Interestingly, some back of the envelope calculations (using rough numbers... 300000km/s for c, 75km/s/mpc for Hubble's Constant, and 3.25 ly/pc) gives a value of roughly 13 billion light years for the recession velocity to approach c. 13 billion years is also *ROUGHLY* the age of the visible universe.
If the person is disabled enough to require the use of this robot, the caregiver should be on-site. They shouldn't NEED to use Skype to talk to the disabled person.
Peter Norton should sue Symantec for defamation of character.
The original Norton Utilities were lean, mean must-haves. Anything called "Norton" nowadays is a steaming pile of shit that you run away from as fast as you can.
We used to strive for greatness. We used to "go to the Moon, and do the other things; not because they are easy, but because they are hard."
I'm a child of Apollo. I was 6 when Apollo 7 launched. I'm sure there will be a moon base, or a Mars mission. But not in my lifetime. This saddens me to no end.
BB's were used for fire support in Nam. I used to work with a guy who told me that when a call for fire went out to a BB, they'd ask on which side of the street it was wanted.

I thought it was "Carl"?
Really? I'm surprised. I'd figure they'd use 1553 or CANbus.
It's not the BSD compiler rootkit. It's the original AT&T "cc" command.

Duh! Bacon!!

I don't know. It corresponds roughly with the age of the universe, and also with the limit at which the recession velocity approaches c.
I'm just a dilletante. You'd have to ask an astrophysicist what the significance of that value is, if any.
That frequency is 1/13billion years.
No, a *parsec* is 3.26 light years. A Megaparsec is 3.26 MILLION light years.
Oops... that' 75km/s/Mpc, not mpc.

He wasn't in love with her body until she had all the plastic surgery done...
Yeah, sure. That's what *EVERYONE* says... "I only read Slashdot for the articles..."
Offtopic? I quoted TFS for goodness sakes!!!!
Whoosh. Please see Apple v. Samsung
"... how many UI ideas don't have more than one inventor?"
Anything "invented" by Apple. Duh! Just ask their legal team!
Is your name not Bruce? That's going to cause a bit of confusion. Mind if we call you Bruce to keep it simple?
If someone can't do the stuff that this robot does, they're unlikely to be able to do other things unaided, such as using a toilet, etc...
Speaking from experience (my wife is disabled).
If the person is disabled enough to require the use of this robot, the caregiver should be on-site. They shouldn't NEED to use Skype to talk to the disabled person.

"Logic of Empire" gives some small hints as to his rise.
Mod AC up.

Ask Apple.
What do the Mantas have to say about this?
In a good way....
Or the Saturn V just above it.
