Ouch
Stanford wins something.
DARPA is my favorite government agency, by the way.
[DARPA Director Anthony Tether] brushed aside a reporter's question about whether the robotic vehicles tested Saturday might be the first step toward the creation of military killer robots such as those popularized in the Terminator movies.
"We took that first step back in the 1880s, when the first (mechanical) computers were put together," Tether said.
Zing! What kind of dumbass reporter asks a question like that? He should've responded "Do you think that reporters might be the first step towards a new age of McCarthyism?" or something, but I guess his response was pretty good anyway.
