this is dumb

[mechguy]

It should be better.

I wonder, does it function as a dynamic search engine? Or has somebody programmed a chitload of data of which it statistically chooses the most appropriate answer from a bank?

Seem to recall a similar program back when we had a commodore 64 computer.

That's what...19 years ago?

[redlinepontiac]

aol instant messenger had the same thing.

there was a site where you could go to tell the 'bot' answer before hand, have some sucker ask a question and the bot would have the answer

[vailskier3]

you guys never used 'aim' before? smarterchild was the same thing

[TheOtherNick]

Yeah I remember that thing from middle school.

[redlinepontiac]
