    Actually, being a computer, it would be smart enough to interpret the general consensus of postings at CP and not even ask a question. It would simply skim the articles and grab only the snippets that it needs, leaving no footprints behind. In essence, the program would become the perfect CP user.

      It's already doing better than that. Have a look around the C++ forum here. You'll quickly see the signs of a tireless machine, methodically learning C++* by asking questions, collecting responses, asking follow-up questions, etc. etc. It is a horrifyingly beautiful sight. *yes, of course it's learning C++. True evil is always written in C++. The Necronomicon was written in C++ and titled "delete this;"

              that's nothing... at least push the 8 mark... you have to get ever so close to that 1gram per hour "danger mark..." it's called Xtreme Coffee Drinking. ;P Actually, 1 gram per hour is really considered the danger mark, the danger of a heart attack goes up significantly, although it does all the way up to the gram mark, above the gram mark is the medical line someone drew in the sand. The avid coffee drinker might be able to handle it... or the non-coffee drinker may have problems before then. Most non-caffeine drinkers start seeing a yellow tint to the world at around .5gram -- I have never experienced it, but have had it described to me by many people who tried to compete against me drinking espresso. :-D

                      By 2011, the program will be able to rebuild itself with the latest .net libraries. All he needs to start is to teach the program the .Net framework *in it's entirety*, and give it the ability to observe human/computer interaction. After a month or so, the program should be able to take control of at least the computer it's on and the local network, and should be able to google for code snippets to find out how to do stuff in code.

                        I believe he'll run into a bit of a problem here to be able to deliver by 2011, a catch-22 if you will. To meet such an aggressive deadline he'll have to troll CP forums and will be using the classic URGENT - PLZ HELP or some such plea and when he does he will get chastised and he won't be able to make his deadline! So how will he adapt to this situation....we'll see? Mike :)

                              True story: My sophomore year of college I stayed up all night cramming for a physics test. Before this I didn't hardly ever drink coffee. I drank a whole 10 cups in about 6 hours. Two hours after that I began to have side-effects. I began shaking pretty badly, then passed out while walking down the stairs from my dorm room. Luckily my test wasn't until that afternoon so I didn't miss it. I haven't touched coffee since.

                                    ...probably not. And we also know that as soon as it tries to take over other machines it'll be nothing but driver headaches and incompatible hardware.

                                      Nothing to fear, from the source code it appears like another Eliza wrapper for .NET.

                                        ...of course! After all, the Mac is so compatible, it even works with alien starships. Sheesh! Iain.

                                        Iain Clarke appears because CPallini still cares.

                                          ah - my all time favourite scene of any computer related scene in a movie. 'Uploading Virus...' So good because it was so bad.
