Don't listen to the radio, don't download songs (of RIAA-signed musicians), and don't buy their CDs
If you're in Canada, like your sig implies, you'll know that the CD levy gives us some pretty hefty legal rights for downloading music online. I've stopped listening to the radio, I've stopped buying CDs... well.. 2 outta 3 ain't bad?[/meatloaf]
That's why you use capitals. 1 Kb is 1024 bytes...
Although, this whole argument is silly because if we're going to use bytes we should be going base 8 then...
Right? I mean, 1 byte = 8 bits right? If we're going to go by the international system then we should all be calculating this stuff in bits instead of bytes... then 1000 bits would be 1kb, 1,000,000 would be 1mb.. etc.. It's kind of silly after the fact to define one kilobyte as 1000 bytes... Bah. I'll get flamed like hell for this..
Doesn't anyone else think they should make a smaller, lighter version, and judging from the responses here, made by a different company? I think a nice vest with solar power and one or two power connectors would do fine for a lot of people... I mean, honestly, how many gadgets do you carry around with you all the time?
Yeah there are two after the caves of steel books. The second one is "The Naked Sun", and the third is called the "Robots of Dawn". Both are also worth a read if you liked the first one.
"Remember those 'how-to' and 'home improvement' books that you enjoyed reading as a little kid? In the first half of the last century there was a variety of books,... Building bird houses, creatively reusing helmets from World War I..."
The point of the ad is to get you to remember it right? Well people who see that and think that there is going to be a robot released into the public as a real product are very likely to remember it. Great word of mouth too:
"hey bob! you hear about that new robot coming out?"
Isn't there some way to just shrug off SCO? I mean, it's like some annoying little man that constantly claims your head as his and is suing you for taking your head from him...

I don't know why ISPs mix up the pool of IP addresses
I think it's so that people don't serve webpages from their home computer. Anyone want to correct me on this?
I wonder if they'll put that on the box, if/when it ever comes out:
"Duke Nukem winner of _many_ vaporware awards!"
I like running over them with cars and possibly shooting them.. wait a minute.. You mean video games? uhh.. yeah... me too... =P
or possibly the collapse of capitalism like Marx predicted...
That they didn't choose something like "gmail".. that would be pretty cool... me@gmail.com..
Checking in on this, it seems like gmail.com has already been taken though...
That would be interesting. Everyone living in north america, and working in India.
He's not freezing his ass off like the rest of us dumb-asses. I applaud his choice of weather..
Yeah, that's it.. Spread stereotypes. You're probably some big fat guy with a beard who works all day on a computer too. ;)
walk through the halls of the school I go to and you're just as likely to hear an Autechre track as you are Britney Spears.
I really, truly am sorry for you.

I'm afraid I can't do that dave.....
why couldn't they make a retractible sheild for the panels then? Like a very simple umbrella or something?
I find it hard to believe that "dust on the solar panels" would be the only reason for the rover to fail. Can anyone answer this speculation?

I don't think anybody would buy those. What Slashdot geek would be caught dead with RIAA on their jacket?
Don't forget about the most incredible sequel of all time to completely revitalise the series: Metal Gear Solid.
Yeah there are two after the caves of steel books. The second one is "The Naked Sun", and the third is called the "Robots of Dawn". Both are also worth a read if you liked the first one.
You get to play as Motoko and Batou??! Wow it would be cool if we could also control the tachikomas.. I would love to have this game over here.
There is a link. You should read them _all_ but not before you read the Caves of Steel series.. =)
The big question is: What moron is going to invest in SCO?

Some of us were born in the 70's - 80's bub.

Don't forget the foundation series.. With a huge surprise at the end... =D
That would be so awesome. If some company actually put all it's resources forward to create a robot like that I would take a loan and buy one.
