Racter was an experiment in the '80s that actually had a short life in truncated form as a commercial "game". It used an internal root database coupled with the user's own inputs to simulate a somewhat bizarre conversation with a possibly mentally ill person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racter Sometimes its my assertion that the "Internet" comes on the CD disk you used to get access and everyone you "meet" are just little programs on the disk. This bit of existential humor has lost something since the AOL disks are mostly gone... Personally, the main intercepts I had with "AI" were these: 1) automating the Shuttle using a fuzzy logic controller and scripts (early cargo shuttle research) 2) developing a prototype "adaptive feedback smart controller" for Manned Maneuvering Units (astronaut jetpacks). They were supposed to handle all the grubby details so the astronaut could focus on turning the screwdriver (or whatever) while the system executed the appropriate inertial positioning response. We ended up doing digital Kalman filtering with fuzzy logic actuation. 3) I play with neural circuit simulation on and off again... but timesink.

A friend from Sweden asked me about when something would start and that she is in time zone GMT+2
Well in the midst of it all I got VERY confused: You see I have the forums time set to +1 gmt, I myself live in the Netherlands and the +1 gmt time zone corresponds correctly with my current time.. Sweden is in the same zone as mine my friend said she was +2 GMT.. I checked online I see Netherlands and Sweden is in +1 timezone.. I check here: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/tim...e-netherlands/ and it says +2 gmt.. I check wiki and I only get more confused Just want to clear this up.. is Sweden timezone splitted? |

As for the confusion over what the forum time is set to then it may be because... You have "timezone" set to "GMT+1" (as you say) Quote:

1. Ride a bike? 2. Climb a Jacob's Ladder? 3. Climb a 6 meter rope using only the looping method? 4. Complete a song on DDR that has at least 7 footer, and over 150bpm? 5. Play "Flight of the bumblebee" on the piano? I know of someone with acute ASD who can perform all of the above. ASD is classified as somebody who is physically clumsy but can easily find their way out of complex issues. USUALLY people with ASD come with high-functioning autism. Being a skeptic to certain psychological disorders, I believe that it is through disbelief that a sufferer can overcome his limitations. I am supposed to be a dyslexic and an ADD, but I speed-read and spell, just that I am not so good at picking up verbal speech. I laughed when the psychiatrist told me about my limitations and told him to go fly a kite.

self diagnosis on the internet is such an easy thing because you never know the dept of symptoms. I wouldn't say that I am very social and I get very nervous in front of crowds but that does not mean I have a disorder. If you want to be certain that you have something stop looking around online and go see a doctor about it |

What I was told about people with ADHD is that they have "short gaps" in their brains, and electric currents pass through these lower resistance gaps and thus certain areas of the brain, thus the "talk and do without thinking effect". It is not that we are lazy or inattentive, but rather we think faster and forget faster. Like any other person with learning or neuro-disorders, or even the rest of society, we are no different because every single human being have their own flaws. As for the social issue, don't worry too much about it. It is what "normal people" perceive you as, but on the micro-social level with your friends, they think you are normal because they are used to who you are. P.S Sometimes I envy people with ASD. They can speak so calmly and in proper sentences, though the calm part gets annoying sometimes when they are trying to make split-second decisions.

Does this game has a thread here in the gaming section?
If so, you may want to check there and see if anyone has had a similar problem running the game. Maybe someone in Tech Support could help you too. You can always try and reinstall the game, though.

As of 5 minutes just now I pieced together an End World Theory of Events (as supported by Web Bot) :
The end of the world is slated to be in 2012. Due to a certain chronological fault in multiple types of time measurement over the past millennium (Gregorian and Julian Calendars), our current state of time should be 2007. If there is no fault in the time, it should happen like this - - According to the Elliot Wave Principle of the Grand Supercycle and the predicted 21/10/2012, the supposed collapse of civilisation, could be triggered by the devaluation of the USD, which is previously weakened by the subprime crisis. Since the crisis has now shifted to Euro, the liquidity of the forex market, a large dent in the Euro can demotivate the USD, leading to a dual-line sellout in both currencies. - As USD is the most heavily traded currency in the world, it directly influences the entire world economy, as shown in the 2008 financial meltdown that made many people at Wall Street resort to trading ice-cream sticks for a living (pun unintended). - This could lead to the great deflation due to the large amount of money in the market (resulting in the devaluation of goods). The market automatically adjusts with the reference to the amount of currency in the market, resulting in a hyperinflation. - Since a currency doesn't become worthless instantly, it will take a period of shrink time like a supernova before becoming small. Probably around 5 years to 7 years since USD is a "standard" credit around the world which many things are valuated against. - The rest you know - market panic -> consumer (practically the entire world population) panic -> civil unrest -> blah blah blah. So in Web Bot terms, the end of the world will be caused by our own irrationality and stupidity, not the banks or financial systems or buyouts or anything. All of the above came from market data. Any disputes other than - 1. Irrelevance of historical market data on world economy. 2. Illogical assumptions of using Fibonacci numbers as limits. 3. Lack of real qualifications to make such judgments?
