Forgive the allcaps, but I was caught up in the moment:

It ain't easy, picking out evil-doers in the urban canyons of the Middle East; there are so many places to hide. Taking 'em out can be even harder, what with all those noncombatants hanging nearby. But the Air Force thinks it might have an answer to this most vexing problem in counter-insurgency: frisbees.

Not just any frisbees, mind you. Robotic frisbees. Heavily armed robotic frisbees.

Kinda reminded me of the hover drones from Dark Angel. They even called them drones.

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.

Actually, these ones remind me of the Dark Angel Police-drones: http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001472.html

(I was waiting for Chrisisall to show up with the DA reference. Congratulations, you beat him. )

And, in other news, I want one of these: http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001432.html. He's got a freakin' baby gattling-gun!!!

And then of course, somebody will have the idea to link these things to a computer system called Skynet........

Flight Instructor: Son, know what the first rule of flying is?

I beat him? Really? Do I win something?
You're right though, the ones you linked really make me think of DA

As to that other thing....yeah. My first reactions was "Awwwwww! Isn't it cyuute!"
It looks like a childs toy. And who named that thing? ROBART?!?? Does this stand for something or are they intentionally trying to make it funny?

And I too worry about Skynet. Ant the Matrix! One day, the machines will rule us all!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
