Through its little-known "1033 program," the Department of Defense gave away nearly $500 million worth of leftover military gear to law enforcement in fiscal year 2011 — a new record for the program and a dramatic rise over past years' totals, including the $212 million in equipment distributed in 2010. The surplus equipment includes grenade launchers, helicopters, military robots, M-16 assault rifles and armored vehicles. And the program's recent expansion shows no sign of slackening: Orders in fiscal year 2012 are up 400 percent over the same period in 2011, according to data provided to The Daily by the Pentagon's Defense Logistics Agency. "The trend toward militarization was well under way before 9/11, but it's the federal policy of making surplus military equipment available almost for free that has poured fuel on this fire," Tim Lynch, director of the libertarian Cato Institute's project on criminal justice, told The Daily. Thanks to it, cops in Cobb County, Ga. ... read full post
La robotique est un champ de développement prioritaire pour la Corée du Sud qui vise une place de leader mondial aux côtés notamment du Japon. C’est pour cette raison que le gouvernement coréen a pensé à étendre son usage dans le secteur pénitencier...

This article reviews the Rock 'em Sock 'em style robot playsets and video games based on the real steel movie for Playstation PS3 and Xbox 360. Don't miss the hot soundtrack MP3 album from the movie with a great selection of top musicians and bands. http://youtu.be/rp6dxBcy0vc -- I agree with you, James, on the point of stop-motion and animatronic effects! Robots look more "robotic" with stop motion and animatronic effects! Good review! Those movies look like their worth a view! I've noticed an extremely alarming trend in the world of developed website sales involving the owners of worthless domain names using a little-known trick involving what's known as a "301 redirect" to create the impression their websites are worth more than they actually are (most sites whose owners resort to this are worth nothing). Basically, there is a way to forward a domain name to a real website and communicate to search engine robots that the change is permanent. This is known as a 301 redirect. Of course, it isn't really permanent, as the domain owner can undo the redirect whenever he or she wants. The problem arises with a little formula Google came up with called pagerank, which is supposed to be a measure of a web page's authority relative to all other web pages. Google used to publish a sampling of this that would appear in the now-defunct Google toolbar. For those who had the toolbar installed, every time that person visited a web page a little green bar would pop... read full post Liked by Alcanzarlo Nao, the miniature humanoid robot favorite, has added yet another capability to its growing list of awesomeness. It hasn’t gotten better at recognizing objects and faces. Its language comprehension skills haven’t been refined. Nor has it learned any new dance moves or card games. The latest addition to Nao’s bag of tricks is more about maintenance than marvel. Aldebaran, the makers of Nao, have created NEST – Nao Energy STation – that the robot uses to charge itself. No longer will members of the Nao Developer Program keep having to check to see if the robot’s still got juice. When its battery runs low, it simply walks over to its charging station, backs up to a post, plugs in just below its neck and takes a seat while it powers up. It uses its image tracking technology to orient itself to markings on a mat attached to the post. And because Nao is so smart, if the position of the markings is shifted somehow, say on an irregular surface, it adjusts and remembers for the n... read full post Liked by Miltiathis |
