Just don't ask a cop for the truth, natch. Cop: "Do I smell drugs in your car?" Motorist: "No drugs officer. Honest." Cop (after searching the car in vain): "How about that Xbox? Is that yours?" Motorist: "Yes, sir." Cop: "I don't believe you. I'm going to take it and check if it's been reported stolen." Motorist: "But I..." Cop: "Just come to the station later on and if it's clean, you'll get it back." ...

微软翻译团队推出了一个MSN翻译机器人TBot，只要添加mtbot@hotmail.com为联系人，发送要翻译的内容，即可得到翻译的结果。 和我们前面介绍的Gtalk提供的翻译机器人相比，两者支持的语言种类不相上下，但是如果要翻译多种语言的话，使用gtalk的服务则需要添加多个机器人，微软的服务虽然全部一个机器人解决问题，但是需要多次地发命令更换原语言和目标语言，所以在操作方面两者孰优孰劣，无法论定，全凭个人习惯。但是在互译方面，微软Live Messenger 翻译机器人支持更多的两两互译，理论上是66种，比google提供的30多个互译要多，所以微软翻译机器人更胜一筹。 下面简单介绍一下： 添加mtbot@hotmail.com为联系人； 初次随便发送要翻译的文字给机器人，机器人会以12种语言返回这样的命令，“如果您会说简体中文， 请键入11”； 然后选择目标语言，以后机器人会以这一组语言进行翻译，如果需要更换，则需要发命令更换，命令： 1 TBot lang - 显示目前的这对语言 2 TBot change - 选择所要翻译的一对语言 3 TBot stop - 停止翻译 4 TBot start - 再次启动翻译 5 TBot set - 设置你偏好的语言 6 TBot ? - 显示这命令列表。 支持语言种类： 德语、意大利语、日语、 朝鲜语、 法语、 简体中文、 繁体中文、 英语、 荷兰语、 葡萄牙语、 西班牙语、 阿拉伯语； © 2007 thws.cn| 订阅 | Subscibe ) Tags: bot, IM, MSN, tools, translator Related posts twittd—提供twitter用5大主流IM机器人 (11) Gtalk推出多国语言互译bot (2) xpenser—在线个人理财工具 (4) retweet—实用twitter bot收集 (1) rasasa ...

After one spectacular failure, the $700 billion financial industry bailout finds a second life Wednesday, winning lopsided passage in the Senate and gaining ground in the House, where opposition from Republicans softens. Wired.com

As I already mentioned in my Windows Live Translators post, the new Windows Live Messenger Translation Bot (Tbot) has mtbot@hotmail.com as its Messenger addy. If you still have the prototype, mtbot-en_us@hotma..., on your list it’s time to say goodbye to that one. It will no longer accept translations and will forward you to Tbot, if you catch it online at all that is! In a week's time it will be switched off forever as Helvecio ...

Filed under: Cellphones Reuters Italia is reporting that the 3G iPhone will be announced by the Italian carrier TIM (and presumably the rest of Europe) on Monday. Better yet, Reuters' source within TIM says that the 3G iPhone will be available immediately, Tuesday at the latest. Perhaps, but it's been awhile since Apple did an announce-and-launch on the same day. And quietly distributing 3 million or so iPhones around the world even with Apple's stealth ...

Filed under: Internet Tools, iPhoneHere's one for you globetrotting iPhone fans out there.
