Conversations between human beings, usually, arent prerehersed and stored.
They are for some people. Talk an Aspie down a verbal path they've never explored, and they'll be flummoxed. In fact, you could say that they are for almost every toddler. Toddlers repeat phrases they've heard, sometimes within context, sometimes not. Eventually they learn that repeating those phrases within context makes people happy, so they continue to do it until it seems innate to them.

Cleverbot: How old is famous lindsay lohan from america?
Then I tried something mildly offensive:
User: Happy face 8=D.
Cleverbot: No sad face.
User: Really happy face 8=====D.
Cleverbot: No, really really really really hard.
User: Hello. On a scale of 1-10 how smart are you?
Cleverbot: 10 being smartest, I would say I am 8.
User: Weak! Why are you so stupid, stupid?
Cleverbot: I was born like it.
User: Then why did you clain you were an 8/10 on the smartness scale, liar?
Cleverbot: When did I do that?
I don't really understand this at all. The world rests on the backs of four elephants, and those elephants rest on the back of a turtle. _Then_ it's turtles all the way down. Skipping the elephants doesn't change the math, but it does confuse the issue.
What people don't realize is Apple can see the Serial Number of the device that purchased anything. If $50 worth of crap was bought on your own phone, You're responsible. An exception to the rules may be made if it was a kid or something.
Or if malware on your iPhone bought it?
2) Phishing: Time and time again, $50 bucks worth of crap is bought from a different machine with an IP address in China.
WTF, Apple? Unless my iPhone regularly logs in to iTunes from China, temporarily pause any purchase and send me an email notifying me that an unusual IP logged into my iTunes account. Even Facebook does that. You should be ashamed.
3) Identity theft: I spent half my time dealing with purchases made on stolen credit cards. Call your bank. If someone went to a grocery store with your CC, and bought groceries, you don't get mad at the grocery store and demand your money back
No, I call the credit card company and tell them to reverse the charges because the grocery store clerk is too stupid not to check ID (or was complicit with the fraud).
As far as passwords go, the requirements are a capital, a number, and more than eight digits long.
Not only are you incorrect regarding the requirements, what you list is rather pointless. A minimum of 16 characters, no limit on valid characters, is much better.
Being from a pre-internet generation, I don't remember rushing to the library more than once because I "had to know right now". Library trips weren't more frequent; knowledge searches were just far more sporadic, waiting until the due date for your currently checked out books. As such, Google can't say they're saving energy that way, but they can say that they're helping to foster a more educated populace (educated in *what* is a separate question). Kind of like how the invention of the vacuum cleaner didn't reduce work for housewives of the era, it actually increased it (pushing a big heavy thing around instead of a broom). But it did make things cleaner, picking up all the dust that brooms left behind.
But fashion innovation isn't exactly science or the useful arts. It's fashion; new and different for the sake of difference, not because it's usefully better.
Any human interested in this will own a screen and a keyboard already. Any human interested in this will not be scared away by having to run a non-mainstream OS.
Any man interested in Helga will own a fat-crevice washcloth and an electric mole-scraper already. Any man interested in Helga will not be scared away by her vestigial penis. We have both described very small sets of people (and possessing items and lacking fears are not really sufficient to produce the desire for the computer/hag so the sets are smaller; I own extra HID and monitors, love Linux, but have no desire for a $25 computer).
"Favoring" in procurement just means it gets weighted more than the closed source project. It doesn't automatically mean they'll pick it instead.
Indeed. The author probably expects women and minorities to be hired for every job too. News Flash: Just like people are usually hired by skills first, software is purchased by capability first. "Does it integrate with Exchange?" "Does it have a silent installation/upgrade mechanism?"
Advertisements are usually about making a positive emotional association with a brand. Anything that makes a negative emotional association is bad and to be avoided. If 0.1% of moms stop buying Gerber because they were sent a link to gerber.xxx in an email, and only remember the "bad feeling" about that, it's still lost sales.
Stick with programming, and the next time some uppity EE grad says "you know, you're not a real engineer", show him your engineering ring from ME and tell him to suck it. It'll be worth it, guaranteed.

(I wonder how my cat would react if he met a glowing cat in the front yard at night.)
Depends on how it smells. Cats may be sight based for prey, but they're very scent based when dealing with each other.

Dude, he's stupid (only 8/10). Give him a break.

it's also his business to know whether it's really going to be saturated so they can do the right network on the backend.
Naw, that's Jasper's Engineers' business to know. As CEO, it's Jasper's business to swim around in a pile of money like Scrooge McDuck.

Theres no maximum length.
Can I use spaces?
Insurance/Government pays for it. Why not jack up the price?
How hard is it to patch safari on a Mac?
softwareupdate -ia && [conditional reboot], done. You can cron that shit.
There, fixed GP for you.
Are Games Worth Complaining About?
Billions of sports fans can't be wrong.
sci-fi is *real*. It's real, like wrestling
You've just solidified the Syfy-WWE link. Darn you to heck.
If you *think* you're conversing with your lawyer, but it's really someone else, is it still privileged info?

I could have told you that.
Nice to see Godwin is alive and well.
Is he living in Argentina?

If it works, maybe they'll make a .goatse TLD to do another shakedown.
I know small companies that feel responsible to their product. Artists often feel that responsibility too. Big corporations? Not so much.

A smaller government. A government based on the founders' principles of minimalistic, well defined roles.
Sure that too. But that's a plank all platforms pay lip service to.
maybe the R's, but no one else pays lip service to reducing the size of government (only lower taxes).
