Yes, I saw that, and wondered:
#1: Was Arlen Specter a primary investor?
#2: How can a bullet be smart? (I am thinking of the remarks of the Dalai Lamai recently when he asked them to work on technology designed for his sensitivities:
"The Dalai Lama had some imaginative ideas for MIT scientists to work for peace.
"You could invent an injection for compassion," he said. "I would want that."
And maybe commerce could contribute: "You could have shops selling compassion. In a supermarket, you could buy compassion."
A student asked about ethics and the weapons industry. The Dalai Lama, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989 for his nonviolent campaign for Tibetan rights, said he hoped this would be the century for global demilitarization.
But a good start, he said, would be for institutions like MIT to invent a bullet "that misses ordinary people but hits the decision makers," waving his arm in the path of a wiggling bullet to laughter and applause. "That kind of bullet needs to be developed. Wonderful."
