We're working on that technology!

I realise this denies the fourth wall, but if you look at the No Tips for Alliance Scum strip which someone linked earlier, in the news post Jeph says he originally intended the gag for Marigold and Sven but he prefers drawing Dale. So back when he started this whole storyline, he didn't realise there was a storyline. That explains why Dale's initial character doesn't wholly fit with his current character.

I'm totally socially awkward with "new" people. I need to get use to people to open up. So, I'm not trying to pick on you MDBS, this is just food for thought:

--- End quote ---
So you consider "The Bills" a neutral subject for talking to women about? Have you considered that (certainly not all, but) many women might not want to talk about a sports team?

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 14 Aug 2013, 11:04 ---AIs are copyable. Pintsize got backed up to Marten's desktop computer at one point and continued conversing in a Pintsize-like way.
--- End quote ---
Now that just makes things complicated. Do robots have souls? Do robot BACKUPS have souls? If Marten deletes the backup is it murder? Do robots cry robot tears in the recycle bin?
--- End quote ---
Depends on how the AIs view themselves. If they consider the backups as being just that, backups and thus expendable, then I doubt they would consider the backups as having souls or deleting of such as murder (provided the original still existed). They may even consider their "soul" as something a little different than conventional thinking, perhaps more like their "state of being" (words are failing me there...). Also, backups would most likely be in a state of "suspended animation" as they're not actively running and thus be unaware of their current situation... so wouldn't be able to cry tears in the recycling bin. ;)
Oh, and hi everyone.

--- Quote from: Somebody on 14 Aug 2013, 05:36 ---Does this feel like we missed a strip with Dale getting entry to her room and trying to calm her down to apologise, after the way she reacted to him being in her flat, to anyone else? Not to mention entering her bedroom after being told to get out at all!

--- Quote from: ankhtahr on 14 Aug 2013, 01:59 ---Maybe it was more like a "*knock knock* 'May I come in? I wanna apologise.'"

My interpretation when Jeph leaves something like this out is that it's usually because either:
1) He didn't think making up a joke about the scene that was good enough to justify spending a strip (or a panel) on it would be worth the time/effort
or
2) He's got pacing reasons to shortcut some of the chitchat because there's something more important coming that he wants to end the week on (the feels coming up on Friday)
