- John Thompson (Symantec CEO) sits in his office writing worm variants A through Z.
- Poses as 14yr old l33t hax0r in chatroom. Shares worm source with some kid with axe to grind against world.
- Kid sends out worm, gets caught.
- Norton sells a couple thousand copies of its Antivirus software when a new batch of people get fed up with they're pc's turning into poo. Stock goes up. Big fat check for Mr. Thompson!
If you collect massive ammounts of data involving human interaction with computers, and the conversations between chat bots and humans then presumably you could use all of that in one extremely large database in the future. Speech Recognition coupled with this database wouldn't be a bad idea.
Of course, I wouldn't doubt that most people are like me.
"No. I will eat your babies."
- "I have no babies."
"Because I've eaten them."
- "You're silly."
"You're children are dead.
- "Petty child."
"You're right, I had to eat both of them. I was hungry, and one clearly wasn't enough."
When Zero Cool and his 'leet group of hackers infiltrated the Gibson. That's what this reminds me of, infinite ammounts of stupid. Except better. Sort of.
It doesn't read like you'll be able to convert existing MP3's because they would not have the information needed to create the extra audio channels. Looks like I'll need to reencode my entire cd collection...again. Fawk.
Really, I doubt their profits are being hurt by Microsoft being anti-competive. It's closer to Real being Anti-Good. Who wants to use a bloated peice of garbage like Real Player anyway...

That chatbot loses.

Damn good point. I didn't think of that at all. Double Fawk indeed.

I'm relieved to know that my ass is cleaner than my hands....
Perhaps they've decided to locate and fix bugs and security issues BEFORE they release a product...
Perhaps the missle that may have occupied the silo...Forget temporary blindess from flashing someone with my Vivitar 550..
Did anyone look at the auctions he's had before?
Jack Hammer of some sort... $360
Camera Flash... $12.50
Camera Bag.. $14.95
"Oh..Yah..I have a giant nuclear testing facility too...Four Million Dollars..."
So that's why I couldn't access my inbox full of ads for Penile Enlargement, Hot Sex, and credit cards...
