Seriously, someone needs to sit these guys down in front of a TV and show them the Terminator movies.

The sheer fact that they called this system Skynet was enough for me but now it's going to be controlling AI robot killing machines... riiiiiiiiiight.

I'll be on the first flight to Mars :D

They actually predate the films, and I often wondered how much Cameron knew about them, if anything (he's a space buff amongst other things). I also wondered if we'd have a case for suing him over the name or whatever :)

Are they looking for a Miles Dyson to head the research? ;)
