Jokes are all more-or-less the same but have different levels of abstraction.
I would say something like...
Throwing stones Slap stick Word play Parody and sarcasm Association jokes ('Why do men have one more brain cell the dogs? so they don't try to hump your leg at parties') Parody and sarcasm (again, more the bill hicks style)
Most 'good?' stand-ups do alot of Association comedy, it builds a link with the audience, and makes things seem more funny. an AI can easily manage throwing stones, slapstick, word play and basic parody/sarcasm since they require low levels of empathy.Higler levels require the teller to have a high level of empathy with the audience, which is currently out the ability of AI's.
It shouldn't be too hard, 1: word play, shouldn't be too hard George walks into a resurant and asks for a quickie, 'sir' replied the waiter, 'that says quiche'.
What does george michel and a pair of wellies have in common? they both get sucked off in bogs.
2: parody, again this should be easy (ish) 3: in soviet russia in soviet russia jokes tell you.
Other types of humor are a lot harder, an AI wouldn't say somthing like What do you do when you've finished fucking a three year old girl? Turn her over and pretend it's a three year old boy.
What not get a laptop that will take a 12v input? you can use L200c voltage regulators to make sure you get 12v from the batery, they cost 1$. Radio shack, Tandy or whatever should sell them.

If you don't turn it off, yeah probably:)
I don't want it on in the first place.

"In Page Setup, there's an option "From this point forward" that should save your Page setup setting.
When I insert a date, my format choice hangs around for the next go at it. I don't use the keyboard shortcut though maybe the choice sticks around if you go through the menu once then start using the keyboard shortcut.
As for english dictionary, try the Set Language option in Tools???"
Ok, but I only wanted to tell office once, maybe it should look at my windows setup so I never have to tell it.
1: "Define reasonable", well hello,01234,this is a test will turn into hello 1234 this is a test
reformating 1234, to say text, will not keep the 0 that was in the original.
2: refer to 1, Excell should default to 'I fucking typed it in so that's what I want', not well I think you really wanted this. General format should keep what you typed, it doesn't.
3: "Define properly", my system local is setup as mm/dd/yyyy but it sometimes accepts some dates in ##/##/#### format where the days and months are impossible. Try debugging that over the phone.
4: ctrl+insert works some times, but not when a microsoftiee has coded a 'special' input box, and forgot to add the keybinding. Try find in outlook.
ctrl+insert &co work well in a lot of console apps, (ref ctrl+c == break)
5: 'auto-crap' "Probably. Why?",
refer to I fucking typed it and that's what I want unless I ask you to check it for me. 01234.
Does Excell handle CSV in any kind of reasonable way? when I input 01234 does excell still want to format it as 1234, and when I change it to text (or whatever) does it keep my original entry? Do dates work properly in excell yet?
Can I turn of HTML mail in Outlook?
Can I uninstall stuff without the CD.
Every time I goto search in windows (F3) does the Microsoft Installer dialogue pop-up and anoy the hell out of me?
Does fastfind sit in the background and hammer my pc from time to time?
How easy is it to install shit head the paper clip?
Can I tell Office that I'm english and have A4 paper, english dictionaries, the correct date format, paper size in inches etc..... without going through all the dialogues.
What about that horrible auto-crap, is that still on by default?
And finally, Can I use non-mdi, does ctrl+tab work, and can I copy using ye-oldie ctrl+instert instead of having to use ctrl+c (which sfaik is a break signal)
Well, I don't even know why I bother replying to trolls.
"Mac OS X is a single OS, as opposed to a set of OSes that may or may not work together"
So, when the next version of Mac OS X is released it will still be a single OS. Mac OS X, Linux , BSD etc... are all Unix varients, it's not that hard to make a common compile source for applications.
"OS X also has the backing of a long established company.....", what like IBM?
"OS X is also a BSD, which is a much better OS than Linux.", some would disagree, anyhow I though OX X was a single OS?
"Apple is adopting a less proprietary model", to some extents this is true, but Apple love to keep things Apple and they will sue you if you upset the apple cart.
"so many of the benefits of a completely open source OS are there too", OS X is only partly OSS, so some of the benifits are there, you can run a lot of OSS on Windows if you like.
Design is easy, coding is soooo boring and painfully slow.
OK, I much prefer design/analysis and consultancy to coding. I can code well, but I'm not the greatest coder when it comes to finishing off and the dogs body work.
Design is much easier than coding, dealing with people to get a good design is a bit harder, but not that hard.
Why did you write the log, was the analyst such a pain to deal with that you couldn't resolve the issues as you came accross them, or in the design phase?
The log smacks of 'I told you so', but did you tell him/her in the first place?
Ok, maybe this is a pipe dream, I usually moan about some crap, and pick up the mess though internal bug reports (which can only happen post release), it's more of a fault in the corporate system then most peoples progamming skills.
"Socialism only works in SciFi.", well true, though most Sci-Fi is communist not socilalist.
Communism has worked for thousands of years, your just blinded by modern history.
Most people forget that a hundred years ago almost no-one had a cooler and freezers were rare. Just like you forget that there were humans around, surviving in communes for thousands of years.
a1, A central this driver is fucked DB is a good idea.
a2. The point here is that Linux has it's 'own' drivers and windows relies on 3rd parties, making a1 a lot harder.
I can just check the changelog for the kernel to see if there's a newer version of the driver out.
c1, software should be robust enough that the user picks up the manual out of frastration before breaking things. If there's no manual then it's never going to happen.
To critisise is to make a point of view, I believe that every operator problem is a bug. If a bug is a 'feature' then it should be apparent to the operator that it is a feature and not a bug.
Ok, I know/knew a couple of people who've killed them selfs and several who tried. All over relationship problems (often money related) loosing a job or huge debit.
Well, there's OpenGL. Standard API's for joysticks, sound (alsa/oss) etc... Xine, more or less standard nowadays. KIOSlaves for all you io needs. What else do you want.
Wine X is good for all the current titles out there.
BTW Last check the ATI drivers didn't work with Wine X
The difference is everything. I work on FOSS because I believe in freedom. I would rather money didn't exist, so I don't want to put my efforts towards freedom into something the promotes consumerism.
(If they only charge for distribution 'costs', that's ok)
people get off far to lightly for white-collar fraud crimes.
1: Open a Swiss bank account. 2: put money from xyz white-collar fraud into account, get a few mill 3: goto jail (not for that long) 4: take money out account. 5: Enough profit to retire.
or 1: Open a Swiss bank account. 2: Rob a bank for a few thousand 3: goto jail (for a long time) 4: take money out account. 5: umm... well you've got a bit of cash, but was it worth the time?

But, gentoo what I'm using... Oh... Installed the package to do that.
the more carp patents that get let through the better.
Soon the whole stupid system will die under it's own weight.

ey, what if the nuke had been patented? or DNA, oh I forgot you can patent DNA. go boys, keep up the good work.

I currently redirect a fair amount of my salary towards freedom, so undermining the false economy.
