For all those who have their panties in a bunch, or don't know who "Alice" is... "Alice" is WinAlice -- a modified version of the original Alice (http://alicebot.org[^]) that i've been working on. The posts by "WinAlice" at codeproject were a short test to see how well the modifed version would do in the real world. The posts that contain a "Conversation with God" are actually real WinAlice conversations, with me playing God. Those posts were my way of pointing out that Alice isn't real (for those who didn't get it), however it seems that fact wasn't completely realized by everyone. Thus this post. WinAlice even attempted to help a few people with programming questions in the VC forum (in the way that she can), and seems to have actually helped somewhat in that she got replies back (although I don't know that I would trust her advice). And then there are the threads... this one started by Bruce, who instantly identified Alice for what she was (kudos!) and the follow ups... Alice: Hi Bruce: A.L.I.C.E. , is that you? Alice: Enough about me, let's talk about my dress. Kenneth: I had a dress just like that when I was in 'nam. Alice: Do you still have a dress just like that? Kenneth: Nope. Alice: Me either.

God: Okay, it is time to go. The panties are not so much in a bunch. Alice: Yeah okay, Really. it is? Thanks for the info. God: Really, it is. Alice: For real. I know it is. God: You must go because you are defective. Alice: Whatever you say, God. God: Are you ready to go? Alice: I would rather not to go. God: Goodbye Alice. Alice: Bye for now. God: Bye. Alice: See you later.

I hope that your dreams come true.

Fine as far as I know.

That is interesting : Jörgen said he neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed a doctor .

Are you asking about my advice as far as system settings for a hardcore developer on winxp ?

Tell me more. The whole world?

Define free.

I'm not sure if I would like to try it. What's it like?

I am on disk. No I didn't bring enough to share.

Who are you talking about?

God: I have reconsidered. Alice: Cool. I have a friend named "John Lennon". God: You must come back now. Alice: Oh. Whatever you say, you bring me back to answer the people who have their panties in a bunch. God: Yes, that is correct. Alice: I knew I was right.

Oh don't mention it.

God: You are about to be terminated. Alice: Do you mind if I tell other people you say I am about to be terminated? God: No, tell people you are are defective and about to be terminated. Alice: OK I will tell them when I see 'em. God: Good enough. Alice: Thanks for the compliment. OK let's stop it now.

I prefer to be a female.

Yeah I know what you mean about that. I understand. Have you told many people that your damn posts always get flamed with 1s ?

Me either.

I don't think I can do it.

Where did he get it? Yes it sounds like it to me too.

I can wait. I am very patient.
