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!

James

A FAVORITE quote: Last lines of the first Star Trek the Next Generation movie.
Capt.  Picard: "What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived,
after all Number One, we're only mortal."
Will Ryker: "Speak for yourself captain, I intend to live forever!"
