Whats wrong with human controled drones and bot's, after all that would remove human casualties on your side...until the other side develops something similar. Thinking about it two armys of human controlled or autonomous bots would essentially turn war into a video game.

This as well as being a huge pain in the butt has got me thinking about the failures in general and my question is this, how many of the slashdot community are still on the first xbox360 they bought. The whole RROD thing i can understand if not accept but after my my second drive failure (both at 13 months conviently enough) i have to wonder if ANY of them survive actually being used. A dvd drive is hardly cutting edge technology, in fact ive never had one fail either at work (10,000+ employees) or at home yet between myself and my friends we have never seen a 360 last longer than a year. Is this, as Microsoft say a slightly higher rate of failure than standard or is the 360 fundementally flawed. I would like to see numbers but thats hard to establish truthfully, which leads me to ask slashdot. I figure theres enuff users/gamers registered on here to get some idea of the true scale of the problems."

This will not work, as it is many peoples network services are handicapped by their ISP. Network relience with data limits will not work ever. Software is only getting bigger and going by most isp caps you will be paying twice, once for the games and again to be allowed to download them. In my opinion the isp's are holding EVERYTHING back and this is only going to get worse.

AT&T Says Spying Is Too Secret For Courts 312

The Wired blog 26B Stroke 6 reports on the arguments AT&T and the US government made to an appeals court hearing motions in the case the EFF brought against the phone giant for their presumed part in the government's program(s) to spy on Americans. In essence AT&T seems to have argued that the case against the telecom for allegedly helping the government spy on Americans is too secret for any court, despite the Administration's admission it did spy on Americans without warrants.
