For anything to understand and identify what constitutes a human life and what would threaten it requires a level of sophistication equivalent to that of a human. The three laws are a fairy tale and can't be encoded. To be able to discern the general shape of such a creature, Apes would fit the category as well. However there is more forms for intelligence besides human on this planet. Consider the various other members of the animal kingdom. Lack of verbal skills do not mean they are simply flesh machines. The likely early models for AI would be drawn from the modeling of animals and their behaviors.
I am going to point to a few books and leave it at that.
the Matrix/Animatrix cycle
Dune (look into the back story on why they didn't like thinking machines)
Blood, the last vampire (night of the beasts) by Mamoru Oshii (of Ghost in the Shell fame) and Ghost in the Shell as well.
I had a friend working at NASA in Mountain View in 1994, they were successfully able to remotely land commercial size aircraft then. However the problem isn't that it's not doable, its that no airline would buy into this for the above mentioned fact. We have the capability to put alcohol lockouts on every car in America, but they only do it for known drunks, and it is far easier still to just deny them licenses and severe penalties for using a vehicle.
Taking Remote control of a aircraft which may be experiencing difficulties not related to so called terrorist activities would likely make a manageable problem into a full scale disaster. All you can really do in a real terrorism event is to pull the plug on the engine, that crashes the plane, for certain.
Partially true, the Republican controlled Congress and Senate were fully bought and paid for participants in Shrub's misdeeds, the Democrat controlled Congress sees no point in kicking the lame duck out when he's gone in January. However they are happy to let Kucinich toss mud on the little worm. 50 years from now when Shrub's legacy is taught in school the impeachment will be in the record, and it won't be a silly one like the one they hit Clinton with.
ahhhh, you got the flash of that scene in Total Recall too? Not the one with the gun in the scanner but the crazy exploding head lady. Only it's not the lady's head that explodes but the viewer's eyes.
How much does TSA pay for hazardous duty? I doubt it's enough.
Sorry to slashdot and others, but I don't feel the slightest guilt in using that tool (ok slashdot is on my white list) but inspect my packets as deep as you like when adblock sees your ads now PHORM especially will get the boot.
I never thought I could despise a president more than I despised Clinton, but Bush has done it, sigh... Now Now, Hillary hasn't even been elected yet, give the girl a chance. 8 Years as Obama's VP has seasoned her well.
I thought that the Twitter product was a free roving troll for all weblogs and somebody had figured out a way to profit from it.
So I went to the site and found I was correct. Its a AI-based troll that talks up products. Sadly there is a glitch where it also talks about toilet related obsessions.
He's a singer who really uses nothing but an acoustic guitar and his folk roots to make his music. Very popular, although I find his music repetitive at best. He claimed to be the inspirations/author for the well known Beck Song "Loser" and also for the Henry Rollins song "Liar"
it's part of the stereotype. If your a fatso (me). You will be most likely to get the job. Wearing glasses helps. Evil Spock beard is better, best not to look like Pitr from User Friendly, go for Sid http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/sid/ but extra weight helps.
I disagree with you both, your both mired in the hope that this country's factory-worker brand of school system is the only road to success. In my Forties and a graduate of neither School or holder of a GED, I am making over 100k/yr. I have never been to prison and have no fear of screwing up. I am not living off family riches either. Useless later in life is those who only see what is before them. Lockstepped into roles and planned existences. It's a pallid dream I want nothing to do with.

I guess they didn't serve it to the prisoners till after they were released. After all eating Haggis is a Scottish test of bravery.
Can't think of any better way. Let them read some nonsense from Twitter or his sock puppets, read a few Apple rumors. Yeah you'll get the job done.

Effluent == raw sewage, which makes sense becase most politics is like a septic tank - the big chunks float to the top. Which is exactly what that is.

But was it terrorism or stupidity?

Many Doc-com people as doing one of these things.

They just need to hire Marv. That should work well. Just make sure he doesn't bleed everywhere.
Mine can be used as tiny boats when the floods come.
