In my experience you don't need to train a cat to be a mouser, it comes with the package, as for cats treating you as a master, i have never witnessed such behavior with any cat, be it a house cat, one on a farm, a stray or a feral.
Real intelligence is the ability to solve problems, and i've seen cats do some pretty nifty tricks to get what they want, so yes, they can be plenty smart, also, you *can* train a cat, but you have to train them their way, they do not respond well to the way we train dogs.
As to whom is smarter... i guess it depends on the individual animal
I still use & buy sony gear, and i'll probably continue to do so in the foreseeable future, however, the gear i do buy is not hindered by drm, rootkits or whatsoever (sofar they''ve not figured out how to stop camera's from working during concerts etc), and as long as those bits work as advertised, and well, i'll use & buy them.
Europe isn't a paradise, but at least these kinds of things are illegal over here, the biggest problem in Europe as it stands is the monstrous beast of bureaucratic bullshit it created, and the money it burns, it's like a black hole, you toss in millions & they vaporize without a trail.

Mine will go sit in front of me waiting for me to shine the light, yet still chases the light, probably because it's fun
I think she's pretty well aware she can't get the fish, she's just having fun
Hell, you'd even fetch their sticks

Hmmm... catgirls
Well, google maps once told me to kayak over the Pacific...
Actually, i'm pretty sure getting a world-wide license is being priced outside of their budget
Still US only....
Maybe i should get one of those
Big f'cking deal, the Amiga had a simular system called AREXX, created in 1987 and included into the OS in 1990, AppleScript came to be in 1993.
I would guess, the product in question is http://smartwater.com/
Given the right DNA sequence? Sure, i guess it could be smart!
Obviously you never met Finnish girls

True, but if it runs linux & is open, then i don't really care, i'll run my own stuff on it then ;)
Panasonic is a Japanese company, it's quite possible that there is a market for this thing in Japan that's potentially big enough to justify the risk.
Yea, but somehow i think Panasonic will be able to deliver more easily, the Pandora is a very nifty machine, too bad supply is so slow
I prefered Aweb

Just WTF is a FICA score and how is it legal to use this information while recruiting people?!
Pure capitalism == Fail
Pure socialism == Fail
There has to be a healthy workable middle ground
