Well...not quite. After six and a half years with SAIC, I jumped ship and accepted a position with Lockheed Martin. SAIC was generous with IRAD funds but I was spending more and more time on management functions. I am really not ready to leave the technical work to the â??youngerâ? people yet!

Seriously though, keeping up with the state of the art in machine intelligence is impossible, even more so if you must dilute your day with managerial nonsense.

Lockheed Martin offered me tremendous autonomy and substantial IRAD funding with no managerial duties. That may or may not erode with time depending on the results I generate, but right now it is great.

Does FMS mean "Foreign Military Sales?"

I did some work with Telcordia while I was at SAIC. They were using COMTEST to generate scenarios for autonomous agent traffic.

Nasty, brutish bunch of people. CYA in all caps.

Just kidding.

Sort of.

Yup.

Well I should say may my-soon-to-be-former company since sometime b/n September and December I'm getting my work outsourced.

I'm on the RBOC's side of things. So you can badmouth any other parts of Telcordia.

Yes, Foreign Military Sales. I could not be happier to leave...

I have had absolutely great experiences with SAIC as a company, but some employees have been a pain (happens everywhere...). I wish I could say the same for LM, my experiences have led me to believe that the company is complete incompetent and a mess (at least in the area of work that I do, I'm sure other areas are fine)

Anyway, I will be going back to school full-time soon and doing something that I really enjoy instead of something I really hate

Back to "Dollar Day Sales" business.

I plan to have all the rest of the items sold by Friday next week (12 Aug 05). I will be putting out a bunch of classified ads starting next week. Eveything I have a buyer for I will ship all at once on Satuday, 13 Aug 05.

If I have no buyers for something (say the lowering kit or brand new 2000 SVT upper intake manifold or Aussie bar with reinforced subframe ), I will donate such item to the local goodwill and take the deduction.

I do want to let the roughly $2,700 in stuff I've already shipped reach it's new owners before placing more ads.


PLEASE do not PM me with your offer until you see an ad posted.

I know Honda created a robot. Do they own a bunch of the machine intelligent patents? Is it another Japanese company that may have a hand in car making?

Has anyone gotten close with the patents?

I just went back, you were looking for US patents, DOH!
