Well, I have an ME degree with a minor in EE, but you’re probably right, because I couldn’t care less.
From an engineering perspective, I find this very impressive:

IF that's true, the drivel you've been spouting is even less excusable than I had thought.

Yes, AlphaDog is seriously cool. I'd like to point out that "AlphaDog is actually the offspring of BigDog, an earlier, noisier, version with limited payload and operating range." Good thing nobody dismissed BigDog as something that should drawn up on a chalkboard, and then erased, saving a lot of time and money. I'd further like to point out that "AlphaDog ... was developed with funding from DARPA and the US Marine Corps" and "The company worked with engineers and scientists from Boston Dynamics, Bell Helicopter, AAI Corporation, Carnegie Mellon, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Woodward HRT".
Hmmmm .... I suspect that government funding was involved in some way.
