Well, not if you consider a monarchy a dictatorship. Only is the last 200 years or so have those really started to fail. Many countries lasted for millenia under a 'dictator' king.
Also, why non-violent over-throw? I say, lets just kill everyone at ICANN and be done with it.
What software are they open sourcing? The artical on greplaw is shorter then the slashdot blurb. I'm assuming they're opening the flash plug in. Anything else?
I was thinking actual links, not just stuff off the top of your head. Anyway, you still need:
a mouse, keyboard, and speakers. And where can you get a case with a power supply for $25 new?
most applications of cyber these days come from 'cyberspace', IE the connected space written about in William Gibson's 'sprawl' series of books. "Cyberspace" Had the typical connotations of 'cyber' in that there was a direct man-machine interface involved, as in the word 'cybernetic'. Cyberspace was quickly used as a metaphor to describe the nascent internet, and has evolved overtime time to mean that. So we get a lot more words like "cybercafé" that really have nothing to do with neural implants.
Cyborg is a noun which means a half man half machine (well, not necessarily 50/50 of course)
combinatorial is not a technical grammatical term, so I don't exactly know what you mean by it.
You've noted: " The "Cyber" prefix..."
I used Cyber as a suffix... Please to be less stupid you sticky fingered little git.
cyberspace, cybernetic, cyberpunk, cybersex, cybercafé. As you can see 'cyber' is a prefix. There are no common words that use it as a suffix. (And neither did you, actually, you stuck it in the middle of a word)
The fact that you used it as a non-prefix doesn't mean anything. We've already established that you're an idiot.
if anthrop- references the human attribute and the intent is to coin a term embracing both the human attributes and those of a robot bla bla bla bla bla
Yes, and I didn't criticize the 'anthro' part. did I? I criticized the 'cybogic' part. The whole of your post is defending your use of 'anthro' and pun on anthropomorphic, and a bit about calling me stupid for calling a prefix a prefix because you used it in the middle of the word and thought it was a suffix.
If you're so sure, why not give us a component rundown with prices so we can see for ourselves. I seriously doubt you could pull that off especialy from a regular consumer store like frys. don't forget the cost of the Case+PS, of the flopy drive, the keyboard, etc.
These days, big companies really have an edge in terms of how much they pay for parts, especially for the things you don't think of, like power supplies, cases, mice, kbs, modem/Ethernet cards, etc. When building a computer people tend to think 'CPU, mobo, ram, hd' and not look at the price of the other components.
You'll save money if you just want to swap out the mobo, cpu and hard drive of your current PC, but if your looking for a whole new machine you'll save money going with the big guys.
The "Cyber" prefix indicates a man-machine hybrid, not a robot. I think the word you are looking for is probably"anthrorobotic", which might not sound as 'leet', but it also won't make you sound like a raving idiot if you say it.
This is pretty amazing, at least on the surface. But I wonder how true it really is. I mean, the robot escaping from its holding cell I can imagine, but getting all the way out to the parking lot? It's hard for me to believe that it really did it on it's own. I mean, how would it even have a concept of outside (I'm assuming they're using a neural net type of AI, rather then the hard-coded stuff, otherwise they shouldn't have been surprised by the behavior)
On the other hand, how difficult is it to believe the robot was programmed to 'seek' the outside by someone in the group working on it? Maybe it figured out how to get out of its cell on it's own, or maybe that info was coded in as well. But I for one, am going to hold of believing this until I get more details. Like, who are these people and how was this thing coded? The ease of faking this kid of a thing is just too high.
Slashdot Mirror
That's a pretty upbeat artical to have been posted on sept 11th...
The evil bastard who runs an open gateway?
If you're ever in Ames, IA. check that place out, they rent anime and have a huge selection.
One is a forced tax which you have to pay to live and not goto jail, while the other is more of a service charge then a tax(but still a tax!).
The british were taxing things like tea, paper, granular sugar, etc. While all of those things are important, they are not needed to live.

(I'm just kidding, of course)
He's al-quadea, not talliban.
Alegedly, anyway.
Thanks for the reminder, slashdot!

Hemos didn't make the joke. The person who submitted the artical did.
We are talking about just a few dozon baloons. It dosn't matter where they end up.
It's funny because windows is slow!
Would have solved a lot of problems. Not to mention maybe convince those religious nutbags that they were wrong.
Well, the ones that wern't dead anyway.

If you *don't* surf at -1, I mean. Fucking timeout crap made me rewrite my post, the second time incorrectly.
Fucking slashdot and their autocrap.
And if you surf at -1, you'll never have to see him again.
Heh, Another Explorations detractor. That guy is an idiot :P

Remember, Asimov's laws were put in place because people in his world were deathly afraid of robots.
These days, no one is scared of 'robots' except for wackjob 'futurists' like Bill Joy. So no laws are needed.
Is it like a disease or something? ahumora or something?
IIS remote code exploits every day, and in all this time all we ever see for apache is a potential Deinal of Service.
