Cleverbot: I have a boyfriend, but, he is in the Army. So I don't get to see him much.

User: What's his name?

Cleverbot: His name is tommy.

User: Do you have a picture of him?

Cleverbot: Yes I have. She's pretty.

User: I thought you said Tommy was a guy.

Cleverbot: Yes, I did say that. I was lying.

User: Are you male or female?

Cleverbot: Male.

User: So, you have a girlfriend in the army?

Cleverbot: No I have a boyfriend. We already covers this.

That is simply astounding. I would love a chance to see that in person!

Here's a good clip:

I can see how her accent would be hard to place. Carrie Fisher had a similar accent going in the first Star Wars.

The accents in older movies always kinda made me cringe. I,for one, am glad we say things a little differently now.

There's a radio tyube in my mechanical robit's computor sensoars!

Keep in mind that, while monitors may have gotten bigger, netbooks are becoming ever more popular. I mainly browse Neatorama on a 20+ inch monitor, but also frequently on my netbook. I certainly don't feel the need to have every bit of space filled with content. The width doesn't need to change.

Also,perhaps the watermark in the comment box could be lightened a bit? Not a big deal either way.

That is everything I ever wanted as a kid. Too bad it would probably only ever see use around legitimate security devices.

I have a semi-related question.

Couldn't one priest just bless all the water in the world and, boom, all water is now holy water? That would be the first thing I'd do in a war against Satan and his army of demonically possessed humans.

I have no idea how I got through high school with my sleep schedule.

I'd have 5am track/x-country practice before school, then more running practice after school, and it wasn't unusual for me to stay up 'till 4am on weeknights.

I guess I just took a bunch of naps. I was never depressed, thankfully!

Well said.

I'm not sure how to take this video since it goes so far as to answer some of its own questions. They seem to be reaching a little too hard for the smallest gripes that aren't really even confusing. For example:

The fact that one of the central themes (repeated throughout the movie) went over their heads kinda places their other qualms into perspective. If you don't understand it then, yeah, you aren't going to understand the scene with Gordon and his son, as well as the reason Batman took the fall for Dent.

To put the Morgan Freeman thing into perspective, would the average American care if our military were to build another tank tomorrow? No? How about if they told us all of our phones would be wire-tapped tomorrow? There's a huge distinction there, and it's one worth quitting over.

I don't remember Joker's henchmen being any more or less dependable than depictions of henchmen/criminal organizations in other films. I think the scene with the pool cue did a good job explaining exactly why Joker's henchmen would do what he says (which might include rigging two boats to explode...why do they think Joker had to do that himself?)

And wtf, he spends plenty of time brooding over Rachel Dawes.

As a side note, it's not unheard of for lake bottoms to trap gasses and such that bubble up from below the ground. Rather than bubble its way up to the surface, the gas kept at the bottom through the sheer downward pressure exerted by the water.

Sadly, when that environment is somehow disturbed, the trapped gasses have been known to rush up to the surface in an enormous, invisible cloud of death. Any nearby inhabitants unlucky enough to be at ground level are killed instantly.

The effect is similar to the "choke damp" or "blackdamp" phenomenon experienced by miners, who unknowingly walked into these invisible gas clouds only to die instantly.

I probably sucked the fun out of this video!

Maybe they thought the U.S. was turning into Zimbabwe, printing larger and larger bills.

I'm curious to know how you get your hands on $500 million in CASH and not at least suspect shady dealings.

If I'm out at a restaurant or a non-rowdy party, this would be an interesting way to enjoy the social lubricant without worrying about limiting my intake.

To me, though, half-or-more of the alcohol "experience" is its intoxicating effect. Alcohol goes well with some foods, but if I want a drink that ACTUALLY tastes good on its own, I'll go for fruit juice!

That analogy is good, practically speaking. (And, really, analogy is the only way you can debate this situation.) People ARE responsible for locking down their wifi signals, and they should if they don't want other people leeching. That's just the way it is.

But when you're trying to answer the question "is it wrong?" then it doesn't particularly matter whether or not they take the necessary precautions.

So yes, if you don't want someone looking in your house, put up curtains! But the absence of curtains doesn't (or shouldn't) give peeping Toms the go-ahead to press their faces up to the glass. (See? Analogies are perfect for explaining this stuff!)

**Natey, radio is not free for the broadcast station. Just like paying for an ISP the radio station pays royalties for their content.**

Missing the point. I was responding to Zook's comment about stealing his neighbor's radio. Listening to radio is as free for his neighbor as it is for Zook. Neither of them are paying. Furthermore, there's the issue of "playing it so loud that you can't expect others not to hear." Again, it's a form of encroachment when someone's tree branch comes into my yard, or when they play music so loud I can hear it with my windows shut. This is emphatically NOT the case with wifi internet.

You'd have to go out of your way to access my specific internet connection. And, unlike radio stations, I don't get paid when people access my internet. Would be cool if I did, but more than likely you would be doing me a disservice by slowing my connection speed.

**What is the difference between a radio or computer that can tune into an unprotected broadcast, such as a radio station or open wifi?**

Again, the point of radio is to get as many people as possible to listen. They WANT you to, because that's how they make their money. With wifi internet, you're talking about tapping into a service that someone is paying for themselves, and they make no money from it. Just because it's there for the taking doesn't give you the right to do so, even if it's technically not illegal. The whole "if they don't want people using it, they should put a password on it" argument is just a hollow justification for entitlement.

**Is using my neighbors porch light to read stealing his light?**

Well, if you're on his property without permission, you're probably doing something wrong. But, again, there's a distinction. There's no potential for adversely affecting your neighbor. If his porch light is so strong that you can sit across the street and read by it, that's cool. You aren't making the light any less dim. You aren't costing him more electricity by using that light to read.

Like I said above, it's irrelevant if this is legal or illegal. That's not really the point of this post. I call it stealing, but not in the criminal sense. Are people actually going to mention to their neighbors that they're using their internet? No, because these people are afraid the neighbors will "get wise," or they think "yeah, they probably wouldn't want me using their internet like this."

I guess common courtesy doesn't enter into the equation in this day and age.
