Well the most obvious function of a household robot
would be to make us humans a cup of tea and bring it to our beds and simultaneously ensure we are awake at an appointed hour. A practical secondary function would be to deal with charity beggars at the door, or anyone from obscure religions vending their mysticism at 08:30 on a Sunday morning

Great album.
I always think the (admittedly funny) silliness surrounding the band did a little disservice to the genuine loveliness of their music. I think Pete Steele's bluster and jokiness was a sort of sheepishness about his real creativity. It's all just farcically lugubrious to the point that I initially dismissed them as a joke act, but under the gothic rumbling there's a Brian Wilson-like ear for harmony, melody and arrangement. Those lovely descending lines that resolve into blissed-out choruses in "Haunted" are something else.

This user censorship goes again everything B3TA used to be about. What with this and hostility to new members, it no wonder this place is dying.
Leave off reading all the Clinton propaganda and maybe you won't be as scared. You do realise the exact same thing is going on in the Trump camp, right? They're equally Scared about Clinton. You're all on crazy pills.

(, Sat 1 Oct 2016, 12:25, Reply)
Seems like a perfectly reasonable chap.
BTW if you want to cause some trouble in an apple store without fear of arrest just walk down the rows of shiny laptops adjusting the angle each screen slightly as you go.
Why would you do this?
All apple laptop screens must be displayed at exactly 76 degrees.
The purpose is to make any potential customers adjust the screen and make a physical connection with the product. This increases the chances of a sale.
All apple store employees have an app on their phones that they use to make sure all screens are kept at the right angle.
You can have lots of fun messing with the screens then watching the blue shirts scurry about re-adjusting them.
