Slappie

There is glow in the dark gay guys? ... damn.. go figure. They're always ontop of the most current fashion trends. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

/golfclap Oh and you can fuckoff with the hug. Go masturbate or something. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I replied within 30 seconds.. jeez "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Bout 30 seconds. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

!!!! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Right: nothing Left: nothing I hate to carry stuff in my front pockets. I once burnt myself pretty bad with gasoline (non-fire) in those areas and ever since I've detested to carry anything in my front pockets. This only goes when I'm in jeans though, slacks and chinos I'll carry my keys and some change, still not very much at all. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Holy shit Slappie. Call me when you're recovering from triple bypass surgery and I'll come read to you. Hey now I don't eat them very often. I'm watching my saturated fat intake and my cholesterol. I've got high triglycerides and taking some medicine (Tricor) to help lower them. You have to admit though that does sound scrumptious!! "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Pretty neat stuff. Next year they're going to use roads with other people on them. "Let the carnage begin" You say this is many years off. I'll agree.. but 2030 isn't that far off. With the way technology has compounded it's growth and expansion with ever increasing speed. We'll be there faster then some think. So Bill, when will we have hover-cars? Weren't they supposed to be a reality back in the 1980s? Granted we would have made many more strides in automotive advancement if it wasn't so damn easy for the car makers to make a gazillion % profit off the technology from the 30's. Why invest in new fuels and modes of transportation when the one we've got works fine. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Who is this Turtle you speak of and why do they need us wishing him well? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

OMG anyone who can put themselves in the kind of position you're in, in your avatar HAS to know the meaning of life. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I make the best breakfast sammich ever. Toasted wheat bread with Miracle Whip. 2 eggs fried 2 slices of bacon crispy 2 grilled ham slices 1 large tomato slice - lightly grilled to soften the insides 2 slices of pepper jack cheese Put it all together and eat. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I would have to say right now I'm addicted to BitTorrent. I'm able to find "backups" to albums I own and have been meaning to buy the CDs for. I'm also able to watch Tourgasm with Dane Cook since I don't have HBO. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

HAHAHAHA "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Think of all the starving addicts who would be out of summer jobs and jump money. No more packing for spare cash to jump. No more jumping camera for some new equipment. It would be one DZO and a couple robot techs keeping the DZ open and running. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

What if the "sex bot" becomes sentient and self-aware and decides it doesn't like having overweight sweaty men slobber all over it. It doesn't have rights like the humans, so would it be enslavement? Another thing that what concerns me -- no matter what kind of rules or safeguards they put into these things there is going to be abuse. Some sick bastard out there will find a way to reprogram the robot to commit crimes for him or her. Can you imagine Osama Bin Laden sending a robot terrorist over here? Even everyday criminals could do it - and how would you be able to tell between a legit "robot servent" going to the store and one armed with a gun about to rob the bank? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

It's downloading Dream Theater & Fear Factory's discography. While listening to some nice classical orchestra on NPR. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

I got Brains to install a 20 ton chill tower. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

!! Classic "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Good points Wendy. I'm curious about the moral questions that this issue birngs up. Like sex bots? Is it masturbation? Will they become sentient beings and be enslaved to brothels to serv as sex machines. Will it be rape? What is a robot has rights? What about the 6 billion people in the world and counting. We already have a shit load of people in this world starving and in need of care. Sure, many western style economies and politicians are whining about aging working populations, but expectations among some researchers is widespread that "at the very least" average age will increase by decades this century. Some claim this century science will crack the code of immortality and many reading this will get to live centuries. Governments are universally clueless. They could see our current shit with Peak Oil coming since the 1970s and they did nothing. Governments are doing nothing, period, ever. They won't take action, in any direction, when it comes to robotics, robot citizinship status, A.I., genetically modified children, nanofactories, plus a thousand other developments we are gonna see real soon. Governments will be playing catchup forever. Worse even: some governments will decide A and others B. For example: some robots will be granted citizinship status (for instance: in sweden) whereas in other nations they will be regarded as copyrighted property, to be disposed of without impunity. How can international law keep up with those expectations? Can you imagine underground railroads for robot refugees? Can you imagine people hacking robots to load sentience, selfawareness or sapience in their minds, making them creatures with "a soul"? Politicians will be in a world of hurt and confusion. They will be catering to lobby groups. They will be conducting endless studies. What else is new? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

there's actually four. somewhere in the Foundation series is the zero law of robotics. a robot may not allow harm to come to humankind. it actually creates a loophole for the first law. I wasn't bringing up the laws for a debate, it was only as a basis of revelation to what the actual news story is about. Thanks for bringing that up. Though it really needs to be in another thread. whats with all the smackdown lately slappie???? Read above... I really think I'm getting frustrated with the mass of newbie who have no realization as to the power and the information "Talkback" used to have. The debates and intelligent conversations & banter we used to have. Along with the "boobies & beer" "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Ya know I love this site.. but if it's not about fucking, sucking, boobies, beer or why is my heart broken you cannot have a semi intelligent conversation. I guess I waste bandwidth around here trying to stir up some free thinking debates. ... *stalks off frustrated with the lot of ya.. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

This aint no damn democracy! I can't actually remember the real quote HH made but it fits. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Or is it? In Isaac Asimov's Robot Series he wrote about robots that will live among us and be helpful and subservient. The unique feature of Asimov's robots are the Three Laws of Robotics, hardwired in the robots' positronic brains, which all robots in his fiction must obey, and which ensure that robots don't turn against their creators. When I stumbled across this news story this morning all I could think about was the Robot Series when I was reading it. Then they even mentioned it!! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2230715,00.html?feed=rss Very compelling questions have been raised in recent years by Science Fiction writers concerning robots and what the future may hold.. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

*hugs lurker.. miss you
