Well, one could also interpret it differently: Their language changed so that they used as word for "poison" the same that the others used for "food". It's just a mis-communication.
Everything will balance out when they all learn to lie and distrust... but do we REALLY want this with robots?
We definitively want them to learn to distrust. After all, we are already building mistrust into our non-intelligent computer systems (passwords, access control, firewalls, AV software, spamfilters,...). Any system without proper mistrust will just fail in the real world.
Well, if the robots are to learn from watching other robots dying, they'll have to have a way to map the behaviour/fate of other robots to their own. Which means, they'd have the first basic ingredient for compassion. In other words, they would start to become social robots in the true sense.
Oops, seems that "Check for more" doesn't work if there are not yet any posts on the page... I klicked it directly before hitting "submit" and no posts appeared.
Still nobody posting? Not even welcoming our lying robotic overlords, telling that in Soviet Russia robots lie to YOU, or building a business plan on lying robots?
Also note that those prosthetic legs are designed specifically for running (if there was an Olympic standing-still competition, he'd be a sure loser with those prosthetic legs), while the natural human leg is "multifunction" (a leg which didn't allow simply standing still would surely have been an evolutionary dead-end).
No, PCs have DVD writers. DVD recorders are the analog to VCRs, but using writable DVD media instead of tapes. Of course, if your PC has both a DVD writer and a TV tuner card, you'll be able to make a DVD recorder from it.
Americans do something differently than Europeans? Cue the European slashdotters who will find some way to paint this as a moral and intellectual failing on the part of Americans. Sure. You Americans are obviously immoral because you don't pay your share for the recorded content by buying blank media with some money going to the media cartels.
I personally prefer problems to be solved instead of improved. But obviously the Burton Group actually likes problems, but doesn't consider the problems of.DOC as good enough, so they are glad that OOXML contains them in an improved form.
If you have a horse carriage business, and I invent the car and sell it, then your horse carriages will soon get worthless. Am I a thief for making your horse carriages worthless?
Now you will tell me that inventing the car wasn't something illegal, but copying the CD and distributing copies is. True. But that still doesn't mean it's theft. Deception is illegal and will also lose you money if you fall for it, but it isn't theft either.
Name things after what they are. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement, not theft. This is not a statement about the legality, morality or whatever of it (as I said, deception isn't theft either, but that surely doesn't make it legal or morally acceptable). This is just a statement about using the correct term, instead of abusing a wrong term.
Does anyone else have a problem with the word "smashing" to describe the contact of two bits of not-quite-vacuum passing through each other?
You mean, like a stone smashing into a window? You don't actually think the electrons or atomic nuclei of the stone actually come into contact with the electrons or atomic nuclei of the window, do you?

If they learn love, they surely soon will learn jealousy as well. Better don't get another robot, then! :-)
That was AI through evolution. It only means we should intelligently design our AI.

No, he completely understands what the Olympics is. He might not understand what the Olympics is intended to be.

Shouldn't he be able to compete in the Paralympics?

Don't you have VPS in the U.S.?
Well, maybe that's the real difference why DVD recorders are more popular in Europe

Well, if too many companies adopt OOXML, the other must adapt.

Well, the sig asks about why a certain correlation exists. Your answer would be a reasonable explanation if no correlation existed.

Or still have tapes they didn't yet find the time to copy to DVD.
When did DVD sales start? And when did VHS tape sells end?
Yes, provided neither the mass/energy densities nor the speeds involved are too large.
Of course, we will not really know how accurate that prediction is until in about 20 to 40 million years.

Their intelligence can be seen by the fact that they didn't get in contact with us.
Quite some time ago I heard about a virus which came with an AV program. I don't remember the details, though.
