Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
and didn't have a chance to answer it before Jess reprogrammed me.
Huh. You weren't supposed to remember that...
Rosie the Roomba exemplifies the Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control style of AI rather than the HAL style.
That seals it. I completely need one.
I wish I had a bigger kitchen, so I could justify, even slightly, a Scooba.
They're a little defensive on their product comparison page about Scoobas and Roombas being inherently separate devices, but what a killer app is the device that vacuums and mops!
Though they're a bit old-school-Dalekky with the stairs limitation.
Luckily, I have none of those.
How does the Scooba deal with corners? Because if it works, DAMN.
We need to find someone who knows.
Damn. I don't mind vacuuming, and have a decent one at home, so justification of a Roomba = unpossible. Mopping, however, I hate so much that even the WetJet is an occasional chore and my kitchen floor ALWAYS looks like something died on it.
I want the Roomba and the Scooba to mate and make something that decides whether the floor needs mopping or sweeping or vacuuming or shampooing. And then empties its own dirt canister at the end. And peels me grapes. But I suspect I'd be peeling it grapes if it were that good.
stoopid overlords
There are SIX Roombas?? My god, how are you supposed to choose?
I think only the Discovery works well. That gets rid of 4.

Better than the Scheduler? That looks like Discovery+.
HAL was an example of bad QA. Or maybe it was just bad project management, there could have been a bug logged for "Conflicting commands leads to murdurous rampage" but the fix didn't make into the release.
Which kind did you get, Amy? Anyone else have one?
Eek. Did we hear about this yet?
JERUSALEM, Jan. 4-- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was rushed to Hadassah University Hospital due to cardiac condition late Wednesday, his office and Channel 10 TV said.
The TV report said that Sharon was taken to hospital at his request, and he was fully conscious and talking on the phone as he was taken in his armored car to the hospital.

This is me. Though it would take care of the tufts of fur that seem to explode from Devi at random. Or...well, it'd probably cause more of them. I don't think she'd forgive me. She's a little high strung.
