"I know I wouldn't mind having a dozen or so cheap Cappuccino-type knockoffs... building in quantity would probably make them a lot cheaper than the $300+ for an industrial SBC. In-dash MP3 player, anyone?"
The argument that robots will take humanity over is a little silly. I think one of the first things I would do would be to make the robots weakened and or disableable(is this a word).
"You assume most computer geeks don't care about financial matters, just because you don't. That's just because you're still in school and living with mommy."
I just think that most of the interest in such things is usually either from business majors or people with a great deal of cash.
Curiously I would like to know how one actually goes about building a robot of any decent calibur? How is this accomplished in any reasonable way? I had trouble building a proper electromagnet in elementary school.
Is it just me or is the only thing that really is important here is that Enron was hiding illegal activities (ie. tax evasion, etc) from people? Isn't that less than honest?

"tv became a "hot" TLD because of the television tie-in, hence the desire to have a.tv domain. This just means that Verisign paid for the right to handle DNS for the domain so they can charge to register.tv subdomains, so do the math."
and hence my original post wondering if they had created a new set of domains. But I guess the Tuvaluians are quite pleased I would assume.

".int is interesting, as it is designed for multi- and inter-national organizations. The best known.int subdomain is tpc.int. which is used to map domain names to phones (typically, with fax machines)."
I have heard of these projects before and I really don't see how they help me in the least in any way. *I* don't go to MIT and I really don't think I should want to (I like to get a balanced education and not just all technical). What about AI and all that being promised to do all manner of things. I havn't really even seen a decent say simple chat bot that even used a simplistic neural network.

Why is this revolutionary? And why does Apple seem to put such great stock in it? Aren't things like this mostly old hat with a nifty interface?
Some points to actually owning one?

"Not true Kinko's won't let you copy more than a few pages out of any book for instance. In fact they have all sorts of strange copyright rules. "
I normally do all my own copying. Most people don't bother me.
"Too bad, as they seem to have lost their adventuresome spirit over the past few years."
Maybe I didn't notice this the half dozen times I have been there for some reason or another.

what is an SBC?
Is it common to allow companies to use your credit card?
1. Why is this person(s) still working without a paycheck?
2. How does this person survive? Programming is a demanding job and dosn't work well with 2 jobs+.

I just don't care about most things financial.
The easiest way to get to sleep for me is to hear one of those interesting (and I use the term loosely) reports.
And could someone please tell me why it's important for a computer geek (who most likely) dosn't really care about financial matters?
"..then the answer here is "Yes - but only after my robot's finished with it" ;-)"
how could anyone have the ability to do anything like that? any concrete examples or explanations?

How many different types of these domains are there to date. I really cannot keep up with it all.
"$8.75 per? Hour? Day? Year? "
that would obviously be hour
pardon me but I have had a hard day.

Yeah it's their fault that they can't see when born of get sick.

A little thing called being nice and a little set of laws called the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

That was most likely a widespread thing in what? The 13th century.

You sound like the commendant of Belzec really quite sad.
Really considering how absoltely corrupt and half assed their preparations appear to be.
