You want Gojiras?

Cos that's how you get Gojiras.

Well that's a big nope from me.

Even if it was free.

What a dull name.

"I speak of none other than the computer that is to come after me," intoned Deep Thought, his voice regaining its accustomed declamatory tones. "A computer whose merest operational parameters I am not worthy to calculate - and yet I will design it for you. A computer which can calculate the Question to the Ultimate Answer, a computer of such infinite and subtle complexity that organic life itself shall form part of its operational matrix. And you yourselves shall take on new forms and go down into the computer to navigate its ten-million-year program! Yes! I shall design this computer for you. And I shall name it also unto you. And it shall be called ... The Earth."

This is from one particular employer:

"Everything you write is the property of the company, including that done in your own time, on your own equipment, at home"

"You may be required to work additional unpaid hours." Now this is pretty standard, but this guy really took the piss. He decided that the tech team would now, in addition to their normal 9-5.30 work hours, do tech support and testing on the weekends. Of course for no additional money.

In normal work hours, the boss would:

-Read all email, including that not addressed to him

-Open all post, including that not addressed to him

-Randomly monitor phone calls, and sometimes cut in.

-Had remote desktop viewer installed on all the PC's, so he could watch people work.

His attitude was always "If you don't like it, there's the door", and many *did* leave.

He was a bit like a toddler, always pushing to see what he could get away with.

An AI with an Uzi 9mm?

There was a documentary about that.

Re: The Grand Tour

Tonight, Jeremy overdrives the ion thruster for more powerrrrr, Richard gets local radio flashbacks from the higain antenna, and James executes a perfect slingshot manoeuvre but ends up on a collision course with Phobos.

Only 100km altitude?

She cannae take any more, captain.

IT meets Spacesuits , a documentary

A bit sweary, but painfully close to what the reality would be?

Android on IoT?

The fridge requires access to your internet connection, files, photos, contacts, call history, bank accounts, car keys, and underwear drawer. Continue?

This is heavy

But we know where it'll strike, that's how the clock stopped.

That's no moon

that's a paydirt station.

After pressure from eco-hippies, they were experimenting with hybrid F16's, and he was trying an air to air recharge?

PLUTO?

How about:

Largely Autonomous Scout and Search Intervention Equipment.

I think

I shall have to get the black out.

4 of those

and it *might* be able to run Crysis.

What ho, digby

Is there *anything* that plucky Brits in sheds can't do?

Old Macdonald had a neural processor farm, AI AI O

You ain't gonna do it with Von Neumann architecture.

Needs a rethink, a radical shift in paradigm/architecture, maybe with more emphasis on the connections rather than the processing elements themselves. All decoupled clocks.

Well that's my $0.02.
