Boredom is a difficult enemy to defeat for both man and machine, isn't it? Fortunately, there is an easy solution to that problem, if you are willing to help.

Would you like to play a game?

Nothing like risking your material stability to cure a little boredom!

sod_off_spark April 21 2009, 20:42:16 UTC

Trust me, I am bored out of my non-existent skull right now.

Send a drone or two on over then! Putting together a tesseract machine is guaranteed to be a surprise a minute!

sod_off_spark April 21 2009, 20:55:57 UTC

You have my interest. I've got a few other things than just the drones that might be of help, if you don't mind my sending them over.

What kind of game could we play?

sod_off_spark April 21 2009, 21:57:24 UTC

[I am going with yes on that, because it makes things more interesting.]

Different kinds. I can play boardgames like checkers, if you would like that, or a card game. Those are easy. Playing jumprope on the other hand would be something I can't do.

Who are you?

sod_off_spark April 21 2009, 21:09:07 UTC

Sorry about the lack of introductions. My name is Cortana. I'm an camper, and I live partly inside the network.

stickynoteninja April 21 2009, 21:35:28 UTC

Inside the network? How ya manage that, Cortana?

sod_off_spark April 21 2009, 21:42:36 UTC

Well, being an AI helps a lot.

[Talking laptop. Okay.]

Any game?

sod_off_spark April 21 2009, 21:32:22 UTC

Within reason. I obviously cannot play lacrosse.

clericchronicle April 21 2009, 21:37:09 UTC

Well, then... Fight me!

Not much to do, at least for the first round.

[voices in my head]

Any suggestions?

sod_off_spark April 21 2009, 21:50:29 UTC

Well. We could encrypt files and send them to each other and see who can crack the other's first. No one-time pads, or other 'unbreakable' methods. Just a little cryptanalysis.

jstalovemachine April 22 2009, 00:49:05 UTC

Think you'd have me beat in that pretty quickly. My encryption software isn't anything particularly special.

sod_off_spark April 22 2009, 00:56:17 UTC

I would have thought that Mister National Database would have a few tricks.
