Robocop sued for illegal file sharing
//Under Fire of a Different Kind: Robocop outside the Supreme Court after today’s hearing.
Today the Detroit law-enforcement android known as ‘Robocop’ faced the Supreme Court accused of distributing hundreds of Gigabytes of illegally copied music. Prosecutors also allege that large volumes of pornography were stored on the computerised police-officer’s hard-drive.
Robocop desperately tried to defend himself, telling reporters “I don’t have to answer to these wild accusations! I AM THE LAW!!” Judge Dredd is now also filing suit.
Robocop’s defense attorney said that a downward spiral of guns and random violence had seen the android fall on hard times. “The next generation of Pentiums will mean obsolescence for Robocop’s outdated hardware. He has overclocked himself and is now prone to overheating. Also, he has gone a long time without a good defragging.”
The police deartment’s internal affairs division is also investigating Robocop’s off-duty activities in response to claims that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. We don’t think that would be too surprising at all.
//Some of those that were robo-enforcers were the same that bore crosses.

“I didn’t break the law, I AM THE LAW!”
Wonder what side Iron Man would be helping out.

Hey, forgive my ignorance, but what’s the difference between an android and a robot anyway? It’s kind of a boy question, really.

Robot = fully functioning machine that can process information, move on its own and respond to external and internal stimuli.
Android = a robot that is shaped like a human.
Cyborg = part human and part robot which is technically what Robocop actually is.
And what I was originally going to say was this : I don’t think we should pay meetup fees, it’s not that hard to remember that the third wednesday of each month is meetup day. It seems as though only a handful of people actually care about turning up regularly anyway. Much better to organize it via perthblogs or something.

Thanks Le Driver. And Mari is right about Robocop being a cyborg. I mean, you should never call a cyborg an android - it’s just plain derogatory.
Will try to edit perthblogs.org soon to include a meetup reminder.
