Too Hot!!!
by Spdrcr7719 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This really is a blast. With all these movies coming out about virtual reality, it's amazing to actually have a virtual reality program like this for your own computer. The Virtual Girlfriend and Virtual Boyfriend are artificial intelligence programs for your IBM PC or compatible and also for MACINTOSH. You can watch them, talk to them, ask them questions, tell them secrets, and relate with them. Watch them as you ask them to take off different clothes and guide them through many different activities. Watch and participate in the hottest sexual activities available on computer, including: several sexual positions, using many unique toys, even bringing in multiple partners. This is no doubt one of the most realistic, sexually stimulating computer games available. They will remember your name, birthday, your likes and your dislikes. Every time you start the program, they say different things, and act differently. Each time, they have a different personality. With the VGA digital graphics, the Virtual Girlfriend and Virtual Boyfriend software have some of the hottest, sexiest graphics out there. You can actually hear their voice as they talk to you. This is the first adult software title that was designed for both heterosexual and homosexual people. We would like you to try the actual full copy out before it is put on the market this spring. It will be sold for 1/7 of the actual price (only $7.95) until we can get back some information on what people think of the program before it hits the stores. Please give it a try and write back any comments. Thank you. Virtual Girlfriend and Virtual Boyfriend are artificial intelligence programs, meaning they are completely interactive. It would be just like if you were talking to someone. You can actually have simple conversations. Their attitudes change with the different things you say, so you can say things that will upset them, and then say things that will please them. The more you play/talk with them, the more you learn what they can do, and what they like to do. It's easy to install and instructions are easy to follow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Special Offer~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Get two more new and exciting adult games for an additional $13.45* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here are two of the best adult games ever!! This is to inform you about the new adult game that VCS Magazine rated "The best game of "97" and gave an "Outstanding ****" (4 stars). "The Search for Paradise is no doubt one of the greatest XXX adult games available". The first game where it is as much fun as it is a turn on! Travel the world to every continent, every country you can think of, and meet some of the most beautiful women in existence. These women will treat you like a king and obey your every command. Any sexual wish you can think of, these women know it all. There is a certain paradise for every guy out there, and this game will have them all. This game uses real models, digital video, and digital sound to make it as realistic as possible. You will feel like you're in the same room as the girl you're talking to!!! The last adult game we are going to inform you about is the newly released "Club Celebrity X". Imagine being in a club with some very beautiful, well known, ACTUAL celebrities that with skill, will be making you breakfast in bed the next day. These girls you have seen on television, magazines, and billboard ads, and now they are on your computer, begging for action. Each girl you will recognize and you won't believe your eyes when you got them in your own bedroom. This game is hot, and once you start playing, you won't be able to stop. ****************************************************************************** ********** (((((((((LIMITED TIME ONLY)))))))) T00 H0T!! for Virtual girlfriend.... These were too sexually graphic to include in VG and VB. These are some of most arousing & attractive models ever put in one collection.

Offhand, there are many ways to "pad out" ciphertext so as to make it more compressible by standard compression algorithms. -- duplicate every character several times, right after it first appears. This clearly lets a compressor find "compression patterns." True, it looks pretty obvious to a human eyeball, but it shows the theme. -- insert sonnets from Shakespear. Same as above. -- generally, lower the entropy by duplication, insertion, lengthening. >> There have been hundreds of articles and comments here and on other mailing >> lists about this.

How does TCM expect the >newcomers to learn, if no one will share their accumulated knowledge? That >is the reason I signed up for this list - to _learn_. Not a "no amateurs allowed." Not at all. Just an obvious comment that one cannot expect those of us who've been on the list for years to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite the same essays. Search engines will turn up much discussion. If newcomers are too lazy to read Schneier, to read the FAQs, to read some of the many thousands of articles so conveniently accessible with search engines, I have no sympathy for them. --Tim May Just Say No to "Big Brother Inside" ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
