Open the pod bay door HAL.
SteveG responds to an article in the Wall St Journal. He says that his TiVo has not become self-aware yet. (It only seems that way.)
If systems are making up thier own minds about performing tasks, why hasn't that story made the front page of your newspaper?

Doesnt that picture remind you of the computer Dave from 2001.
That picture IS the computer HAL (slightly modified) from the movie 2001.
This is a horrible site to link to.
I mean, this guy is a Williams wannabe, right?
Shermy be nice...I know you can be.
OK Sherm, you're just TRYING to piss people off now.
... and who is "Wiliams" anyway?
Lessons learned are like bridges burned
You only need to cross them but once.

People like me when I'm bad.
Williams is this GREAT college that kicks the puny ass of Amherst every season in all sports and in admission rates and hottieness of their students.
Oh, I see. Well... you're on your own here Sherm.
Sherm says, in the comments above, not on his own weblog:
"This is a horrible site to link to."
Right. The Wall Street Journal requires a paid subscription to view their stories on line. I read that article the old fashioned way, in the newspaper.
The Wall Street Journal web site is horrible.
Shermy and I agree!
