Also can it snort mucas from one nostril, tell the newspapers about its gambling problem, be photographed with hookers? How's its gang rape programming?
These questions must be answered before we can evaluate whether this is truly a robotic footballer.
"That brings the unique capability of the Internet to connect people with shared interests, together with the ability to perform some kind of action in the face-to-face world."
Like the German cannibal who met and ate a willing victim he found on the net?
What's the electronic equivalent of being followed around the supermarket by a security guard because you look scruffy I wonder? An avatar calling you a script kiddie and asking you to leave?
If it wasn't for cheap and noisy PC's which can't be left on because the racket they emit is disturbing to their owners, this could become an epidemic.
As networks become ever more complex, they become increasingly like ecosystems.
The best defense against viruses is a healthy immune system, and an organism gains a healthy immune system through exposure to germs and viruses.
The current "epidemic" of viruses serves only to strengthen the immune systems various groups are developing to regulate the wider ecosystem - the net.
There will always be change, and one of the drivers of change is chaos.
"Even if Hypertouch succeeds in its case, the message to spammers and the companies that hire them might not be loud enough to make a difference. The ISP is asking for $100 in damages -- the maximum allowed by the Can-Spam Act -- for each of the approximately 100 messages that it claims were sent by BlueStream Media."
Sounds like there could be money in setting up as an ISP, and sueing any spammers who use you for $100 per message. Given the millions of messages an individual spammer can send, even one victory against them would result in a cash windfall for the ISP concerned.
Better off doing a porno, and always play the part of the man with the handlebar moustache. The TV Repairman who visits the horny housewife in order to "fix all your problems with my big tool.".
I'm warming up my grunting muscles in anticipation.
" $10 to make eight replacement cartridges for my Mach Three Turbo."
It's 5 UKP for three here, about $10. Consider yourself lucky you get such a good deal!
As for us Brits, we all walk with a limp due to the regular shaftings we get - Tony Blair pimps us to Big Business and uses the fees to fund his party's election campaigns.
"Is it a fraud? You decide. Devote an hour each day -- about 12% of your working time -- surfing one of the many CareerBuilder or Monster.com sites, or DirectEmployers.com, or CareerJournal.com. Scan the job postings. Read the advice. Update your resume daily. Your challenge is to justify your investment."
And to justify the loss of your salary when your boss catches you.

Rumour has it his descendant, Darlus McBridus, is doing well...

No problems for me or my brown-skinned and turbanned brothers then?

An interesting question. I don't have an answer, but I do think that it's a matter of when rather than if.

Crikey!
Get out more, learn to spell "elite" properly, and pay damages to the RIAA.
What do you mean "talk in person"? That would imply entering the real world.
In Blair's UK, the scripts kid you

Not at all, listen to the recordings of its most famous speaker Elvish Preshley, to see this is not true.
No, it means they'll carry on trundling at a few feet a day before they eventually stumble upon the bones of Elvis.

The "Motorhead-style" gothic font for San Andreas does suggest that maybe this game will be set in the 70's. Hells Angels plotline maybe?
All your wages are belong to us
This classic work is surely a Blow job...

Can you nominate heads? What about Bill Gates, George Bush, the CEO of SCO, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Eminem?
Yes, it's in tune with their grasping and avaricious business ethics.
