Roomba Robot Vacuum Gets Siblings

Victor Tramp writes "Apparently, the cute little robot vacuum by iRobot has siblings now! An article over at Forbes.com goes into some detail about the new Roomba models; featuring the Roomba Pro, which 'is an improvement on the original Roomba, including an intelligent navigation system..', and the Roomba Pro Elite, which is the '...new flagship model. It comes with a remote-control unit that lets you navigate the Roomba around the room, changing cleaning options as it goes.' I have one of the original Roombas, and it actually does a really good job!"

    Hi All. I just looked down and noticed that my penis is missing.
    I have checked the room temperature and confirmed that it is still within standard penis operating range.
    Has anybody got any suggestions? What do you do when your penis goes missing? Should I check the power points?

    after the massturds of georgewellian fuddite corepirate nazi deception finish with the mindphuking of the locals?

    fuddles'.con is running linux now. no DOWt about that.

    fauxking phonIE payper liesense stock markup FraUD execrable that they are. talk about unlimited suckage?

    that's right, after the walking dead finish exterminating themselves, & sadly enough, some of us, it won't take long to clean up this cesspool of greed/fear execrable.

    we're calling it the planet/population rescue program (formerly unknown as the oil for babies initiatve).

    the Godless wons are helping by continuing to show where their hearts lie.

    what's wrong with folks selling their kode? if it causes convenience, & interoperates with all the other kode on the planet, we say, no harm, no foul, so long as you fail to employ gangsterious/felonious practices to asphyxiate the 'competition'. sabotaging your free version of anything is a tad dastardly. if there's value added, without FUDging up the compatability, we'll pay. same with music. no more gouging dough though.

    fortunately, mr stallman et AL, etcetera, is now offering comparable/superior software, to the payper liesense spy/bug wear feechurned models, in almost every circumstance. there'll be few, if any more softwar billyonerrors, as if there's a need for even won. tell 'em robbIE. you are won of the last wons whois soul DOWt, right? .asp for va lairIE's whoreabull pateNTdead PostBlock(tm) devise?, used against the truth/to protect robbIE's payper liesense stock markup bosses/corepirate nazi 'sponsors'. yuk.

    back on task.

    what might happen to US if unprecedented evile/the felonious georgewellian southern baptist freemason fuddite rain of error, fails to be intervened on?

    you already know that too. stop pretending. it doesn't help/makes things worse.

    they could burn up the the main processor. that would be the rapidly heating planet/population, in case you're still pretending not to notice.

    of course, having to badtoll va lairIE's whoreabully infactdead, pateNTdead PostBlock(tm) devise, robbIE's ego, the walking dead, etc..., doesn't slow us down a bit.

    that's right. those foulcurrs best get ready to see the light. the WANing daze of the phonIE greed/fear/ego based, thieving/murdering payper liesense hostage taking stock markup FraUD georgewellian fuddite execrable are #ed. talk about a wormIE cesspool of deception? eradicating yOUR domestic corepirate nazi terrorist/gangsters will be the new national pastime.

    communications will improve, using whatever power sources are available.

    you gnu/software folks are to be commended. we'd be nearly doomed by now (instead, we're opening yet another isp service) without y'all. the check's in the mail again.

    meanwhile... for those yet to see the light.

    don't come crying to us when there's only won channel/os left.

    nothing has changed since the last phonIE ?pr? ?firm? generated 'news' brIEf. lots of good folks/innocents are being killed/mutilated daily by the walking dead. if anything the situations are continuing to deteriorate. you already know that.

    the posterboys for grand larcenIE/deception would include any & all of the walking dead who peddle phonIE stock markup payper to millions of hardworking conservative folks, & then, after stealing/spending/disappearing the real dough, pretend that nothing ever happened. sound familiar robbIE? these fauxking corepirate nazi larcens, want us to pretend along with them, whilst they continue to squander yOUR "investmeNTs", on their soul DOWt craving for excess/ego gratification. yuk

    no matter their ceaseless efforts to block the truth from you, the tasks (planet/population rescue) will be completed.

    the lights are coming up now.

    you can pretend all you want. our advise is to be as far away from the walking dead contingent as possible, when the big flash occurs. you wouldn't want to get any of that evile on you

    off topic? suckage IS the topic here?

    we're way on, describing the suckage of va lairIE's whoreabull pateNTdead PostBlock(tm) devise. we're near base on describing robbIE's ?pr? whoredoggIE buyassed 'scoring systern'. as for the felonious fuddites, they suck almost everything, leaving only burned/damaged/decaying molecules for the rest of humankind to clean up/make reparations for.

    you should get your topics (& any/all of your other phonIE stock markup FraUD/false advertising/shillerIE 'affairs') in order. the lights are coming up now. there's no turning back, & no where to hide.

    Try the SysRq key. According to the current poll, it has magic capabilities. If you press:

    Alt-SysRq

    Your penis should be magically restored. Not sure what it will do to your kernel, though.

    And Bababooey to y'all.
