There was a sci fi author, Victor Milan, who wrote about AI and AC (artificial consciousness). AI is easy, program something to be aware of the surroundings. Roomba has a small style AI. AC would be much more difficult. Self-learning, self-aware programs and robots. Robots that actually ask (in the immortal words of Vger): Why am I here, is there nothing more? Milan's idea was to program it with a bushido code (title of the book was Cybernetic Samurai) So while not using the three laws, it still had a "moral" code to follow.
My point is, in the book, the computer essentially breaks it's own code and self destructs. Once you program a hard set of rules, and then let the unit become aware of said rules, and it knows there are limitations it will eventually find ways to break those rules (ask any teenager).
230 against the designers would definitely be needed, especially in a self-aware machine, as it will have the ability to go far beyond what the original designers planned, or even hoped to control.
When They (the bots) finally get to that level, then they will have to be responsible for their own actions.
"Firstly, Asimov was a science fiction author. Not to be taken too seriously. Philosophers of Artificial Intelligence like John McCarthy and Aaron Sloman think the three laws to be a joke (and inhumane if a robot with free will was ever invented)."
First off, science fiction authors write about things they wish to happen, 'philosophers' of AI write about things they wish to happen...Looks to me, neither should be taken seriously, or maybe both should be taken seriously? But, first off, tell me one thing, technology wise, that has been invented in say the last hundred years, that wasn't originally dreamed up by some Science Fiction Writer? On top of that, show me something these 'philosophers' have done that is in use and not some college project waiting for the next darpa handout?
Funny, I was always told, as an employee, my actions represent the company, and therefore anything I do negatively also reflects poorly on the company. So yes, it does show that Murdoch is hypocritical of copyright as his managers, and ultimately he is responsible for everything an employee does, especially if it is something as volatile, and as public, as this.
not number 16 on the top charts. He says :As a result, Ink is now ranked #16 on IMDb's movie meter and is currently one of the top 20 most popular movies in the world.
And here is a cut/copy snippet from IMDb:

MOVIEmeter: ?
Up 81,093% in popularity this week. See why on IMDbPro.
I'd say that between the "sub-culture p2p distribution network" and the "30 second blogspot commercial teasers" that the popularity is going through the roof right now.
Except she is not a private citizen, she is former VP candidate and actively lobbying for supporters for a later bid. She is lobbying for people, she is using her notoriety to boost people. That makes her a "public servant". So, as she is doing this for a public lobbying group "Right for Life". This stops it from being a "private" meeting. If she wants privacy then she need to drop out of ANY governmental or public speaking.
Except for the panicked carjacker who then realizes that the accelerator isn't work, is going to puposely slam on the brakes in teh middle of an intersection to create enough confusion to get away...
They are running from the law for a reason (guilty or not guilty as the courts will decide), they are not going to let a loss of acceleration keep them from getting away. If they do, then they deserve to be caught.
Information has always been free, it has only been relatively recently that people wanted to charge for it. You cannot tax or charge for "word-of-mouth" news, which we still get on an almost daily basis.
Also, yes you can call 911 for every whim, as long as it is an emergency. You can call the local police non-emergency number for anything else. They do have a civic duty to "serve and protect".
In the world wide web, I am more apt to listen to the town criers that actually tell the news, then the ones that cry "pay me first for the news".
Sorry I disagree with you on this, as does micro$oft. Micro$oft repeatedly told people (during the age of floppies) to make backup copies of them, then USE the backups to install. That way you always have the original to make another duplicate. multiple copies off an original(stretching here calling anything truly original in this context) is a far better cry than a copy of a copy of a copy. Case in point: cassettes.
I am going to have to back ToHo on this one. You ask where is the actual "harm"? How about the fact that Comcast has a less than favorable reputation. ToHo, like most businesses only want their products associated with the best representatives. If they didn't do this, then it *could* look like an endorsement of ToHo for Comcast. Which, in my opinion, could do some great harm to Godzilla's Image. The harm is not in being displayed, but with who you are associated with.
Kevin, while I don't buy the "addiction" angle, saying a virtual game does not alter brain chemicals is also wrong. Depending on the game, the risks involved, the escapism from reality, endorphins will be released based upon certain milestones in the game. Saying a game doesn't alter brain chemicals is also a very dangerous road.
ESPN finally got it right, and coordinated something like this to increase their ratings. I think I would be looking at her ratings on ESPN and see if they have gone downhill recently. If they have, it is a good argument that this was staged in order to bolster her reputation. Someone made a comment about how women got in TV to begin with, well if what I said is true, she just proved that point, she just did it with Streisand Effect combined with Viral Video.
