"A University of Florida scientist has created a living "brain" of cultured rat cells that now controls an F-22 fighter jet flight simulator.

Scientists say the research could lead to tiny, brain-controlled prosthetic devices and unmanned airplanes flown by living computers.

And if scientists can decipher the ground rules of how such neural networks function, the research also may result in novel computing systems that could tackle dangerous search-and-rescue jobs and perform bomb damage assessment without endangering humans."

That's only part of the article of course

So... ummm... when does Cyberdyne get involved?

I, for one, welcome our new rat-brain computer overlords.

Especially if they control the fighter jets ...

I think CRS, Cyber Research Systems...a defense contractor for the government, is in control of that project now.

This is more like that bad Stealth movie.

Worse than a Gay Bomb??

Machines with organic brains? That's more like the Gobots, and nobody is afraid of the freaking Gobots.

Yup.

Naa Hornet terror has a face made of metal, and evil boiled in flesh.

Well, if I get to be a Cyberman I'm totally sold.


Cybermen will remove Fear. Cybermen will remove Sex and Class and Colour and Creed.
You will become identical.
You will become like us.

We had that, it was called The British Empire, the colonies were reject stock so we let them go...

We didn't have shiny armour and Lasers.
That is why we failed.


That, and the French.

If the Cybermen are an allegory for the British Empire, what does that make the Daeleks?

The reaction we would have had to the world had the French not been a major thorn in our sides for the last thousand years.




Dalek.
<.<

lets see, a race bent on universal conquest and domination, utterly without pity, compassion or remorse
(as all of their emotions were removed except hate)



Basically Nazi-mutant starfish that drive around in giant salt and pepper shakers ^^
