- Shuk, on 05/06/2008, -2/+48MAXIMUM STRENGTH!
MAXIMUM ARMOR!
MAXIMUM SPEED! - degron, on 05/06/2008, -0/+27Yeah the future will be here in a sec.
- diggB, on 05/06/2008, -0/+15I think you have the words "real" and fictional confused.
- jsd8cc, on 05/06/2008, -0/+13Damnit...I always just miss it.
- insanebrain, on 05/06/2008, -0/+11Because, they are like you. .. posting in the wrong thread.
- dropthehammer, on 05/06/2008, -8/+18buried for being a blatant attempt to both diggwhore and raise page views by making you view 5 different pages to read the article. Maybe if this site actually wrote relevant environmental content it wouldn't have to constantly post "Top 5 things relating to technology/history/pretty much anything except the environment" to stay alive. Just change your name to "crap we think you'll digg" already.
- Shadowgamers, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9I remember that Bear Proof suit.
IT HAS A WATCH! (or was it a mirror?)
ON YOUR CROTCH! - rogersj3, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9Don't read much do you?
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -3/+11that's insane.. just imagine the possibilities... the future is closer than we think :)
- socialpyramid, on 05/06/2008, -2/+9That landwalker is totally Robotech
- SirPopper, on 05/06/2008, -1/+7Dunno which site you have opened, but I have never seen so many posts from Environmental Graffiti where
"Top 5 things relating to technology/history/pretty much anything except the environment" were posted.
Also I do not understand why you think that this post is only for traffic generation.
People are working hard to write good posts, then people like you come and tell that it is crap.
That is not nice.
Links to other blogs or science posts shows the trustworthiness of the author for proving what he wrote!
There are so many sites with so many amazing stories on the web, I understand the Environmental Graffiti Blog as a small aggreggat, where I can get impressions and find interesting links to other sites on the web!
Human Aggreggating. - tbk123, on 05/06/2008, -3/+9Wow forget battlefields - this could be fun in the bedroom.
- Existenz87, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6The land walker doesn't really seem to walk per se. It seems to brake one wheel underneath one of its large feet and free up the other wheel and slide it forward. I think "landshuffler" is a more appropriate term. Still very cool though.
- dnields, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5And you're dugg down for being an ignorant douchebag
It's called a book, jackass
http://www.wegrokit.com/starship_troopers.htm - catbeller, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5The way to impress buyers, comic book style: as a demo, walk into a room of armed marines, and kick each and every one of their asses, absorbing every round they throw at you. "Your puny guns cannot penetrate my armored exo-suit!" would be an appropriate line in that situation. Or go into a gang meeting and do your Iron Man thing. America loves a successful lone inventor; it hates one that can't market himself well.
- Pilot85, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5or some pebbles.
- sungoddess808, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5I don't know about having to open five pages to read the article. I only found one. Sometimes writers have to get creative to capture the attention from the reader. If they get too technical, the average person may not completely understand and lose interest. Read a thesis and you'll see what I mean. =)
- snagra, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5Yea, it must be very hard for it to move over anything that isn't a smooth surface, like if there were large rocks or boulders in the way.
- snagra, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5Go spelunking.
- Nemoso, on 05/06/2008, -1/+6Buried for too many pages. Also, the landwalker is an exoskeleton the same way my car is: it's not.
- snagra, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5The guy who made the bear suit and the Trojan is now bankrupt and ended up having to raffle off the suit. No military offers ever came his way.
- Ademan, on 05/06/2008, -0/+5I'd have my brain put in a robot body... who wouldn't? Course, i'd get all the use I could out of my human body first...
- zadadka, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Something like Ripley's cargo-handling exoskeleton in Aliens is still the most likely commercial version... though, of course, we'll wait for the military to perfect it, and make it more cheaply available along the way.
- surKaz, on 05/06/2008, -1/+5Hmm.. All the author did was post videos of the suits already on the web.. Some content would have been nice..
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+5Man and machine, power extreme.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centurions - leerayIG88, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Soon, this will be like Unreal Tournament. Xan Kriegor will be created.
- SymbolicChaos, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4SirPopper: Obviously the man wants to become a super hero (or villain). Who doesn't, really?
SuperWinner: Asimov might contest that robots dream of having their brains torn out and stuck into fleshy human meat every now and then, and clearly, they are the superior existence. What would we do without our robot masters? All hail our bionic overlords. - jordansampson, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4The guy in the last video is now bankrupt. The ideas he came up with are just amazing (fire gel and angel light). I guess that goes to show you that no matter how brilliant you are people wont go near you if your bat ***** crazy.
- kakwakas, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4Now, why hasn't someone combined #4 and #5? That would be downright AWESOME.
- kingmanic, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4Ironic, that you would say that while using so many a military funded invention (Computers, internet, etc..). UAV's, Armed Robots, networked battle fields, and smart weapons which were sci-fi in the past but now used in battlefield. The exo suits will be useful in allowing soldiers to carry more amour, carry more food, heavier weapons and more ammo when they occur. This gives the ones who develop it a leg up. War does cause human misery but it can be useful and it often cannot be prevented. Why not give your soldiers an edge when it is not preventable (WWI) and shorten the duration if it was preventable but they did it any ways (IRAQ).
- astrobela, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3that's a quote from the movie you idiots that bury him
- PopcornDave, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3I don't even want to think about the chafe you'd be enjoying.
- Ouze, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3i clicked on the comments for this story solely to see if there would be a Iron Man/Crysis comment within the first 10 comments. In with Iron Man at 3, and at #10 exactly, you just made it, Shuk.
- dropthehammer, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4i'm not complaining about the author being creative or not "being trustworthy" by not linking to places. My problem with Environmental Graffiti is that it has changed from a decent environmental site that actually wrote about environmental issues and was even occasionally funny into something that is 75% posts that are written for the sole purpose of submitting to digg and getting traffic. There has been a HUGE increase in the number of "Top 5" articles on the site and very few of them have to do with the environment anymore. And now they've added pagination, where you have to open a new page to see #4, a new page for #3, etc. That, plus all the irrelevant diggbait articles, are why I bury posts like this from environmental graffiti. Maybe some day they;ll go back to actually writing well-written pieces on the environment. Then i will digg them and not bury them.
- astrobela, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Who is the ***** that hacked into my exoskeleton yesterday?? Samba dancing instead of saving that little kitten from the tree is not funny!!
- guitarbren, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3I logged in just to bury you.
- SirPopper, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3What will you do then with the Exoskeleton Suits, when you have bought it?
- jstone, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3The Sarcos XOS should have been at the top of the list. It is the most advanced powered exoskeleton out there. The Trojan is just a load-bearing structure; there's no strength augmentation involved. And the whole point of the XOS is to allow the soldier to carry more armor and weapons.
- Ninjao, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4QUICK SOLDIER WHATS THE TIME IN PARIS!? One second sir i'll just look at my ***** clock.
- RealmDown, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2or Bambam
- sparc5, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2They're gonna need to build larger baseball stadiums.
- Galume, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2And you want to give peace a chance by....disarming and not developing ways to protect soldiers? "Give peace a chance" is a nice (if not dated) slogan, but you've got to get EVERYBODY in the WORLD to agree to it for it to succeed- otherwise the moment you let your guard down the militant fanatics in the middle-east will be on you like ugly on a gorilla. Sorry to harsh your buzz dude, but there are bad people who don't agree with your outlook on life.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3MJOLNIR armor here i come
- maddvibe, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3My friend always swore he'd have spider legs someday. Where's the spider legs!?
- mparker7410, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Number 2 is actually the most impressive of all. The number 1suit, the so called "real life Halo suit", is basically one of those get-ups you'd see some dude wearing in a self defense class were women pound the crap out of him while screaming "No, no, NO!"
- SirPopper, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3Maybe the future is alright there and we do not see i!
- jmbarbera, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Old news!
Stephen Hawking Builds Robotic Exoskeleton in 1997.
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/39133 - SantafromNorth, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2DARPA needs to develop the AT-AT but make sure it is trip cable proof :)
- roflbrothel, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Catbellar = the guy in the last video, lol
