Sospechosos Habituales

Hace mucho tiempo en la inhóspita blogosfera una panda de frikis creó Sospechosos Habituales. Desde aquel fatídico día nadie está libre de sospecha. No trates de disimular, si vienes mucho por aquí tu también serás un... Sospechoso Habitual


Haciendo el Friki con el Messenger


Hoy ZonerZ (un saludo!) me ha "obligado" ha hacer una de las cosas más frikis que he hecho en mi vida: Hablar con una enciclopedia Encarta a través del Messenger.

Si, como lo leéis, he hablado con un bot* de la Enciclopedia Encarta de Microsoft a través del Messenger (de hecho lo tengo agregado). El programa en cuestión está alojado en un ordenador de la sede de Redmon de Microsoft y básicamente sirve para promocionar el servicio Encarta Online. La gracia del bicho reside en que le puedes preguntar cualquier cosa y te va respondiendo. Si se trata de información gráfica (puedes pedir mapas, etc...) te propone abrir una sesión de Encarta vía Messenger y te lo enseña por ahí.

Resulta gracioso hacer preguntas raras y como bot no está del todo mal.

Resumiendo es util si no quieres estar cada dos por tres entrando en Wikipedia o si te aburres y quieres hablar con algo (?). También tiene utilidades de calculadora.

Si queréis probar vosotros mismos tan solo tenéis que agregar encarta@conversagent.com a vuestro programa de mensagería (solamente lo he probado en el Messenger) y a disfrutar!

Aquí os dejo parte de mis conversaciones:

Encarta® Instant Answers dice:

Why don't you ask me something that's actually in Encarta? I am very good at math. If you have trouble with quadratic equations, I can help you with them. Type "solve x^2+3x=10" and I'll show you how to do it.
Papá Oso dice:
x^2+x=0
Encarta® Instant Answers dice:
Equation Solver:

Let's solve the quadratic equation:
x^2+x = 0
First we need to put the equation in the form:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
For this, we arrange the terms from the highest exponent to the lowest:
x^2+x = 0
We have:
a=1 b=1 c=0
We can now apply the quadratic formula:
x = ( -b ± √(b²-4ac) ) / 2a
We find two solutions:
x=0 or x=-1
