Stating that the robot would not have "killed" him if it had the three laws is a bunch of garbage.
The robot, and I use that term loosly here, would of had to have sensors, either visual, thermal, or both, to tell that he was working inside it. Now this isn't a case of the three laws, it is more a case of if the sensors were there, and they sensed a heat source in the range of a human body temp. then it shuts down (not taking into account if just running temp. would effect it).
All in all, if he forgot to turn something off than it looks like it was his fault, and not some mythical three laws being left out.
The one dollar credit is a way to cover all the packages. The low package (24.99) would be more than a dollar, and the high end one (54.00) would be less than a dollar. The package I have (29.99/month is basic 60 + locals) works out to about 3 a month I should get. I am not in an area that has CBS cut out.
Dish has said that they will not raise rates till 2005. Now I am not saying that I know all the details, and I highly doubt that anyone on the boards does know all the details, but from what I have seen, from both sides, is that Viacom wants more money, and wants to stick in more channels. Dish/E* won't do it. According to Dish/E* it would make them raise rates to get the channels.
While there really isn't any of the channels that are blacked out to me that I watch, I am with Dish on this one. I do think that the credit should be more proportional to what you have gotten, but atleast it is a good effort to give something.
What type of buisness do you specifically want to open?
If you want to do repair you will most likely have to start out on-site. If you want to start a store, look for atleast $30,000 to get a store and minimal frontage for the store. Not to mention the licenses for taxes and the buisness.
Design of any sort will require licenses for software, and that thousand bucks will barely cover the fee.
Get an idea of what you want to actually do, where you want to do it, how you want to do it, then lay out a plan. The general idea you have is lofty, but un-realistic with a thousand buck investment.

The way I see it is this.
