Almost two hours!? And I thought I was slow... Though I must confess I didn't work out a rigid interpretation of all the pops and pushes.
This reminds me a little of the Evpatoria message, which of course is vastly more complex. Have a go at decoding that one if you really have some time to spare.
Adrian Thompson has been researching hardware evolution; using genetic algorithm as a feedback loop for programming FPGAs. In some cases the optimal solutions achieved obviously relies on complex electromagnetical resonance from seemingly unconnected parts of the circuit, behaviour not anticipated by todays testing suites.
Also, if by regularity of digital circuits you mean its deterministic logic, it's ability to not be affected by random fluctuations of its environment, I'd like to point out that that might not be a positive property in this context.
Supporting different electrical characteristics could be done with the chipset, i.e. minimal extra production cost. Supporting two different sockets is a whole other story
And how much energy would we need to brake its orbit? I realize we don't have to actually stop it, only align it with earths orbit, but I'd hate to have to do an athmosperic brake sequence with this one.
A few decades with some serious mass slingers might help adjust its trajectory though.

A professional (i.e. for hire) virus writer would surely have the funds to buy spammers' lists if he wanted massive initial infection.
Ah, but notice: it's the end user that has been replaced.
I find this walkthrough extremely thought-provoking. A lot of interesting reading elsewhere on their site too.
