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.

I somehow doubt that's the best way to give Onyx a secret message(I didn't, but I'm surprised I didn't accidentally see it).

"Paging Eliza: Patenting IM Bots"
from the patent-office-fails-the-turing-test dept.
gondaba writes "The US Patent and Trademark Office has granted an all-encompassing patent to ActiveBuddy that covers every step of IM botmaking technology. According to internetnews, ActiveBuddy now plans to enforce the patent, even though the existence of prior art is well-known and documented."
ActiveBuddy stated,

"We invented interactive agents. Anybody using his or her own tools (to make bots) is obviously using our technology without paying us to license the server, for example. We are a startup company and we have to protect out future. That's basically why we secured this patent," Kay said
"Any company such as ours that is venture-funded has to protect itself. It's standard procedure to file for patents when you invent something. This simply allows us to build a business," Kay added.
He did not say whether ActiveBuddy had specific plans to issue cease and desist orders to Web sites that share code and bot-making techniques but, already, there are rumblings among developers that ActiveBuddy's patent win is ludicrous.
David deVitry, who founded the RunABot site laughed off the patent win and believes it is unenforceable because of the availability of prior art. "They (ActiveBuddy) don't have anything that's really unique. They're just the first to commercialize it and make money from IM bots," he said.

I don't think we have to worry @ the PF, since the PF was created by The Prof, and it's not a Messager bot thing, like runabot.com is.
(Either way it's ridiculous)

I never understood patents. Genes that have existed for millions of years can be patented, apparently. If that can be patented, I guess anybody can patent anything, as long as there isn't any previous patent.
Hey all, been on holiday for 2 weeks and forgot to mention it...I must now read through pages of messages...*yawns loudly* But on a brighter note, we got flooded!
Then I have tradem(c)arked the letter 'a'. And if you use it without the proper licensing, you will be forced to watch a day of the Am(c)anda Show and eat nothing but chocolate carrots. That is all.
*runs out and attacks a load of newbies* NEVER EVER RESPOND WITH THOSE IRRITATING PHRASES! ie. Really? Please Continue, Pleae Go On, etc...*runs around scream(c)ing*
It should be (tm(tm(tm(tm(tm(tm(tm(tm..... infinity.... )))))
You have just proved that it's logically impossible to trademark letter m (or letter t).
