From: Lexxi Gynoid Data was an Android.
The borg were cyborgs that wanted to be androids.
The difference is the biological parts. And the ability to replicate like mad, apparently. |

From: Michael Bigwig I think the strongest distinction is the likeness to humanoid. Androids are most often fashioned to resemble a humanoid creature--robots take many shapes which are created to replace the job of a 'human.' (ie. a box and an arm that welds a car door on) Sorry, I have a mathematics background, so I tend to think of these things in terms of sets and subsets. I guess I'm just being too analytical for this android.  Love. |

From: Elora Lunasea And the ability to replicate like mad, apparently. Well, the ability to turn others into borg. I'm not sure they had the ability to "reproduce", though, without taking over a different life form and turning it into borg. I know there were "babies in vats" but I think they stole those.

Yes, that's why I didn't use the word "reproduce". I guess "replicate" wasn't quite good either.
However, on a side note, I would rather have sex now with Data than the Borg. Unless I was looking for a mass orgy.

And use the emotion chip or not depending on preference. "Replicate" reminded me of the "Replicators" from Stargate.

From: Lindal Kidd ...No, this is not a thread about some newbie orgy!
The last couple of nights, we've been having what seems to be a larger number of Ruths than usual arrive at Orientation Island Public. What's more, some avatars are arriving with a variation...
They're nude, and female in shape, with short brown hair and blank white eyes. When asked to put on some clothes, most tell me, "I'm trying to, but it won't let me". There is apparently some error message about unable to to load clothing, or clothing missing from database, or something. Considering some of the things I've seen there, this seems fairly mild. The other night someone was wandering around wearing a large black box with white white lettering on the sides. The lettering said read "Busy masturbating will come out when done"

I give you a solid 8.2. You can come across as very pure if you want to, but inside, you're a dirty, dirty girl. Shame on you, and congratulations.

From: Love Hastings I will say this though: what chance do I have if our resident android and gynoid aren't agreeing?  Yes...the sparks are flying today!  Cool your mechanisms, gentlebeings. There is room here for rational programs to disagree, given the multivariate nature of the english language. _______________________________________________________________________ "Infinite are the arguments of robots, for they are buggy and overclocked" Lindal "Catch A Hobbit By the Toe" Kidd |

Heh. I was just thinking that we all choose to identify ourselves in specific ways, and can be quite insulted when other (perfectly accurate) terms are used instead. All of us. So, no offense intended to anyone. Love. |

SL needs more things like this. And pig avatars. Definitely, more pig avatars. If people cannot be wacky here, then where?

I should point out that the aforementioned box wearer was on Orientation Island
I shudder to think what was going through the newbies minds when they saw him...

From: Michael Bigwig Nudity in itself is not a bad thing. We as a society (western especially) need to get over that--particularly in a digital space such as Second Life. I suspect it's prob'ly best if I keep my jumper on. Mari

I guess technically, I'm a "cyborg android" --or if that's redundant--I'm a cyborg. Cybernoid?
Yes in iRobot, Sonny was called a 'robot.' My HAV design is nearly identical to Sonny (same creator). Our skin has biological properties...we are more than just robots. I blame human-nature and discrimination...either that or just plain ignorance.
Yes, Arnold was a true cyborg: bio-mechanical.
