Of course you glanced at this before writing the sentence above:

Looks like a pretty high batting average to me.

Of Course, Brians are way too simple to be controlled by the likes of Darpa.

P.S. Kids, remember to proofread your posts ]]>Mar 15th 2006 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/15/darpa-solicits-bids-for-insect-cyborgs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/15/darpa-solicits-bids-for-insect-cyborgs/
DARPA has a pretty good engineering record, last time I checked. You even cover their gadgets on occasion, i.e. autonomous motor vehicles, etc., etc., etc....and as noted above, we're all using DARPA's neat-o "Arpanet" project to read the ads on your site that fund your paycheck. Plenty of less-visionary-and-inventive-than-DARPA folks called that one "fiction", "wacky" and "ludicrous," too.

I think you meant "Of course" instead of "Of Course" and DARPA instead of Darpa. Also, you might have meant to add a period at the end, thus making your closing line a complete sentence.

"That's DARPA for you- always spending our tax dollars with thoughtfulness and efficiency."

It's worth noting that DARPA, unlike Al Gore, actually did invent the internet. I'd say that one worked out, wouldn't you?

You are not accurate.The internet was originally based on work done by Louis Pouzin in France, taken up by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in the US in the 1970's. The web however was invented and developed entirely by Tim Berners-Lee and a small team at CERN during 1989-1994. The story of the Internet and the Web can be read in "How the Web was born"

One particular elementary piece of grammer is yet to be corrected. Unless DARPA is attempting to control insects named Brian, I believe you meant to say: "Of Course,*Brains* are way too simple to be controlled by the likes of Darpa."

"Grammar." :)

Thank you to the poster of the "Insect Cyborg" article. Manipulation of animals (and people) for the purpose of warmaking is heinous. ]]>Mar 20th 2006 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/15/darpa-solicits-bids-for-insect-cyborgs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/15/darpa-solicits-bids-for-insect-cyborgs/Apr 3rd 2006 4:57AM
