Very odd. Really, incredibally odd. I read that book, it was good. I don't remember that robot, though. Is it Robbie? Or someone else? I like the end of that trailer, though. "3 laws safe". I still remember those. (Well, the basic idea, not quite ready to quote, though)
Keep flyin'! Happy Holidays!

Slick!

I built my own yesterday and was mildly chagrined to find there was no "kooky luau shirt" or "wacky fun" option.
I love how the advertising says over and over again, "3 Laws Safe." Oh really?

Well, Sarah, it depends on what story you read. It is a short story stroy book. Anyway, I don't remember what it's called, but the programmers changed the first law, so someone almost got hurt/killed.
Well, that's it. Happy Holidays!

The "Three Laws of Robotics" are as follows:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders conflict with the First law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second law.
Isaac Asimov, in his books, incorporated these laws as the base programming of all sentient robots. However, in "I, Robot", a robot named Sonny (Alan Tudyk) is allegededly involved in the murder of a prestegious scientist.

This might seem like a silly musing... but I wonder if there are robots in the FIREFLY universe.
On the core planets, perhaps?

Technically I'd call the garbage collector drone in Trash a robot, but it would be interesting to find out (someday, hopefully
) if there were some bots that were a little more analogous to living things crawling about.

But it goes against the laws that are programmed inside the brain! (Can't remember title of brain. It's p-soemthing). Unless you are stupid enough to change the law input, the robot is incapable of breaking those laws.

Is positronic the word you're looking for?
Regardless of actual robot brains, isn't the whole plot of the movie supposed to be that the robot is 3 Laws Safe but then they think it committed murder or whatever. So having them say 3 Laws Safe over is a great device. It's exposition and foreshadowing all at the same time.

Thanks for the word. I suppose so. I like that thinking. I must be a paper-man. (That's 30s-slang for one who sticks to the sheet-music, or, in this case, the book.) But nice idea, Sarah.
