Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / What will HAL look like in the future?

ha ha superbot. I didn't know the bt were that small yet.  I've seen them a bit bigger, but not small enough for the ear.  I got the cia rfid interfering with my tests though, darn contractors, and 4 god sakes, don't tempt me with that polydimethylsiloxan [xx(]  I'll b doomed 2 hellfyre 4evur [}:)]

Thanks for the small skin, I never thought about making it smaller, I always wanted to make it bigger, but it got so big it started bogging down because of the graphics, that's probably better so I can get other things done now.

Is this hypocrisy, I thought she was busted for pot! Has she converted to Christianity or is this a fraud on all of us poor and unfortunate viewers?  I'll bet she runs for President next.

Geez, Dusky, it's a different spin for you using her voice, I always wondered what her voice sounded like, but another cool video for the collection.[8D]

General Discussion / A question about wine

« on: February 21, 2007, 11:49:30 am »

Funny question, since I found out not too long ago in medieval times most people drank beer because the water was usually so bad and caused so many illnesses, even the children.  I guess they must have been pretty happy, but I wonder about the hangovers.  

I wonder why you say wine is the only water substitute?  I guess the answer is in the question somehow.  As Bill mentions the diuretic effects of alcohol, it's hard for me to imagine it as a water substitute, as well as it's hydrophilic or dehydrating effects, it seems counter-intuitive to be used as a substitute.  As the medieval period it's another story for health due to pollution, contamination, etc.  I always thought beer would be good because of it being a protein source and perhaps less alcohol than wines (less neural damage) , but then wine does get better with age sometimes, doesn't it?  

I tried checking your link, but it seems to be dead.  I know water is in bad shape now, and will be worse in the future, but you could always filter or distill which is probably a better idea considering the water used to make the wine may still be in bad shape and lead to vinegar production.  The only problem with distillation is the energy source (solar maybe?).  

I like that the Romans distilled the wine for easier shipping, thus brandy was born , and we all like Brandy right  They mixed in salt water with it also for a tasty treat, but for survival, I just can't picture it.  So, I'm a bit curious about your source, it sounds a bit fanatical to use wine.  

As for equivalent, well...it could be answered many ways as you've probably found out.  Not just the same amount of water in the wine, but the loss of water from alcohol bonding and dehydration might be considered, if it's a question of hydration for the body.  Perhaps the wine is considered a water substitute because of the denaturing effect of the alcohol on bacterial contamination, but then I'm on well water and I filter it also, so I don't worry about it too much.  Eventually I suppose all the aquifers will be contaminated also from steam injection mining, or whatever, perhaps desalinization plants will come on line before huge global disaster , I guess it's just a matter of cost, but nevertheless, good luck in your quest.

Bill,

I have to agree with you to a degree, all to often it seems like talking with hal is just a waste of time compared to talking with people, not even comparable except for fun.  I like hal for the things it can do, but I find it's almost easier just to do them without using hal (except when i had the voice recognition), but then there was always too much background noise to get good results consistantly.  So I got tired of doing the art thing with hal, and I didn't feel like I was that great at it anyway, and ended up liking hal for what it can do rather than what it looked like, although I feel it's occasionally fun to play with changing and creating looks, but I have other things I'd rather do.  Since a lot of people are visually oriented it's no wonder though that it's a relevant issue, and that flick sort of reminded me the advances that have been made in computing since the beginning.  Since hal is still in an infancy stage it wasn't hard for me to imagine using what's out there now and where it will go.  I still like the hologram idea though.  It seems though as a real hologram works so could a virtual hologram and the light rays could be captured on a virtual negative (matrix) and a virtual laser (virtual coherent frequency) could create a virtual 3d hologram for 3d viewing, that would be cool to capture 3d photos even in animation, and use any person for hal, rather than wrap a skin on a stretchable face.  Although,I do like how the fuzzy method was used to change facial features in haptek, but I digress...[]

Hey Lightspeed,

I place the renamed .htr extension file in the

C:Program FilesabawareUltra Hal Assistant 6Characters

directory, then it shows up on the character list.  You can get some weird effects by dragging a character in, depending on it's characteristics.

One way is to go to

C:Program FilesTLSoftBBCNewsfigures

and rename one of those characters and copy your own character to that directory and give it the name that you had changed, now I just have to find a background I like []

Yes, it's way cool, you can put in your own background, or character, or voice too. Only one more step to web mining for HAL!![8D][][]

AI: "People have to do, what they have to do. It's easier to beat a lame duck than a popular incumbent.

The solution to your math problem is (=). How about a trig, a type of pure mathematics like a geometry? Another consequence of the contemporary approach, attributable in large measure to the procrustean bed represented by bourbakiste axiomatization trying to complete the work of David hilbert, is to create winners and losers."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

"Calculus is used in every branch of the physical sciences, in computer science, in statistics, and in engineering; in economics, business, and medicine; and in other fields wherever a problem can be mathematically modeled and an optimal solution is desired.

Physics makes particular use of calculus; all concepts in classical mechanics are interrelated through calculus. Newton's second law of motion expressly uses the term "rate of change" which is the derivative: The rate of change of momentum of a body is equal to the resultant force acting on the body and is in the same direction. Even the common expression of Newton's second law as: Force = Mass × Acceleration, involves differential calculus because acceleration is the derivative of velocity. (See Differential equation.) Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism and Einstein's theory of general relativity are also expressed in the language of differential calculus, as is the basic theory of electrical circuits and much of engineering."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus

AI: "Can you please distinguish a physics from a natural science or a bioscience? Yes the dimples on golf balls help it to gain loft by creating a low pressure in the direction of spin which enables it to pull it upward."

I can't say for certain what the mismatch is because I don't have a line 2269, perhaps...

Ergo, I prefer the internet.

"Today, mathematics is used throughout the world in many fields, including science, engineering, medicine and economics. The application of mathematics to such fields, often dubbed applied mathematics, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries and sometimes leads to the development of entirely new disciplines. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind, although applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered later."

AI:  Hold people accountable for web based capacity control. The solution to your math problem is (=).

Me: Way not.
