!troll. Who am I trolling? Slashdot's editors? All I'm saying is that this could've used a couple more goings over for grammar.

Does anybody proofread these summaries? This is one of the worst I've seen lately.

He specifically followed that up with ", but they're protected because no one really takes them seriously and they don't actually do anything but posture." Are you an idiot or an over sensitive tea partyer with a persecution complex?

The Android in question, and indeed, all androids built with this directive would do everything in their power to prevent the corporation from liquidation. Failing at that, they would self destruct from the logical error that results.

Incorrect, as the zeroth law is to be obeyed before the first, second, and third. Thus the first law of phone security becomes "The device may not harm the user, or, by inaction, cause the user to come to harm as long as it does not violate the zeroth law" and so on for the rest. Read more Asimov.

Of course, it won't be until much later that the zeroth law of phone security is discovered. That being: "The device may not harm the corporation, or, by inaction, allow the corporation to come to harm."

Really, a submission every time anyone posts anything about violent video games and their alleged influence on kids? Mod submission redundant.

Mod parent up. The Muslim Brotherhood is being way overhyped by those who want to turn Islam into the next Communism.

You're a fear mongering idiot.

Generally speaking, no. The military of Egypt has always been a semi-autonomous force in the country mainly concerned with protecting the country itself and not getting caught up in politics. Military control in the interim is a much better alternative than Suleiman (the VP) or anyone from the DNP (all of which were essentially placed there by Mubarak).

Tired of this rhetoric. The Muslim Brotherhood is not as influential player in the region as fox news would have you believe. Nor are they a terrorist group or extremist group bent on anything other then the common goals of the revolutionaries. This just in, Islam is not the new Communism.

According to my Egyptian friends and from common knowledge of the region, the people in general are not against a military run country in the interim between dictatorship and democracy. It assures stability while also assuring that things are changing. The culture of Egypt is very intertwined with the military, almost every family has at least one person actively serving, so when they chant "The military and the people are one" they aren't being selective as to exactly who in the military they're talking about. The military up to this point was already seen and acted as an unbiased arbitrator not influenced by politics. As has been stated, they are there to protect Egypt and the people of Egypt and will not spill Egyptian blood. They're probably the very best group to hold the country together in the potentially long process of redrafting a constitution and instituting a democratic system.

My fellow North Dakotans and Minnesotans would beg to differ, friend from the North. Excuse me while I drill my fishing hole.

Maybe they "shouldn't" but they WILL. I'm sorry your circle-jerk of a philosophy doesn't pan out in the real world, really. You can go cry in the corner with the communists and every other extremist.
