"In what way is a self replicating robot distinct from life?"
Answer: It is not alive.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Argumentum ad Because I Say So. A logical construct so air-tight that it cannot be refuted by any means known to humanity.
Those robots doesn't count as life-forms. For one, they can't even replicate.
But they can create art. Sure, they're about six years old so their choice of subject matter is a bit crude, but what more do you need?
In what way is a "robot" a "life form"?
When they are the ones holding the death rays, they can be called whatever they like.
This may as well have been pulled out of a cereal box.
The simplistic style is partly explained by the fact that its editors, having to meet a publishing deadline, copied the information off the back of a packet of breakfast cereal, hastily embroidering it with a few foot notes in order to avoid prosecution under the incomprehensibly torturous Galactic Copyright Laws.
It’s interesting to note that a later and wilier editor sent the book backwards in time, through a temporal warp, and then successfully sued the breakfast cereal company for infringement of the same laws.
Free means you don't pay. Among other things...
Free means giving speeches about beer.
Hacking != Carcking,
I think I'm going to need a car analogy in order to understand this. Or maybe something about Elvis.
Except that Sony has claimed they will not distribute it in any form.
Kind of like how Disney refuses to distribute films once they have been placed in the "Vault".
Leadership starts at the top, especially with the man whose sworn oath is to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". If protecting the freedom of speech doesn't fall in the list of things that office holder should be doing, I don't know what is appropriate. His inaction and lack of leadership on this issue is appalling.
Has congress made a law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances while we weren't looking? Or is it possible that you really should read your country's constitution before you try citing it?
Putting police officers inside giant plastic bubbles and then tilting the whole of Manhattan Island to help them collect bananas is clearly the best approach to fighting crime.
Why this wasn't done years ago is beyond me.

It seems to me that if everybody in WMF right now moved to Scotland or Ohio, their fundraiser would be done within an hour. That's not exactly the price of buying a programmer a coffee, but if you're a small non-profit with costs of a top website: servers, staff and programs, perhaps it would be a good idea to cut costs where possible. You can read about that in a library or a public park where we can all go to think and learn. If Wikipedia is trying to be relevant, they should take one minute to think about where all their money is going and why. Thank you.
Yet they were among the first to adopt computers back in the 1950s.
And they're still using the same ones.
