Hi, More cryptic messages - this time in a conversational format. Again, these are meant to expose some features on the Apex: Scene 1: Apex has just won a speech competition. I'm currently interviewing this Apex for a possible spot at a linguistics college. Me: hey my Apex, which person could you impersonate while reading text? Apex: Well, I can impersonate many historical figures like King Louis XIV of France, some Spanish warriors and even some tenors in Italian operas. Me: Hmmm, anyone else? Apex: Er, perhaps some musicians from Germany, some Englishmen and kings from Korea. Me; Ah, I see. So I take it that you speak all these languages and canimpersonate them? Apex: Sure. But my makers didn't teach me Korean yet, but I hope to learn it really fast. Me: Really? How? Apex: Well, you know that I have several file friends who can teach me Korean in an instant, right? Me: Of course... Hope to see you teaching me Korean soon... So how do I activate your skills? Apex: well, it's in a menu somewhere. (Hint: This conversation refers to a teaser I've sent around mid-May).
Scene 2: Dissatisfied with its music, I'm arguing with an Apex to possibly change something crucial to force it to play new music. Apex: Hey, don't do this to me! I'm happy with what I play in front of you, all right? Me: Oh no you don't. I'll make sure to force you to play something different when you say, "I'm ready to start over." Apex: Why? Is it because you don't like my music? Me: No. I just want to see you emulating a computer. Apex: Oh yeah? Do you know my file names and where I store my music? Me: Yes, I do, you evil piece of silicon! Apex (smiles broadly): You know what... Since you found out my secrets, I'll make sure that your project will be undone! (hint: relates to a well known hack that only select users know). I know some of you may recognize these "features"... Try figuring these out - perhaps I'll add you as an editor on my PBWorks page. (smile). Cheers, Joseph ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a copy to the list as well.
