most cheap keyboards are pretty safe in the dishwasher too, it's not a bad thing to try out if you spill liquid in them. just make sure you let it dry for a day or two aferwards.

ian - the open data movement is starting to take off, and a friend of mine was recently bemoaning the fact that there are no places to *easily* publish open data sets. it strikes me that statpedia could be a great place for this, with a bit of work in the right direction. maybe you should talk to some open data people?

Thanks Dr. Honked,

Do you have any suggestions on who I should speak with or where to start?

why do they want 1.5 mil for a "hollywood paint job" when they've already given it a paint job to make it look old and busted

even if it happens that robot fight is going to be lame as gently caress, especially since people have a very specific idea of what "giant robot fight" entails

just strap a couple ar15s to asimo robots if you want something only vaguely lame

no possibility of injury, no visceral connection on impact, fighters' faces completely obscured behind visor helmets. combatants probably have reduced range of motion and reduced visibility/situational awareness. way to completely destroy all the reasons one-on-one armed combat would be compelling to watch

wait, people already spar with weapons. it's called sparring. it's in the goddamn video itself! how does a full suit of armor become necessary once someone uses a different weapon from the other guy? :confused:

wheels would only evolve if roads occurred in the natural environment

i know the wheel part was actually a seed pod gently caress off pedants
