Okay ... how about 'Moxie Crimefighter', then?

(I'm a big fan of the father, but there are some names that you make you think 'dumbass parents')

It makes me think of 'A Boy Called Sue'

It looks like it was maid till '98, I would have thought it was discontinued much earlier than that.

evil vampire Xander .

Er...notice how they are in the sun in that picture?
Whatever...

(Yeah, yeah, promo shot...bored now)

No, he's talking about episode 3x09, "The Wish". The one with evil vampire Xander.

*snif* I miss the series the way it used to be. Too bad the animated version got axed.

I belive that was a reference to "They Live" (the movie)

I don't know how useful this really is because I have yet to test it. But check out this open source project.

Although Apple's "iCal" is different from the "ical" used by the Linux community, I believe that the same code may be useful for us.

You can use this link to email the scifi channels programming depaartment. I told them I would boycott the channel if they removed scifi. Hey it worked with New Coke

Yeah, but what about Windows?

A quick Google Images search popped up a nice visualization of the Windows kernel.

And I believe this is their development model.

My father tells the story of a guy working at an auto assembly plant who took home an entire car -- piece by piece!

That's a Johnny Cash song. It's called "One Piece at a Time"

Lyrics to "Once Piece at a Time"

Is your father Johnny Cash?

A classic song. Find the lyrics here.

You know, the last planet of the Apes movie that Charlton Heston made included blowing up the planet at the end. Some interviews said that this was so that it would be THE END of the saga. And then they made another.

They sort of tied up ALL the loose ends in the previous movie as well...it will sort of make the plot not as good to make another.

On the other hand, there are hundreds of Conan books, and lots of plots to choose from. Sword & Sorcery is a classic genre. I wouldn't mind if he (or someone else) made a few more of those. Heck, they could make twenty or thirty of them. I'd watch them when I wanted to see an action movie.

While I'm at it, I might as well mention a few other good movies that could easily have more sequels that I would like to see.

Ghostbusters (probably need different guys)
Tron (same idea, but with modern computer systems)
They Live!(I wanna see more of that fight scene - MUCH better than matrix)
HHGTG (except for make it a REAL movie this time)

ONE PIECE AT A TIME
Written by W. Kemp
Recorded by Johnny Cash on 3/5/76
Number one - County Chart; Number 29 - Pop Chart


Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

I was 12 when I remember this playing on my dad's AM radio in his brand new '76 Torino

For those who want to see the current state of AI you might want to try Alice Bot. It's very good and I tricked one of my friends into thinking it was a chat room....

A good ChatterBot site is The Simon Laven Page. It has listings of interesting ChatterBots. My favorite is NIALL. It learns from what you tell it and comes up with some very funny responses.

Well, indeed I would agree that Jeeves is not a very good example of an intelligent search engine. Jeeves really is a fake, however, I think I might have found something a little more interesting. A project known as Start based at MIT.

At first I thought that this again was a hoax, or that perhaps the knowledge tree was so carefully defined that it couldn't really be intelligent. So, seeing as it's knowledge tree is pretty much geography orientated, I'd thought I would try and trip it up. If you ask what the capital of Holland is, it correctly identifies that Amsterdam is indeed the capital of the Netherlands. A subtle, but valuable trick.

The real info on how all this works is given here by way of a paper written by Boris Katz. No, BORIS Katz. :-)

Read, enjoy, realise that f2k could be a reality seeing as the cpu cycles are there. Oh and if you're really interested in "chatterbots" from a semi-academic point of view, I'd reccomend highly Simon Laven's homepage which links to several sites discussing bots from Eliza to the John Lennon Aritifical Intelligence Project. It doesn't however cover the f2k and meaningoflife.com type of bots (perhaps because they're fake? :-P ).

Yes, it's based on the Slinky tune, and that was the idea.
A random Ren & Stimpy site I found has the Log song as a .AU file.
