The cell is a 850MB hard drive circa Windows 95.

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.

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)

The joke flew over y'all guys heads.
Method of Madness:
I figured the joke was just that it was crowded.
Is it cold in here?:
She reminds me of Harriet rather than Faye.
Method of Madness:
I still have to remind myself that Harriet is Sweet Tits. I wonder if we'll get YB's real name this December.

Re: sociopathy and rehabilitation.
I still think May's actions were one of a new AI "puppy" right out of the creche. Now, when a puppy misbehaves, there are a couple of courses of action;
* Immediate corrective action - the traditional whack with a rolled-up newspaper. It has to be immediate, though, the attention
* Modeling (and rewarding) correct behaviour. Get them outside when they start to squat...
Obviously, I think that Dale's part of the "modeling good behaviour" part. With a puppy, the usual options are to have a person with them most of the time (and crating when they're alone), and putting them with a mature dog that models good behaviour. Dale's a combination of these two, a companion who can "turn her off" (crate her) when he can't watch her, and a model for proper human behaviour.
I wonder how he was chosen... I don't think the proposed "beta testers" for something like this should be randomly picked!
I mean, with her proclivities, what if someone like Bernie Madoff opted in? That wouldn't help at all.
Maybe the robot jailers use NSA data collected through Glasses...
