Well, I read all the comments and found most of them interesting. However, when I see people writing things about Jews and Nazis as was done here, I wonder if these are their true ideas and thoughts or if they are only trying to generate a heated response.

Norway?! Beautiful country, been there several times. Parlimentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy, and the King rules until he dies. And this king thing, hows that working out for you?
Lets see if I remember my history correctly. Yes France did supply powder and ammunition to america (unless my memory is going too, I think we paid almost $1 million dollars for a shipload)and yes, France did “accomodate” american frigates on the high seas. As I recall France did send about 6000 soldiers to fight with us, but they didn’t win a war and give us back our country. I concede also that their Navy was busy destroying British shipping, still, not the same as losing your country and having some one else give it back.
Now, back to the original topic.
Could the power cell from this machine be adapted to power say an electrical generator? A Car? Etc… I’m sure that there is more to it, but it sounds like you just drop in some Bio-Mass and the thing powers this robot. How much power does it produce? Besides the “EATR”, what other applications has the company developed for the use of the power cell?

To the poster “historian”:
You wrote: “Was it not the French who helped you against Britain? Some might even say there would not be a U.S if not for French soldiers, weapons and money.“
You couldn’t possibly be more right about that. Just look at South Africa and Australia, who never received any (French or other) military aid against perfidious Albion: Today, in the 21st Century, they’re still “subjects to the Queen” instead of Democracies, like the British themselves, no kidding!
(I never said that the U.S.A. were an exemplary Democracy, though…)
P.S.: Still, there is “something” seriously wrong with Wikipedia’s “Quality-of-Life Index”: Countries like Austria (nr. 20 on that list) and Germany (nr. 26 on that list) DO NOT have a worse quality of life than for example a banana republic like “Portugal” (nr. 19) .
And why on Earth is Canada (nr.14) one place BEHIND the U.S.A. (nr. 13, of course) as well, instead of 50 places ahead of the U.S.A.?! Etc.
Here is the link again:

The link to the list itself:

P.S.: Isn’t “Sven” a Scandinavian name, “Nr. 3″ ?

You wrote: “So, instead of using the Bio-Mass I collect every week to fuel my home or Car, I should do what?“
Excuse me?? But didn’t you write in the post before that: “Are you upset that we (U.S. Americans) HAVE learned to Reduce, reuse and recycle better than you have?“
(P.S.: As a Jew, NEVER say “we”. That’s pretentious, as well as physically impossible)

You wrote (among all your other subjective or false claims) : “Are you upset that we have a MUCH better standard of living than you — Europeans — do? Or is it that you are just upset that WE, ‘the evil americans’ have a MUCH better standard of living than you do?“
AAAAARRGGHHHH what a spectacular train derailment!
“Mercer’s 2009 Quality of Living survey highlights — Global
Last updated: 28 April 2009
European cities dominate the top of the ranking
Vienna scores highest for overall quality of living, Baghdad the lowest
Singapore ranks top for city infrastructure; London ranks eighth
The quality of living rankings are based on a point-scoring index, which sees Vienna score 108.6, and Baghdad 14.4. Cities are ranked against New York as the base city with an index score of 100.“
I repeat: “Cities are ranked against New York as the BASE CITY with an index score of 100.“

U.S. American, you gotta wish to live in a normal country (with a normal Politics and a normal every day life) first before having the right to live in a “rich” country. But even Pakistani and Kongobongo immigrants become more European after two generations than you U.S. Americans do… Or do you really think that Paris and Venice were still like Venice and Paris if only U.S. Americans lived in it?

I was about to mince down every other single claim and word in your answer in exactly the same way, just to kill time (a boring excercise, I know), when I saw phrases like “Or MAYBE we should just convert to the MUSLIM religon”, with “Muslims” even written in capital letters… That’s when I saw how utterly you lost reason. You cannot possibly win against me.
Normally only the wrongest of all races, the Jews, “argue” like you.

P.S.:
You wrote: “Bio Fuel that can be picked up off the ground has potential. If the bags that I put grass clippings in could power my car or my home, I would say that it has potential. If the leaves I rake up every year can fuel my lawnmower, THAT has potential.“
And in relation to the “E.A.T.R.“‘s fuel source, Nature itself:
I couldn’t help but to APPRECIATE the irony that a Jew like you has no better use for biomass than to burn it…
Hey, I like you! On second thought, maybe we should build that “E.A.T.R.” some day!

To freefallingbomb, I'm not saying that the US is perfect, although I believe we are a damn sight closer than most others. You wrote, 1) I know the list, most of it at least. But you forgot something. Most of these countries (and the others too) already moved past the Dark Ages. To that I say, your right, that WAS the middle ages. My arguement still stands, the US is NOT the only country that "could - and DO - invent such a sick, SACRILEGIOUS shit.". I was hoping you would realize that EVERY COUNTRY has made devices that were mistakes at best and terrible at worst. You stated "2) All those old torture / execution / military devices which you listed cannot threaten planet Earth, only individual Humans. Since you poor U.S. American haven't the faintest clue "what" I meant with "planet Earth" : We Euros call it "Nature". European scientists believe we need it to live." Again, I concede that you are correct, we DO need the planet earth to survive. In your original statement you also said "Plus: Aren't the planets (natural and artificial) green and arable areas overburdened enough to be additionally consumed by senseless, self-sustaining, U.S. American "Life-digesting machines"? (Shouldn't we first set free a few of these robots in the U.S.A.'s best preserved landscapes themselves?)". Since I am curious, just what is the population density for your country? France 279 per square mile Spain 229 per square mile Germany 237 per square Km Etc... In America it is 85 per square mile. You APPEAR to be speaking out in defense of the planet, how about this. You get your own countries problems fixed BEFORE you try to tell us how to fix ours. WHY can't you "Europeans" get YOUR problems fixed instead of complaining about everything we do? Are you just upset that we HAVE done a better job of taking care of the environment than you have? Are you upset that we HAVE learned to Reduce, reuse and recycle better than you have? Are you upset that we have a MUCH better standard of living than you do? Or is it that you are just upset that WE, "the evil americans" have a MUCH better standard of living than you do? AND BEFORE you ask, YES, I have been to Europe, Asia and the Middle East. You state, "3) Your "peaceful herbivores" have digestive bacteria that break down long chains of hydro-carb molecules (that compose straw, fibres and other cellulose) into short = highly energetic ("explosive") molecules (like glucose, whose energy is stored in our A.T.P.). But the Military know how to turn these bacteria virulent, totally out-of-control = literally omnivorous, enabling them to break down meat and all other LIVE tissue too. Sooo, will the "E.A.T.R."'s engine stoically refuse the occasional mouthful of protein in the desert just to keep roving on or will it include a back-up of anthrax-like strains, to go 100 % "multi-fuel" (= to harvest Humans, in High U.S. American think / speak) ?" As I said earlier "While the idea of a "Self Sustaining" drone vehicle of this nature DOES raise concerns, the TECHNOLOGY involved in its creation is interesting. Bio Fuel that can be picked up off the ground has potential. If the bags that I put grass clippings in could power my car or my home, I would say that it has potential. If the leaves I rake up every year can fuel my lawnmower, THAT has potential." That should make a planet protector happy, this is another example of potential technology used to reduce the harm to the planet. I AM NOT ADVOCATING THE DRONE VEHICLE, I am merely pointing out the POTENTIAL benefits of the devices power supply. And Finally, you had this to say"4) I said it before: On the long run, the biggest, most existential threat to the U.S.A. isn't some Oriental country or the "Axis of Evil" of this season, it's the way you U.S. Americans yourselves drift mentally, psychologically hopelessly apart from normal Humans. I can see it coming, you don't. Three prime examples: Electing & even RE-electing W ...??! Too scared to pronounce the obvious Truth about 11 / 9 ? Speculating with an unprovoked nuclear first strike against Russia???? Etc. . Don't laugh, weep" Hmmm So you hate GEORGE W. BUSH, too bad some of us liked the mans policies. Just how is he relevant to your comments about US inventions and the environment? or is this just another European attack on our Government? And the OBVIOUS truth about 9/11? PLEASE elighten me. Oh, let me guess, we should bend over backward to APPEASE the militant muslims, like Europe? Perhaps we should pay them to leave us alone, like Europe. Or MAYBE we should just convert to the MUSLIM religon, like ...The Europeans. PLEASE tell me that you people aren't that foolish? PLEASE tell me we WON'T have to save your countries AGAIN! Speculation about Nuclear war with Russia, YEP WE DID that and we still do it. Thanks to Europeans and Asians we are now speculating about Nuclear war with Iran, Pakistan, India, North Korea..... Etcetera. AND yes, BEFORE you get all indignant and say "America built and used the Nuke first" you are right, WE did. If if comes down to it, I PRAY TO GOD (not Allah) THAT WE WILL AGAIN if it is required! And yes, the prospect scares the hell out of me. I do weep, I weep for the short sighted people in Europe who REFUSE to learn from their past and continue to make the same mistakes that caused the last 2 world wars. America isn't a perfect country, we make mistakes, the difference between our countries is that we tend NOT to make the same mistake twice.

Some of the mouthiest anti-Americans that post here are French. That just blows my mind. You should all bow down to America/ England three times a day and thank us that you don’t speak German…

And I’m sure these little buggers won’t eat corpses, or living humans, or turn on their masters either… Everything the government gets involved with gets screwed up, so why would this be any different?!??
And, if you robotic geniuses go forward with autonomous decision making robots, whats to stop them from deciding that all humans are the enemy and attacking us too?
And don’t tell me there will be safeguards and security. I’ve worked in IT for 26 years and I KNOW very well that errors are in ANY complex system and technology that accesses anything else can be hacked!
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should!
Think about it…
