Oh, I see. Now what's a bot? Why do people have a love/hate attitude towards bots? Can I make a bot?

Undernet IRC FAQ [Part I] (updated 1st June 1996)
The term "bot" is short for "robot". You can often come across these on IRC. A bot is a detached irc process which simulates another irc client. Some bots serve as repositories for files, or useful data, or conduct games. Dumb bots only do mode changes. Harmful bots fork clone copies of themselves or flood the irc network with garbage (clonebots/floodbots). These are almost universally hated. Most bots on IRC are a nuisance, even though their owners find their invention "cool".

Why do some people hate acrylic jewelry so much? What's Amy's take on it?

Frequently Asked Questions
It's porous, which means it holds bacteria; it can't be autoclaved, which means it can't be sterilized; aaaaaaaaand it gives off toxic gas. Add to that the ease with which it breaks and you've got yourself the reason some people hate it. Amy doesn't mind it in a healed piercing, as long as the person using it knows the potential problems. It is your body and we will not tell you no. . .generally.

Do you REALLY hate love?

meish dot org & Anti VD Cards - FAQ
No, you’re missing the point. I’m not anti-love or anti-romance or anti-relationships. I’m against hollow gestures prescribed by people who are out to make money out of the holiday. We’re against constant reminders that COUPLE=NORMAL and that anyone who isn’t in a relationship (or doesn’t want to be) is WEIRD and anyone who IS in a relationship but isn’t married is a FREAK and anyone who is married but hasn’t spawned is just plain STRANGE.

What does the Bible say our attitude should be toward people in need?

Frequently Asked Questions--Christian Living
The Bible states that we should help family members and other Christians (spiritual brothers) in need. They must be in need—we do not have to help lazy people. (See Ephesians 4:28 and 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12.) Most beggars (and some family members and Christians) are lazy and should be ignored for their own good. Of course, if you want to help them anyway, you should—as a matter of conscience. (Romans 14:1-15.6 discusses matters of conscience.

What can I tell people who hate homosexuals?

FAQ on Being Gay and Frum
Most often feelings of hate are based on ignorance, misunderstanding, and fear of the unknown. And it may not be so much "hate" as disapproval of certain conduct. Attitudes often change with education, and after meeting gay people and understanding halacha, most people will accept the fact that a person is gay. It may also help to remind them that Hillel said: Ve-al tadin et chavercha ad she-tagia li-mkomo (Pirke Avos 2:5) (Do not judge your fellow until you are in his place.

MC -- I think she looks at these things ? at most things ? very dispassionately. The thing about Karima is that when she thinks, she's thinking with the sentinel parts of herself as well as with her human brain. There's a scary elision of identity there, which I'd imagine makes it difficult for her to define what she is and where her true self begins and ends. MC -- An X-Woman? Good question, and if I had to give a one-word answer I'd say no.

What are Bots?

Horses - Frequently Asked Questions
The botfly or Gasterophilus lays its eggs on the forelimbs, chest and head regions of horses between May and October, they can be seen as small yellow dots in the horse's coat. Horses find them particularly annoying and this causes them to lick and bite themselves. This action stimulates the eggs to hatch and the larvae then burrow into the mucous membranes of lips, gums, cheeks and tongue of the horse.

Bestselling Romance Novelist, Jennifer Blake : FAQ
I love the music of the words in my head and the development of the people and places I see in my mind as they appear on paper. I hate revising my work--since it's like reading and rereading the same book over and over while I have other stories in my head that I'm yearning to capture before they get away. My first twelve books were written in virtual isolation, with little contact with New York except through my agent and only sporadic contact with other writers.

I was thinking this morning about love and hate, I mean why do we love or hate?

I think hate is like a stop-loss which when hit makes us feel the heat and back up from what is harmful, while love is like a position that moved in our favor, the whole thing can be a survival mechanism. Yet in some cases we favor not to experience hate so the love we had turns to "Hope" and we do the wrong thing by holding onto the subject regardless of the change in the situation.

What is the right attitude to have?

HADD - FAmily Support Group - ADHD and ADD
Inevitably, there will be times when your child behaves badly, does things wrong, forgets things and drives you to despair. It will be less stressful if you don’t get too worked up. Be proactive not reactive (in other words, try to think ahead and give advice, rather than wait until things go wrong). Remember, it’s the poor behaviour you dislike, not your child. You may find certain things always cause problems. Maybe your child creates havoc when you go shopping after school.
