Christianity Etc › Re: This Dream Makes Me Afraid Wat Could Be The Meaning by tpiah: 4:15am On Jun 18, 2009
I think the guy is just lonely and wishing for a partner.



If someone tells me he saw me in a dream I go run be that oh. Likewise if I see someone in a dream I simply take it as a sign I'm missing the person, nothing more.

robolobster and robopike?

pretty impressive.

But how do you prevent them being eaten by predators in the wild?

I'm surprised the Japanese didnt beat the Americans to it though. Thought they were the leaders in robotic technology.
Politics › Re: Obama Swats Fly by tpiah: 3:53am On Jun 18, 2009
hmmm. I dont think thats the PC way to kill a fly. You're supposed to use a fly swatter or bug spray unless you're in Africa of course cheesy

Now, one should also wonder what a fly was doing in an air conditioned room, why the news reels saw the incident as front page news, and how far along is that fly robot called Robofly. grin




Robofly was hatched in early 1998, when the Office of Naval Research sought ideas for tiny robots. Fearing, who has been fascinated by robots since he was a teenager, jumped at the chance.

He got together with some colleagues who let their imaginations run wild. Really wild. One idea was for a tiny, walking robot not much larger than an ant. ("Basically a silicon chip with legs," Fearing said.) Another idea was for a hopping robot modeled after an octopus. And then there was robofly.

The Navy loved robofly. It also loved robolobster, now being built at Northeastern University, and robopike, which swims in a tank at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

No agency admits to having deployed insect-size spy drones. But a number of U.S. government and private entities acknowledge they are trying. Some federally funded teams are even growing live insects with computer chips in them, with the goal of mounting spyware on their bodies and controlling their flight muscles remotely.

The robobugs could follow suspects, guide missiles to targets or navigate the crannies of collapsed buildings to find survivors.


The technical challenges of creating robotic insects are daunting, and most experts doubt that fully working models exist yet.

"If you find something, let me know," said Gary Anderson of the Defense Department's Rapid Reaction Technology Office.

But the CIA secretly developed a simple dragonfly snooper as long ago as the 1970s. And given recent advances, even skeptics say there is always a chance that some agency has quietly managed to make something operational.

"America can be pretty sneaky," said Tom Ehrhard, a retired Air Force colonel and expert in unmanned aerial vehicles who is now at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a nonprofit Washington-based research institute.

Why is it so hard to believe this is for research?

or does everything oyinbo get you guys hyper?

naija man working in mcdonalds is espionage o.
dont flatter yourself.

Naija man working in macdonalds is to pay bills and send money home to the village.

So research cancels out espionage, right? They're mutually exclusive, in your opinion?

anyway, if your feelings are really hurt that much, lets assume the information gathered will be used to check the feasibility of a MacDonalds or some other country's fast food joint in Nigeria.





seeklove:
I could very well be. Being an agent for CIA is not a crime; it is a job of honnor, and a job of patriotism.

I do not doubt that the guy is on research. But what I am saying is that it very possible for CIA to have an agent who is a street hawker. But like somebody said, they will not use a white man for such a job in Nigeria where one can easily spot him. There are so many Nigerian Americans who can blend in the Nigerian street without anybody suspecting. I believe CIA would rather use a Nigerian American agent or at least a black agent for such a mission.
true, they've been using black Nigerians to spy on themselves long before now. That one na normal thing.

However, people say if you see a frog running in the daytime, you know something is chasing it or else its chasing something.

Two Dutchmen working as gas station attendants. Chinese all over the place. A white American selling gala in Lagos traffic.


Now, if the American guy was selling hot amala with okro stew and crayfish, I could say he's definitely not a spy, because only a stupid spy would show himself like that. But the gala wey im dey sell- na Nigerian food? No be British abi Scottish?

Nigeria has an official language called English.

Most younger people wey no sabi english dey still speak broken.

If not speaking Yoruba didnt prevent them from colonising you before then why would it suddenly be a problem now.

[quote author=T@meD0 link=topic=284857.msg4045935#msg4045935 date=1245272984]man, lwkmd for the different dimensions this story don take.

very soon now we go hear say na osama this bobo dey work for.

did some of you paranoias think for a second that the CIA will never send a Caucasian to come and spy in an all black country? come on now, that one no even require common sense (wey in most cases, no too common sef).

if the the CIA wants to send a spy or spies to naija, the obvious thing to do is use agents that are proficient in at least one naija language.

abeg, make una re n'le with all of una conspiracy theory o jare. . .like someone suggested, this could be a marketing strategy to penetrate the naija beef industry.

by the way, the spies wey some of una dey holla fit dey enter the same taxi or danfo with una everyday and you won't know it.
[/quote]did the CIA tell you they dont already have plenty of Nigerians working for them? huh

If they feel your views are too biased, then who better to send than someone who isnt one of you.

no, I meant should the woman keep her multiple husbands all in one house or would it be more convenient for her to have them living separately. With only one official husband.

spies are typically unnoticeable and shun media attention. This guy is openly taking pictures for the camera.

or maybe just a good ole sociology research?
Once again, in Nigeria and Africa, spies dont have to be unnoticeable.

When people raise an alarm, then they can go underground, but right now they dont have to.

I'm not saying the man is a spy but I wouldnt rule it out just because you like oyibos.

No they dont.

Assuming they even need to, because in Nigeria for example, Nigerians will tell any enquirer everything they want to know.

In Libya, who told you the US wasnt keeping tabs on Ghadafi? In any case, they'll tailor their presence to whatever goes in the country being observed.

And who said they cant do both hidden and open surveillance?
