- You ignorant fools. There's no such thing as robut. The word 'robot' however, comes from a play called R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) written by the Czech playwrite Karel Capek and first produced in 1923.
Why the hell do I remember that date!? I never remember dates. Weird.

Which is to say that "Number 6" can move. Webpage to follow, sometime after this weekend (when we write it.) You may now commence "huh?"-ing.

- I believe the settlement was for an Xbox, a trip to somewhere, a subscription to Microsofts programmers magazine, Microsoft programming course certification, and Microsoft will generously pay to register his new domain.
That's pretty sad, however, I would like an Xbox just for changing a domain name. Hence www.microssoft.tk and www.microsopht.tk.

- So, you're posting a microsoft spoof?
Did any of you hear about Mike Rowe, the computer programmer who created a program called MikeRoweSoft and was being ordered to change his domain name by Microsoft? I thought it was pretty funny. Microsoft initially offered to pay him $10 for the domain registration (that's it) but they've finally settled on a larger number and a subscription to some programming website. Funny story though. Upon the media publicizing this event, his website was getting a few hundred more hits a day than it previously did. Way to go guy!
um... as for Big Fish, I don't know if it'll be cheaper or not. I suppose we could go somewhere cheaper, or during the matinee prices (do matinees still exist in this ubercapitalist world?) I'll look into that.

- Inspired by a posting by Paras saying a swift kick to the Spirit Rover might get the thing going... I guess I was picturing something equivalent in size to a Radio Control Car... but I had heard it was somewhere close to the size of a golf cart. So here are some lengths:
MER rover (Spirit and Opportunity): 180 cm
Lunar rover: 400 cm
Small golf cart: 238 cm
Large golf cart: 325 cm
And just for comparison sake... the Canadian Miltary/Government is getting a lot of flack for its crappy equipment. Here are some more lengths:
Iltis combat vehical: 389 cm
Compared to the our best friends to the south's big beast:
Abram Main Battle Tank: 830 cm
