Hello Singles! Hello all! And happy Veteran's Day! God bless the troops.

LOL my first time starting this thread so it may be amaturish at best until I get the...

...hang of it.

[ozarkgirl]

You are wrong, fiend. I think you could probably bench press me. My wrists are so thin

I still say you could bench press more than me. However, mine is not just a skill of strength but of wits as well. Survival, you have more strengh but I am more knowledgeable. Oh sorry, I win. I managed to survive, you relied on brute strength and skinny wrists.

[DollyCali]

a hamster could bench press more than I can!

anyone w/time interest, come visit my vet day/hollywood star thread....OVER HERE

[Paul_Denton]

Very cool! Alexandra here can take control of entire warships (actually groups of them). Even if they are uncrewed and does that in parts of my story. She was initially created for cyber-warfare but she evolved way beyond that.

[Paul_Denton]

What is bench pressing?

[Nowhere Man]

Yes. he is about 1000 times smarter than HAL. He can read minds, predict actions, and see through lead, steel, concrete, and titanium. He has something that I invented(in my mind) called HMS memory and storage. This stands for "holographic matrix synthesis", and is not TOO far from reality. I just had the mane come into my head, a couple of years ago, when i was writing it.

Dang, I think he could even give Damocles (the sentient, AI computer in many Morrow Project games) a run for his money. About HMS storage, I seem to picture the crystals HAL had in 2001 as they were being popped out as HAL gets dumber and dumber as a result.

He DOES have one tiny weakness, though.........

Let me guess. "Dave, put those Windows discs down, Dave.... No! DAVE!!! Don't put Windows 98 in my drives!" B-) Then the computer crashes, the curse of Bill Gates strikes again. B-D

[ozarkgirl]

Any of the singles here ex/current military? I am former Navy

I'm glad you brought up Veteran's Day!! I went to a store today (Bass Pro), I was amazed, tons of guys in uniform! There were four guys outside spontaneously singing acapella! But when I went in, I was amazed. Of course, you would feel silly but I wanted to go around shaking their hands and saying thank you. Not sure what brought them, I heard we had a Veteran's Day thank you here in Springfield.

[Eva]

We are building a house on fifteen acres next to a state wild life area, where hunting is permitted, actually it's permitted on any open area that isn't posted in our county. This morning I was out at the house at 7:30, forgetting it was Veterans Day, when I heard dogs and shots being fired on three sides of the property. I just put the puppy back in his kennel and went back to the rental.

[ozarkgirl]

It's aggressive flirting. Ozarkgirl is just the kind of lady who needs that.

Say what??? I am very much a lady, thank you! Yep, I have been forced to hold my own but I'd really rather not fight a man.

[Fintan]

 

Okay ladies...which one of you lucky gals wants to take me home for a night of cuddlin' 'n spoonin'????

 

[Nowhere Man]

Mine is a one-of-a-kind unit that uses an optical neural net whch mimicks the human brain. She can hack into networks and security systems and stuff like that or take control of things like warships or fighters and whatnot. Other than knowledge of traitors conspiring with the enemy I do not really know what to use her for lol. She is not a droid.

Hmmm, I've heard of neura nets being used since the 1980's and I remember I read one book when I was in junior high where scientists proposed growing brain cells into a neural network and this had been done on a small scale. The date of the book was 1965 where they tried a 20 cell network. For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the book or heard of it since. Would be a good start to base Damocles on.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Don't giggle at me, boy. She has you bested on brains and I've you on brawn.

Have some respect.

BTW, I like your cartoons, mostly.

[ozarkgirl]

Raises hand. I know! I know!

I trust that you do (way to GO GIRL!) But let's let the boys in the class answer.

[Paul_Denton]

Is HMS storage the same thing as optical neural nets?

[Rca2000]

So does mine.Omni-One has access to any and all information from the planet. He bases his operation template,or Master program, on the human mind(in this case, Dr. Assid, the lead terrorist). With a head gear unit, Omni-One copies his brain patterns, and this is what gives him the ability to know how, and what, people think, and what they will do, before they act on those thoughts.

[pcottraux]

I didn't say you could benchpress more than me, I said you could benchpress ME. I've never benchpressed before. It looks like a useless activity.

"Oh sorry, I win. I managed to survive, you relied on brute strength and skinny wrists."

Oh, whatever! Shows how much you know. You forgot my secret strength is neither strength nor wits...it is Alfred the chicken god!! That's right, while you were busy "surviving" with your silly wits and brute strenght, I was running circles around a tree barking like a dog!!

You see, it is part of my strategy. I perform the ancient secret and mystical dance of Alfred...first I run around in circles...around a tree, mind you...barking. Then I hit my head on the tree. Several times, until I've gotten it just right.

Oh, but I'm not done yet. No...then I find a loose branch lying on the ground in a certain position and jump up and down on it like a trampoline!! I do this while reciting the entire works of F. Scott Fitzgerald backwards!! After taking off my shirt and rubbing tree sap in my hair, I then procede to yodel like there's no tomorrow!!

Eventually, in a blue ghostly form, Alfred the chicken god will materialize wherever you are, turn his back end towards you, and launch eggs in your general direction. You don't stand a chance. You are beaten. BEATEN!!!!!!!!

Then, after thanking Alfred for the victory, I kill him and eat him, not because I'm hungry, but because...man, I like chicken.

I WINNNNNN!!!!!! I WWWWIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! WWWIIIINNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!

[Paul_Denton]

Mine uses trillions of tiny crystals that act as the 'neurons' and are connected by nano-scale fiber optics. All encased inside of a special solution that allows more crystals and connections to grow as the AI develops.

[ozarkgirl]

I loved the President's conference, but am worried about how it will be portrayed by the MSM.

Why? I wasn't able to see it. Of course I'm always worried about how it has been portrayed in the MSM. You can't please all of the people all of the time. I think GW is a person of great character but may not have the skills to portray that.

[Paul_Denton]

Very cool! :)

[pcottraux]

"She has you bested on brains and I've you on brawn. Have some respect."

But, my friend....ah, never mind. I don't feel like typing that much again.

Oh, and thanks about the toons. Did you see tonight's?

[Paul_Denton]

If that was to make fun of me, it sure as heck did not work.
