Skynet?

Is this how it begins? Apparently some of the robots used in the Iraq war displayed strange behavior which I can only describe as 'turning on their makers' and have now been recalled. It wouldn't be a problem if these robots were those small anti-land mine things. No, these were the ones with the mounted machine guns...

#10: Planetary Alignment Decreases Gravity

In 1976 the British astronomer Patrick Moore announced on BBC Radio 2 that at 9:47 AM a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event was going to occur that listeners could experience in their very own homes. The planet Pluto would pass behind Jupiter, temporarily causing a gravitational alignment that would counteract and lessen the Earth’s own gravity. Moore told his listeners that if they jumped in the air at the exact moment that this planetary alignment occurred, they would experience a strange floating sensation. When 9:47 AM arrived, BBC2 began to receive hundreds of phone calls from listeners claiming to have felt the sensation. One woman even reported that she and her eleven friends had risen from their chairs and floated around the room.

Command & Conquer: Continuum (Cancelled)

Command & Conquer: Continuum was to be Westwood's second MMORPG, developed on the "Westwood 3D" engine, set in the Tiberian Universe. It was canceled, due to the termination of Westwood Studios in 2003. As said by Adam 'Ishmael' Isgreen and Rade Stojsavljevic, it was supposed to be a non-stand-and-swing MMORPG, featuring:

• Instanced "crisis zones" in it, hubbed flight routes, scripted boss battles, and a lot of other ideas that have shown up in all the MMORPG since.
• GDI, Nod, Mutants and CABAL. Scrin to be added later. Los Angeles half underwater, Area 51, Dino island, Newark airport, a mutant city and lots more.
• Fluid and movement-oriented combat, unlike most MMORPGs. Range was important for weapons use, and there were layers of counters for the weapon types.
• Creatures that had many console-game-boss sensibilities, in that you could expose weaknesses on them and then hit those for extra damage.
• A moving and evolving Tiberian world, where the players could play a great role in the entire story.

If you were a fan of the original CnC series you'd know why this sounds cool. Why, EA, why? And I thought Generals was to worst thing to happen to the CnC universe (don't even get me started), apparently I was wrong.

Theory vs Experiment

A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it.
An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.
