One other point to remember, is personally I would be against my bot learning from the web as probably 75% of the web is rubbish lol.

As I say, never said it couldnt happen, just that its not as likely as certain people would have you believe.

The odds of being hit by a runaway car are probably more likely, as are being involved in a motor vehicle related accident, yet we all still get into them most days of our lives don't we?

Is that logical?

Interesting article though and vid, thanks.

quote:I see that you do not believe in the power of technology and scientific calculation of safety. check your cell phone, if you have one and see if it ignites Gasoline, if not then we know that the goverment was lying about cell phones igniting a volitile Gas.

Aside from anything else here, this just caught my eye.

Having parents who once owned 2 petrol stations, I have never seen once a mobile phone ignite petrol (gasoline for you yanks hehe)

Not to say it cant happen, but probably not as likely as certain people in 'authority' (see that word again...) would like you to believe.

Heh nice one Art, knew it wouldnt take long for you to appear on a thread like this hehe.

Also, for you conspiracy theorists out there (who me? lol),

Approximatly 3 years ago the Japanese launched a missle that would take extreme close ups of the entire surface of the moon.

Great I hear you cheer, if the USA went there, then the photo's would show the 'remains' of their 'numerous' visits yes?

NO, I have spent many months searching for the 'photographs' produced by the Japanese, and well, trying to find any information on the whole mission is like looking for a needle in the proverbial haystack.

Now I ask...

where are those photographs?

And to further noodle your bake (?), why did NASA try to ban the film Capricorn One?

And then to fry your noodled bake...even the designer of the lunar landing module said it couldnt get there...

Again...left your own conclusions.

heh I take it from that you are not a believer then. Thats fine by me Jerry as I neither believe nor disbelieve the existence of an almighty entity.

Im what you would call firmly on the fence with an open mind to the possibility of either being true (if thats actually provable).

What irks me though, is failure to maybe look a little deeper into the rabbit hole and never question what we are told, for some reason, the majority of us blindly believe everything told us to by someone in authority

Surely the best way to 'learn'...is to question?

hehe, the answer I knew I would get...

quote:the theories evolved from both observation of heavenly bodies and Nuclear and Fusion technology from very intelligent scientist.

Theories being the operative word here...

quote:most space missions are carried out on the conical shadow side of the Earth, this is a known fact that by calculating the conic shadow of the earth and orbiting in it one can reduce the radiation exposer time a great deal whether there is a gamma ray burst or not.

Now is it fact or theory...and ultimatly...according to who?

quote:The devil as far as I am concerned through facts doesn't exist, it is ones own Psychological disorder that is responsiple for ones own actions and actions of others.

Then surely the same must be said for God and religion?

quote:the color of your text is percievable by the cones and rods in the retina of your eye and then translated by your brain as a perceptual image turned right side up.

Although scientifically correct, you failed completly (or maybe purposly) to understand my point. Your 'eye' does not know its is black, or blue, or any other colour for that matter. When you were first born, did your 'eyes' tell you a certain colour was black, blue or even green? No it did not and you know that as well as I do. The reason you 'know' it is black has nothing to do with your eyes, and ebverything to do with you were 'told it was black, blue, green etc'

quote:observable facts is the answer.

Define a 'fact' please...

quote:I never believe everything I read or told unless it was peer reviewed by some of our most outstanding minds.

And what makes them so right?

What makes us believe something someone in a position of power/knowledge/authority tells us.

I am very sorry, but to blindly believe everything or anything told to us by such people is quite simply, lunacy.

How do therse people know what they know? Have you ever asked yourself that?

For once I'm speechless.

How the hell did it go frpom religion to to the universe? And how do we actually know how a black hole is created? Text books, researchers? Scientists? Forgive my lack of logical intellect but when did they go up there into the times of space and test and view all these theories?

next you will be telling me some blokes from nasa really went up thjere and landed on the moon with nothing but 1mm thick aluminium foil between them and the radiation?

Or that, why anyone who believes in religion would go to a church when the very notion of a church contradicts the very idea of a 'God'

And that, apparently, over 70% of the population believe in a God, yet strangly enough, only 20% believe in faires, or leprachauns? How odd and hypocritical is that?

And that for desert, depending on your bible studies, The Devil is actually one of God's highest ranking Archangels, and was cast out from heaven for daring to question God's future for the human race.

And if The Devil was cast out for questioning God's methods and reasoning, looking at the world we see before us today...who is actually more concerned with our best interests?

Whats more believable, that an almighty being exists that created everything, then for some reason, forgot we were here for a while or got fed up of us?

or,

That mankind, unable to be without purpose in life or direction, created him ourselves?

And then, to leave you with a brainteaser of sorts, ultimatly we all believe what we want to believe regardless of anything else. Example, what colour is my text in this post?

Anytone?

yes its black of course, but ask yoursself, how do you know its black? Then ask, how do you know abour religion, or the universe, or time travel, or anything else for that matter...

because somewhere at some point, whether by person, book etc, you have been told so....

Carl,

Understood but my reply was really aimed firmly at Rainmans apparent gibberish. Is it any wonder the bot either says something crazy, or, says nothing at all?

With he is going on about, your into college/university lectures almost, how can a chatbot expect to understand and comprehend that kind of conversation? (Unless said bot had been subjected to said information of many many many years of training)

Ultimatly the relevence of a search engine is dependent on key words submitted by the site in question..or meta-tags.

Unless you know exactly what the site/sites may have used as these tags, you can type anything into a search angine and it will always be a hit or miss things dependent on what your looking for.

Bill, may I ask a personal question?

Does your wife or kids ever get sick of the sound of your voice? Becuse from your posts I can imagin ethat you love the sound of it.

Just an observation, and my own opinion.
