Why limit yourself to a "kill box" when there are so many useful and charming patterns available: the "kill banana" ("Oops! Slipped!"), the "kill cross"(reserved for non-Christians) and my favorite, the "kill doily"(for the most vile of the unfaithful, cake-haters)?

I can almost see the UI for the "kill design" now: pre-defined patterns + GUI etch-a-sketch (for personalized kill pattern design), a kill pattern library, a website discussing design principles and associated blog, twitter feed ("Killing you softly NOW!"). It will be all the rage.

Please don't post such unsubstantive comments as this, especially on a sensitive topic.

Distasteful perhaps but I think their comment was almost certainty satirical, and referencing the ludicrous nature of a 'kill box' having existed as a doctrine, rather than simply being grossly insensitive for the sake of it.

>Why limit yourself to a "kill box" when there are so many useful and charming patterns available:

i think it is just obsolete limitation of the previously available computing and information processing infrastructure. The same way like the boxy shape of the F-117 vs. the next gen of stealth planes. Or election districts of the past vs. modern election districts.

Modern kill box would be a shape in high-dimensional space of parameters adaptively learned and constantly adjusted based on new information coming (through Kafka-esque input pipes) by a distributed neural network with sub-nodes in the brain of the Predators.
