Lets see.
A real dog will shed all over your furniture to improve its insulation every 2 to 3 months and poop on your carpet to make the prints look better. A robot dog obviously cannot.
A real dog will like your face after you've had a big burger so you'll avoid the embarassment of having food on your face. A robot can only dream of complex tasks like that.
A real dog will bark all night before your semester exam. You never liked that damn subject anyway. Can you beat that?
In a related announcement, God(Tm) announced that he would sue Sony under the DMCA for reverse engineering the BBCE(Bark Bark Crap Eat) protocol.

Wandered from the path... and truth...
Hmm, and why should they have stayed on it?
It was their choice and they made it.
If you want to bitch, fine, but I'd rather see their achievements.
I'm sure you've strayed from the aforementioned path as well.

Um, moderators do not control slashdot. Moderators are volunteers, and as such, they do not own slashdot. IANAL.

Do you have any solid reasoning for this statement? It is quite probable that two satellites will collide. I believe when orbits are calculated, there are some errors allowed for in the orbit in case of servo rocket failures et al. If the US of A is providing false information, it is quite probable that these errors may cause some satellite (commercial or otherwise) to crash into a Spy sat just because they were lead to believe the Spy sat wouldn't be there.

Nope. I think its from a person who doesn't understand almost anything. Taco, please use your own ID when you post intelligent (by your standards) comments.

If he were in India, and were unlucky enough to be arrested, he would probably be held for a period ranging from 2 weeks to 3 years (depending on the state he lived in) without trial/bail. This isn't because there are laws permitting this or anything such. It's just that the judicial system here cannot cope with the massive volumes of civil and criminal cases. Besides, the police are very corrupt.
Just posting this because although he's being screwed, you guys have it quite good.
There are thousands of undertrials languishing in jails in India without a bail hearing. My country is pathetic when it comes to justics.

Doesn't the situation remind anyone of Atlas Shrugged? The corporations behind the DMCA are Orren Boyle, and we, dear friends, are John Galt, d'Anconia. Dimitri is Hank Rearden....

"Can't the backbones do some routing thing and reroute traffic to the targetted address to/dev/null (Or better yet, someplace in China?)"
Well, yes. They can (I hope I'm right), but then the data packets DO NOT CEASE TO EXIST. They still move around, and EAT BANDWIDTH. Besides, getting enough backbones to do this is logistically painful.

Then they would be replacing a puppet with another puppet. Atleast this puppet has dopey ears and a 'deer in headlights' look one so enjoys.
