Eliza got a fair way towards that, as it is quoted that its inventor's secretary used to have full on conversations with the machine and would get quite agitated if she was not able to talk with it regularly.
Light years ahead of this we have the Mega-HAL, a fantastic program which uses Markov chains to produce the most "surprising" response to a sentence. The idea is that as long as the content is novel, our human minds will read meaning into it. Just look through some of the transcripts to find out how much!
Thinking about it, isn't that exactly what most of us do in "small-talk"?
Chickens can fly with clipped wings, it just takes more effort for them. The solution to this is supposed to be to clip *one* wing only, so that any attempt to fly is lopsided and ends up abortive. The strangest thing was that our blasted chickens learnt to flap one wing faster than the other and ended up just as able to escape their enclosure as their non-clipped friends!
1) If the sender spoofs the MAC and IP then your senders' charge will fall on innocent victim. 2) If someone does this and sends you a million emails, you won't be happy to pay to receivershp fee on all of them, just in order to extract some precious few emails from the flood. In the real world, it doesn't matter whether this is SMS, email, radio or good old fashioned sound communication. All can be spoofed by people who don't wish to be traced. The blowback from their actions will inevitably be paid for by law abiding citizens.
It reminds me of an advert that's running here in the UK, which claims that "if you are using a pirated digital set-top box, your signal can and will be blocked, and you will be fined". They might as well have said "downloading mp3s WILL give you herpes" or some other similar scaremongering. News flash!!! A digital radio signal is just that: a RADIO SIGNAL! So what are they going to do? Put up a faraday cages over all the pirated (spoofed) digital set-top boxes? Yet another public display of ineptitude that casts the people in charge in an unfavourable light and makes me really, really weep when contemplating the future of humanity.
Now now no need for slander. It's just as likely this kid was just bored and downloaded windoze hacking toolz from a hacked windoze server onto his parents' windoze pc to 'leet hack some misconfigured windoze computers. It's not your fault you're a bit on the slow side and don't realise that *every* computer program requires forever patching - not because of "linux hackers", but because of a clever hacker called Alan Turing's famous "halting problem". Read up on it, get a girlfriend, get a pet...
Consciousness is the manifestation of probability wave functions along the time axis of the universe hypersphere. The map along the time axis contains each conscious path, with bias toward the most interconnected.
Therefore, if enough people believe something to be true (an interconnected group), it will become true along the local time axis, until all members of the group are exhausted naturally or via an external mass-time event.;-)

You should be working on the M$ marketing dept!!!
You say 'back up what is important to me'; the computer can't do it. Well, WinFS can! With its new mind-reading neural synergy(R) component infrastructure, WinFS provides exactly what is important to you!
You say 'show me things which contain financial information'; the computer is again lost. WinFS isn't! Purchase the i-work(TM) 'bolt-on' to complement each WinFS connected drive. Your computer will decide all these things for you. Put your feet up and enjoy Microsoft's =Zero=Energy(R)= infrastructure.

If one more person tells me how great "Rapid Application Development", "Code Databases" and fscking "Graphical" programming or office tools are more technologically advanced, I will puke on my keyboard.
I want to be able to *tell* the computer what it will do, in no uncertain terms and I believe that people using two (or three) buttons and a lot of arm waving to "do" "work" are taking great leaps back down the evolutionary ladder.
We have a linguistic ability shared by very few other mammals - so we should be using it! Until speech recognition is mainstream, keep using the keyboard and ditch the funny looking buttplug.
Our society is addicted to data but can't handle it. The boss asks for a report on company revenue so someone gives him a report of sum(register_cash_float) and incorrect assumptions get made. Major corporations are the worst. Their databases become stagnant over time, and innocent people suffer because the workers have no option but to trust what is on the computer screen. All is not lost though! Your 3 year old is growing up in a digital world. They will learn skills that you have no comprehension of, and will shape the world as they see fit (unfortunately not as you see fit). Then we can all explore space in peace and harmony.
Approximating the distance between fingers and keyboard and distance twixt hand and mouse to the controls of an automobile;
Next time you are driving your car, let it coast along with your feet on the dashboard.
Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes to remove feet from dash, apply pressure to brake and come to a controlled halt, shortly after the sad-faced old man bounces off your bonnet.
Maybe a mouse is faster if you use a chording keyboard with one hand permanently on the mouse?
Either that or IBM's idea of sight tracking to select menus is quite cool.

Here's a solution that gets around the 7 bit problem (in fact works for any number of bits).
/) { $a=1; $t=0; $_ = scalar reverse $_; for (split//) { $t = $t + ($_ * $a); $a = $a * 2; }
."
Step 1 save binary comment into a text file
Step 2 create the following scripts
bin2dec:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) { chomp; for (split /
print $t.' '; } }
dec2asc:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) { chomp; for (split) { print chr($_); } }
Step 3 run the following command on the text file you made
bin2dec < textfile | dec2asc
So, the parent post is "Yep, that's the only fucking way. .
And the reply is "It sure is"
P.S. why are braces categorised as "junk" by the lameness filter? Without them my trousers will fall down!
I beg to differ. Most people are clock-watchers and "relaxed" all day, with a little nap in the afternoon when the boss isn't watching.
