Can somebody take a peek at this circuit for me?

I wonder what it is now they've changed it's name.

Oops.
I apostrophe (French verb for 'heckle') myself before the apostrophe cop do.

Hey, we don't like furriners that use our language better than we do.

Excuse me...?

You're excused. What'd you do?

Merely lost the Revolutionary War. Out of pure spite, they packed up
all the U's they could find and went home. Luckily, we had a great
crop of native-grown Z's the next few years.

You're going to learn how to respond to a post one of these days.


Not at your hands, obviously.


You DO realise you are arguing with a sophisticated bot, don't you?

No, the DYSON program isn't that sophisticated yet. However, those
hackers are getting better. For those of you who don't know the history,
here is a short excerpt:

"The DYSON project was started in 1988 by a group of MIT graduate
students working at the famed Media Lab in Cambridge, Mass. It was an
offshoot of research done previously by Weizenbaum on contextual text
responses, in particular, the ELIZA project. The goal was to form an
interactive, long running 'personality', based on the literature of
the far right. It culled online sources posted in various usenet
groups into a lisp database using an advanced text-matching and
parsing algorithm, and attempted to tie them together into a
semi-rational ongoing narrative using template-based sentence and
paragraph construction. The output of this narrative generator was
then posted back to usenet, when triggered by certain key phrases.

"DYSON was considered quite successful for its time, and many of its
interlocutors actually appeared to be unaware of its true nature as a
mindless robot. The project was retired in 1995, but occasionally
appears to be run 'just for fun' by prior team members. Many of the
same project members have gone on to the far more advanced SEIM
project, which, while attempting to solve the same problem,
incorporates web-crawing technology into its textual database search
engine, and uses a far more elaborate interactive model. Another
similar, but less successful project, the PD project, takes its text
from transcripts of the Rush Limbaugh show. Its interactive model,
however, is considered far weaker than both the SEIM program, and the
much earlier DYSON program.

The name DYSON is a word play, being short for 'disinformation'."
