped the captains nads off again!"

So long as the droid army's central computer can be shut down by a couple of Proton Torpedoes, we should all be fine...

[[It would seem only a matter of time until more advanced concepts like "root out cowering meatsacks" or "terminate the first born male child in every family" can be conveyed.]]

The point of code signals is they separate the complexity of a concept being described from the difficulty in conveying it. If the robot can understand a lifted arm for "stop", it can understand a down-bent-arm for e.g. "fetch me six pints of ice-cold from across the street."

Paris, because the robot reminds me of her.

... Oh no he isn't...!

It backs away when someone walks toward it, what kind of warrior bot is that? Then again it could be making sure the fleshy can't reach the 1/0 switch... Oh yeah, here's a hand gesture for ya!

Too Jewish

Mine's the one with a copy of Blazing Saddles in the pocket

How soon before it is able to detect (and shoot) possessed marines? Or aliens masquerading as humans like in The Invaders or V? Or lizard overlords? Or Google Streetview cars? Or Kevin "Captain Cyborg" Warwick? Or vultures masquerading as humans like in the Register's editorial office? I think we should all be told. (I also think we should all get ready to duck!)

nah.. The real future is in bio-engineered cuttlefish... http://xkcd.com/520/

This thing would've been handy in the Father Ted episode where they get stuck in the women's lingerie department.

"Terminate all non-priests" or something.

could be interesting........

[Paris for the obvious reasons]

Doom 3 Sentrybots going after Google Streetview cars?

<popcorn>

<beer>

<sofa>

Roll film please.

A one-act comedy with added .30-cal slaughterfest action. Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

If a marine can halt it by raising an arm, surely an insurgent can do the same?

Thumbs up because the fonz would want a robot like that!

Now if they just add a rack for my golf clubs and they might have a winner.......

..then again how would it interpret my golf swing ?
