No Wonder
interesting article on boingboing today from Xeni on a translator for US forces, sort of reminds me of all sorts of sci-fi stuff and I love the function – ‘there is no pork in this food’ – is it really necessary ?
however the crunch comes a little later in the article when the president of the company that makes the translator says -:
This removes pulling the trigger as the first option in dealing with foreign nationals
this is astounding, surely pulling the trigger should be way down the list of options when dealing with foreign nationals ?
I do not think i need to say any more!
