Ordered! This looks like fun. :)


"If you are a boy you should not love your boyfriend because you should not have one. If you are a girl then you should love him."

Hm I think CleverBot is a bit homophobic..


Ah 26, always a bit disappointing when you get the average score. One issue for me was that since english is not my native language I had to look up quite a few of the words describing different emotions.

Even so I was actually a bit amazed by my own ability to read the different emotions quite quickly since I'm worthless at reading people in real life.


I suspect I'm not the only one tempted to convert the nearest fountain into an antenna. Very nice indeed.


The fountain part of the video didn't make sense to me. I suspect the salt that would be added to the water in the fountain would have a corrosive effect on it.


The thought of going into space on something built in a shed has a definite appeal..


It is like the old sci-fi stories from the 1950's, when writers expected that in 2000 space travel would be as common as airplane flight. I think that more private, low budget efforts such as this one could drive expanded space travel development.

So far only huge commercial companies with billions of dollars have attempted such as thing, but that could change with projects such as this one. On the website it says that they plan to release as much of their designs as are allowed under export rules. It would be nice to see more home-brew projects. The danger of course, is that if this space launch fails and somebody dies it could be a Hindenburg for private, low budget space rockets.


The problem isn't the quants, it's the people that doesn't understand what the quants do and that a model is only a model.
