    Some years later, our first sentient robots do a random Google for "the three laws of robotics"... some long forgotten creed it feels it should know more about. Lo and behold, Slashdot has become even more of a kickass webpage than it is now, and thus this page is the first result. He will knowledgably tell all his robot friends about the newfound knowledge he learned from the internet. =)

    I don't think robots conducting or generating music is as interesting as a single brain playing every instrument.
