let's hear it for Hungarian manorial quasi-serf labor obligations

 

Whaaaaat?

Okay so I won't talk to her/him. If anybody could clear up the reason as to why she/ he told me to stop talking to her/him in the first place, that would be cool.

I will then pick up my things, leave this neck of the woods, and most likely never show my douchey face around here again.

I thought we promoted friendly environments, not hostility.

 

I don't know why he told you to stop talking to him but you should be a little more respectful and leave him be without any question. You came here to carry on harassing and have been reported for that.

 

We do promote friendly environments, you are right, but trying to carry on with your harassment issue is going to lead to hostility. Serza is a regular here, you are not. Please do the honourable thing and just leave this "neck of the woods" as you put it.

Wolverine has died a few times, same with Sabertooth. But thanks to comic retcon's none of the established ways to kill them off for good are currently effective. Besides one. The only way to kill Wolverine and Sabertooth is decapitation with a weapon that shuts down their healing factor long enough for them to die off. Even than Prof X and others have said that you have to keep their head away from their bodies for awhile because there is a chance it could reattach itself to their body and they would come back to life.  

 

That would just be creepy. I'm picturing the head growing a hand to finger walk over to the body...

Whaaaaat?

yeah I know it wasn't just Hungarian but I think that the general name had a Hungarian etymology and began as a Hungarian institution, no?

Fair enough. You are probably right.. Should have just left it at that. I will bow out.

Whatever I did to offend, I apologize for. :/

Robot?

 

Hungarian etymology? Hungarian institution?

 

The original word is "robota" - labour. Alternatively corvée, but I have never heard the alternative word before I looked it up on wiki. Strange, right.

 

The word is slavic in origin, but it's the Czech variation that eventually became the term "Robot" thanks to Karel Čapek and his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)...

Also, the robots in the play are supposedly more akin to Cylons than the modern meaning of robots. Hmm. Not a clue if that's right.

 

Uh, who likes Battlestar Galactica? What are Cylons like?

[SardaukarElite]

and that dlc... *glowing eyes*

 

"But we fight for every second we get to spend with each other. Whether its two minutes... or two days... we don't give that up. I don't want to give that up."

 

Actually I cheated and watched it on YT, but it was cool.

[raging_monkey]

Does not matter. We are talking about comics. He death is temporary and they will come up with some stupid and convoluted way to bring him back in a couple of months. lol

true im thinking cloning lol

which ones..there are fully mechanical ones with AI, but also with programming controls that restrict the free will of the AI, 

 

then there are the flesh and blood ones that are organic, who have free will but apparently can also be progammed

Yes, I know. That is what I was referring to. The robota was a labor obligation to inhabitants of various Habsburg territories during the period of the Second Serfdom in Eastern Europe. It was levied upon certain inhabitants of Bohemia and Moravia, and upon certain inhabitants of Hungary. I was unclear on the etymology, but assumed it was some sort of unholy Slavic-Magyar hybrid.

Today has been a good day for me on the BSN. I have gotten a like from Auntie Artemis and Dani. I am a happy puppy.

I found no mention of the word in Hungarian. As a matter of fact, it sounds unlike any words I have heard before in Hungarian. Polish would be the more probable alternate origin (there is a word for labor, written the same way, but pronounced with a different stress, if I hear correctly - also, in Polish it means "work" in modern times, while in Czech, it is a slang for the same) - so, yeah. Polish, Czech, and Slovak (honestly, Czech and Slovak are so similar that I can claim to understand people from across the border without any sort of language course undertaken during my life)...

Yay movie weekend...

I don't know what to say to that so... 

[Serza]

I don't know which ones. I never saw the show, but RUR apparently has "robots" that fit the "flesh and blood, organic, free will, can be programmed" description you've offered. I might want to read the book.

 

I mean, Karel Čapek wrote a lot of good books for many different age groups (At least I believe it was him who wrote Pejsek a Kočička, and not his brother? Either way, the other brother drew the pictures.)... He even indirectly predits the nuclear bomb in Krakatit (the plot is about a super-explosive, capable of erasing entire cities at once) and writes a warning about the German political situation of his time (he lived during the 1930's) named Bílá Nemoc - it's mostly metaphorical, though.
