Operation: Annihilate!

More substantive post to come later in the day, but check out what those zany Canucks are doing with computers and checkers.

Yes, I had a friend named HAL a few years back that made a similar assertion. Now just combine Chinook with a taser-wielding robo-cop, and you will get a perfect enforcement machine that KNOWS the correct decision, 100% of the time, is to Kill All Humans.
