May 12th, 1984..

"3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. The computer which controlled the machines, Skynet, sent two Terminators back through time. Their mission: to destroy the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, my son. The first Terminator was programmed to strike at me in the year 1984, before John was born. It failed. The second was set to strike at John himself when he was still a child. As before, the resistance was able to send a lone warrior, a protector for John. It was just a question of which one of them would reach him first.

No, I say make him cock his head and stare into space like Data did in TNG. At least then he LOOKS like he's thinking hard. ]]>Mar 20th 2008 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/Mar 20th 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/
...Obviously I'm no expert on the matter (I don't even remember if that's exactly what she said) but that whole "completely different culture" thing might better explain the results of that survey.]]>Mar 20th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/Mar 20th 2008 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/20/researchers-find-folks-prefer-robots-that-engage-in-small-talk/http://www.asterpix.com/console/?avi=8581711
