It looks like something from Appleseed or Ghost in the Shell. Very cool indeed.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Perry, that link is in Japanese. Those of us in the Anglosphere should try this one:

I wonder how this technology compares to the Honda ASIMO?

Do Robot magazines do comparos like Car and Driver? 🙂
What!? You don’t read Japanese?
Corrected.
How do I know it won’t eat my AIBO puppy?
Keep it well fed and watered. Always keep a full bowl of light machine oil and a bowl of Purina Dragonbot Chow for it.
Is it a “dragonbot” or a “dragonoid”? 🙂
In any event, it happened again: despite the main board saying 4 comments, hitting the “comments” link excluded Dale’s. But the “Permalink” link included all four.
Kevin: it works fine for me!
