That depends on the jurisdiction. A lot.
I'm impressed by the way Jeph manages to convey emotion in Dale's face so effectively, even when his eyes are hidden!

:psyduck: I don't know; what are we supposed to seem like? And by whom?

The cell is a 850MB hard drive circa Windows 95.
--- End quote ---
Actually, 850 MB would have been a huge drive back in Win95's day. Try more like 300 MB. That's what my wife's spiffy new Win95 computer came with, back in the day. You might have been able to get, say, 400 or 450 if you were willing to spend a lot more money, but 850 doesn't seem likely.
--- End quote ---
No, 850MB might not have been standard, but it was certainly not unusual at the time of Win95. My first PC came with a 850MB HD in late 1995. (For reference, I paid 20'000SEK for that computer, or $2500-$3000)
ZoeB:
I think it very likely indeed that AIs, like NIs, are grown, not manufactured.
Maybe the part of May's development labelled "ethics" needs work.
Maybe it's getting it.
The fact that she can a) Recognise a "good guy" when she sees one, b) Values that and c) Modifies her behaviour accordingly means that maybe it's working. There's a good base to work from.
No matter whether you're NI or AI.

Winslow switched Pintsize off once. http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=855 And he deserved it.
