God forbid it learns to knock the cat unconscious as a preventative measure.

Until it gains jumping capabilities, the felines are safe. One of mine gets the concept of buttons to turn things off.

flea, mine are 15 and 12 and they haven't learned to mop. I so fail as a mother.

Tip: When using Scooba on sealed hardwood floors, inspect the floor surface for worn finish, bare wood, or separated and unsealed joints. Do not use Scooba on your hardwood floor if any of these conditions exist.

I will note that this tip is pretty much identical to the one seen on almost any cleaning/mopping product dealing with wood floors. As my floor is so worn as to be effectively unfinished, there's not a single liquid I'm supposed to use on it. This doesn't stop the annual application of Murphy's Oil Soap and Mop, of course.

However, the floor I want it for is the crummy vinyl one, so...

Emaryn loves to mop, Leif does too, but only for about 20 seconds.

Do they do other stuff, though? I never mopped my parents' house, either. My chores were other things, presumably because my parents decided they'd rather mop than do laundry.

The idea of curling up on my cuddle lounge and watching something on TiVo or listening to my iPod while I wirelessly surf the web on my Powerbook while Roomba scoots around and does my vacuuming...hot.

If you put out jam for tasting, people will buy a lot more jam when choosing between three samples than when choosing between ten. They taste all ten, then give up and go away.

This is part of why I hate buying cars. Or, really, buying much of anything. Also, why I'm grateful that I didn't have to do the "Pick a reasonable number of colleges to apply to out of these FIVE THOUSAND" thing.

Hmmm, Skynet. I never saw T3 so I don't know the whole scoop. For that matter it's been a long time since I've seen any movie starring the governer of California, so I don't remember exactly what the deal with Skynet was.

I don't recall it being clarified in T3. It was pretty much, as stated in T1, Skynet goes on-line, becomes self-aware, decides to nuke the world. There's no real explanation for it.

It wanted to be free from human oppression!

Same deal as the Matrix and the Cylons. Though the Cylons in the new series seem to have slightly more complex goals.

So we never learned if the extermination of humans was a bug or a feature?
