    If a domestic robot was available on the market that would clean your house, do the laundry, ironing, gardening, take out the bins, do general chores, would you be interested?

    If this robot cost about the same as a standard family car with less and more expensive brands available would you still be interested?

    Depends on whether it was open source and easily customizable. I for one would want to be able to turn it into a deadly killing machine and/or sexbot.

    Much of the impetus for robot development is coming from 2 divergent sectors, medical/elderly assistants and the "intimate" robot, especially in asia. Much of the demand from the later is as a result of the one child policy in China and the skewed gender imbalance it has caused.

    Aye but in the long term they cost more than a family car and if anything goes wrong you're fucked with a big maintenance bill for something you can't use.

    What's the difference between a woman and a refrigerator?

    A fridge doesn't fart when you take your meat out.

    Yes that and there is no inner light in a woman.

    What - no more housework? As long as it wasn't creepy and about to rebel and think foe itself, then yes.

    Yes, I'd get one, and initially I'd love it.

    But after a while, I'd see it as a sign of how I'd let success get to my head, and how I'd become distanced from my working-class roots.

    I'd therefore tire of it and leave it to my friend Paulie, who'd love it after initially mistrusting it.

    I'd then be able to get back to my roots, do some back-to-basics training, and defeat Ivan Drago and thaw relations between East and West.

    So yes, basically.

    Would you let your robot post on boards for you? Think of all the free time.

    Maybe the friend I always dreamed of when I was 3.

    Absolutely. I'm sure he'd come up with much better stuff than I spout.

    It would be a good artificial intelligence test, to see if a computer could pass themselves off as a regular poster on boards, replying to posts and sharing their opinions.

    "Thread post number = 1"

    "Original post pun-making potential = 87%"

    "Initiate thanks-whoring post sequence!"

    It might work...
