Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

lawyer conference?

Yup. My focus is on cyberlaw.

Yup. My focus is on cyberlaw.

Does the prospect of Cyborg law diminish anyone's enthusiasm over the development (followed by the screaming, running and enslavement) of (at/from/by) cyborgs?

Edit: In a fight between pirates and ninjas, would cyborgs always win? What if the pirates and the ninjas fought together? Is there a facebook page for that (Edit: yes, actually....just joined in the interest of peace and preparation)? What do you think Asimov would have thought if he had spent $14 to see the film iRobot? Would he want two hours of his death back?

...have to get to Yosemite one day - seen too many awesome photographs of it not to have to go and see it for myself...

No. However, there was one question asked at the conference that left me a bit chuffed: "Could the Great Recession be ended by stopping robots, immigrants, and outsourcing from taking our jobs?"

(btw, can a friendly Brit in this forum explain why chuffed is both a positive and negative word and how to modify it so it fits either? e.g., it seems to mean both pleasure and displeasure in separate situations, without direct distinction.)

Edit: In a fight between pirates and ninjas, would cyborgs always win?

No, they would wait until the sides have achieved mutual destruction and then take part in the cleanup.

What if the pirates and the ninjas fought together?

Despite the existence of a facebook page on this, it is impossible. The only way it could happen would require finding the mustard that brings them together like oil and water. This mustard has not yet been invented. However, it is speculated that cyborgs are that mustard, thus they would likely team up with the cyborgs in that event.

Is there a facebook page for that (Edit: yes, actually....just joined in the interest of peace and preparation)?

Did someone provide the mustard?

What do you think Asimov would have thought if he had spent $14 to see the film iRobot?

He wouldn't have. He would have waited until it was available free on HBO. Except, he would be ****** at how much HBO costs per month and how it seems to repeat itself all the time. Thus, he would probably have a hacked cable box, so he could get it for free.

Would he want two hours of his death back?

No.

Cyberlaw is basically any laws relating to, affecting, or stemming from electronic communication, especially laws that impact the Internet.

It extends from litigation to transactional work. It includes the terms of service, end user license agreements, and privacy policies that are thrown at you (but you never read - try reading one, it's scary).

My areas of interest are primarily around speech and privacy rights on the Internet, but that isn't exactly an area that pays if you cannot show a lot of experience. Thus, I bide my time by trying to do transactional and litigation work.

Summary Maztec is a reformed hacker with a 12 pound brain and hated the movie hackers because he never made it with Angelina Jolie and his hacking didn't look as cool "dorkie".
