Geez, I'll second that Ryoko is female perfection comment. She's smart, powerful, um . . . athletic.:) It's sad, she really loves Tenchi deeply, but hides behind her own playfulness. It's characterization like this that really brings out the beauty in this story (and a lot of other Anime). Ayeka is just bratty.
The Tenchi Muyo series is my favorite so far and is truly something special. I'm still (happily) watching the OAV series I was given for my birthday. The movie Tenchi Muyo in Love was excellent. The series fits into the Adventure/Romantic Comedy category.
Macross Plus is also-well written and stunningly animated. I'd say that it is a tragic hero/romance story. Lots of tasty computer animation also.
Dominion Tank Police is also a lot of fun. Good sci-fi adventure story with a lot of comic relief.
Slayers is a fantasy-genre action-comedy. Those who play RPG's will recognize a lot of spells.:)
I don't much care for Ranma ½, but it has been recommended to me so many times that I'm going back and trying again.
I'm wanting to see several of those that CmdrTaco recommended, especially Perfect Blue.
Actually, you've got a pretty decent point. Depending on the #channel that the bot will be attached to, the context of it's conversation will need to change. This would suggest that research (geek) and knowledge of the (usual) conversation (geek geek) subject and diction types and expected answers would preclude creating an intelligent conversation bot. Put the B1FF bot on one channel, the pr0n bot on another, and hey! You could be a winner!
I'm almost ashamed I suggested it.:)
Anecdote: my friends and I have a joke about the canonical newbie chat:
Question 1: Isn't the internet great? An OK conversational opener, even if it is a rhetorical question.
Question 2: What's the weather like there? Not bad either, there is all kinds of expression here about desires for travel and identification with the other party. Until . ..
Question 3: Wanna have net.sex? *sigh* No comment. We're doomed as a species.
I they might be selling a real (i.e. not free) version of RedHat with each laptop.
It makes sense:
It sells Redhat Linux (which is what RH is in the business for)
It helps fund the tech support with LinuxCare.
It shows that Linux continues to be a commercially marketable commodity: more drivers and clout.
It helps all those poor souls who weren't late buying Redhat and LinuxCare stock. (grumble):)
I just wish this had happened about the time I bought my Inspiron 3200. I would prefer to line Redhat's pockets vs. Microsoft's. We're merrily spec'ing Redhat servers from Dell as I type this.
