X-Message-Number: 19671 Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2002 01:54:01 -0700 From: James Swayze <> Subject: Pooping robots An amusing article. Their title not mine is as follows. "Quark Soup Farting Robots and Shitting Ducks The first of a new, biweekly column on science from the author of The Pearly Gates of Cyberspace and Pythagoras Trousers: God, Physics and the Gender Wars by Margaret Wertheim" http://www.laweekly.com/ink/02/36/quark-wertheim.php some excerpts-- "Such a robot would have no purpose whatever except to keep itself "alive" by stealing power, and to freak out Bill Joy." and-- "If he has his way, it'll be sooner rather than later, which will no doubt piss off Bill Joy no end." Enjoy!
