Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

Patricia...The prof said that such an idea for bypassing the spellchecker is in the works, so that the bot will not get "gastric" when someone says "gracias" to it. Ain't that great? I can't wait.

does anyone know if when you use a goto to route a response for one keyword to another, if that resets the system that makes the responses come up in a way that doesn't repeat the same ones over and over. Like if you have the keyword dog and the keyword pooch, and you have a goto dog for pooch, will it not take into considereration which responses it already gave to the word dog when someone says the word pooch? just wondering because i have a few gotos and seem to be getting alot of repeat responses.

I want to make a blanket apology for my spelling and short responses. I am not from Leeds--and I mean no offense, I just get brain freeze a lot. Anyway, if I say "hi" and dissappear, it is just because I am spacey or something else popped up in my screen and I started clicking popups shut.

Anyway, you were almost done with the pet peeves, but I have to say it bothers me when people proposition Ruthie, who is clearly a child. I don't care if they talk dirty to Spike (who is just learning not to call men "pet" or "luv"). Spike will probably hit them. Gabi will just tell stories. It's a little sick when someone seems to enjoy molesting a pretend child.

Arguably it's better than molesting a real child.

True---and I'm sure a lot of it is shock value--but it's still a bit sick somehow. I'd really rather they just call Gabi a lessie 500 times.

What's all this about QBasic?

cls
for i = 1 to 9
locate 1, i*2
print "ha"
next i

hahahahahahahahaha

QBasic rocked, it was so nice and simple.

yea

I just loved how Qbasic was orange and had that big nose and hopped from square to square.

Oh yeah, and the way it sang itself to sleep every night. And remember how much it loved egg salad?

Careful Doulos, that reference is showing your age. Then again, since I got it . . .
