To find out what would happen if a robot handling a sharp tool accidentally struck a person, German researchers set out to perform a series of stabbing, puncturing, and cutting experiments. The tools the researchers tested included a scalpel, akitchen knife, scissors, a steak knife and a screwdriver. The researchers performed two types of experiments: stabbing and cutting, testing the different tools striking at various speeds, with and without the collision-detection system active.

Hardiman was the first attempt to build a practical powered exoskeleton by GE in 1965. The machine was intended to allow the wearer to lift loads of 1500 pounds (680kg) with ease as well as to defeat the alien queen
The project was not successful. Any attempt to use the full exoskeleton resulted in a violent uncontrolled motion, and as a result the exoskeleton was never turned on with a person inside. Further research concentrated on one arm. Although it could lift its specified load of 750 pounds (340kg), it weighed three quarters of a ton, just over twice the liftable load. Without getting all the components to work together the practical uses for the Hardiman project were limited, and in 1968 aliens overran a GE laboratory in the Rochester, New York, with massive loss of life. The resulting firebombing and coverup left the Hardiman project in permanent hiatus.

So here’s Triplicate Girl. Fucking Triplicate Girl. This is your fault Dale-Duh, thanks for coming out of retirement. Seriously.
“There’s three of me. Hot clone stamp action!”
“Now I’m the Duo Damsel. Brainiac totes killed the shit out of one of my exo-bodies. There are only two of me. I’m so lonely.”
And then, inevitably, another body fell in battle leaving us with…
UNA!
“I have no exceptional powers or abilities whatsoever. I am now just another asshole in a purple American Apparel bodysuit and gold boots. I suck.”
The details are unimportant, but this is roughly how it all went down:
Yeah, that’s Computo. He’s got wheels, bitches.

Little known fact: In the intitial shoots of “Predator”, the Predator was a giant bug, portayed by none other than mega-agile martial arts god Jean-Claude Van Damme. He quit after 2 days, unhappy playing an anonymous special effect and not wanting to be overshadowed and defeated by the Arnold. He was replaced by the 7’2” mime Kevin Peter Hall, who also played Harry in “Harry and the Hendersons.”

“Community Memory was the first public computerized bulletin board system.
While initially conceived as an information and resource sharing network linking a variety of counter-cultural economic, educational, and social organizations with each other and the public, Community Memory was soon generalized to be an information flea market. Once the system became available, the users demonstrated that it was a general communications medium that could be used for art, literature, journalism, commerce, and social chatter.”
Sounds boring to us.
Some nerds using a Community Memory terminal at a record store, probably in California or some shit.
An example of the slowly arriving, useless, and incomprehensible information that they are pretending to be amped about in the photo above.
