The 1st law says that a robot cannot harm a human, or through inaction allow a human to come to harm. At least two stories I can think of off the top of my head (not by name though, sorry) deal with this second bit. If a robot were to watch a human getting gunned down, its systems would destablize and it might even become completely unusable (though sometimes just moderately damaged- limping a bit, unable to form words correctly) Important note: Even if the robot could in no way do anything to prevent harm from coming to the human.
Frankly, I dont know where the hell you got the idea that a robot won't run to save you if you start to slip off a cliff.
Choose your words wisely, you may unintentionally unleash the wrath of nerds! ~:!P
also worthy of note, this in itself is not part of the maliciousness of spy/adware, it is just part of the uninstall proccess for something which uses IE. (that is, the submitter is full of crap)
it's amazing how many things run faster by simply doubling the voltage. Blenders, Toasters, Fans, even light bulbs burn brighter! Now, manufacturers CLAIM their devices were not intended to be used in this manner and that faster devices use different hardware, but just plug it up and see for yourself that they are obviously profit-mongering scumbags!! I see it running faster, what other unseen differences could possibly exist? Why would they even design their products similarly or base one version off another if they werent actually the exact same thing underneath?!
since we're off-topic anyway, I think it should be pointed out that a dictionary is not currently, nor was it ever intended to be a reference for which words do not exist. And just to let you know, my OED says the plural of virus is virus. It does not, however, make any mention of the word's most familiar medical meaning, so I suspect a more recent edition would have a different entry. Virii is the plural of virus because it has no other meaning and people use it to mean the plural of virus.
not far from my house there's a road on which I can annoy people by driving at exactly the speed limit by coasting, for two miles. Everyone else goes mad. (driving your car without using the gas? are you INSANE?!)
oh, you're a breathairian, then? I'd seriously like to see any human get 1,700 miles under their own power and consuming less than a gallon of food and drink.
Oh boy, "use of frames isn't a good way to build a secure and trustable site", big news there. Guess what: everyone already knew about this "hole". It is one of the primary reasons for advising people against the use of frames.

You know, some "it's not a bug, it's a feature" things really are features. I dont see how this is worse than while(true) { window.open(document.location); }
dont worry, bill gates doesnt actually use billg@microsoft.com OR bill.g@microsoft.com. They are both equally incorrect. His real address (no, not askbill@microsoft.com either) is kept secret from the outside world, and probably only accepts mail coming from MS's internal network.

where the fuck did that come from?
Asimov's books always seemed pro-robot, while this movie seems anti-robot...
desire to inflate stock price can do wonders for that kind of curiosity :)

What about blindness which occurs later in life, but is a result of radioactive chemicals?
.. how exactly does one justify "backing up" disposable media?

Why not stop requiring your clients use IE to get support? That help?

do the math you twit. Perpetual motion is still impossible because toast doesnt care what side it lands on when it's already got fur all over it.

depends on which direction you're going ;)
Have you seen the size of the eggs he eats for breakfast?!

Being a pompous twit, I choose you!

You don't?
somebody mod that up. It'll be fun :)
You again! Don't you ever stop? :)

how many people fill out bill.g@microsoft.com (or something similar)
the answer is "yes", move along.
