I was just thinking this morning, if you have any children in the next decade or so, you shouldn't name them:
> Alexa
> Cortana
> Orenthal Kierkegard ("OK") Giugelle
> Siri
No hard examples of why or why not, just thinking out loud here...

Or Soapbox.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Really? Far worse is discussed in the Lounge with no one saying a word about Soapbox. I mention two words and you have to mention the soapbox. Interesting.

Error: cannot use "==" on types "System.Donald" and "System.Obama". "System.Donald" is a value type (to the 1800s) and "System.Obama" is a reference type (to the 21st century).

Works fine on my computer. Must be user error.

Obama is a surname, muppet.

Some people have surnames as first names and I've seen first names as surnames as well. Go figure.

Oddly enough we were in the shopping centre (mall) yesterday, and overheard a lady calling out "Alexa, come here", to a small child.

Had the girl purchased a doll house?[^]

Luckily you can rename the services instead.
So instead of Cortana or Alexa you can name them Harvey. Your wife will love that.
Not sure if that is possible with Siri though.

I have Alexa and a friend I talk to over Skype has Hey Google.
We try to provoke arguments between them.
But it is educational...just this morning I asked Alexa for the winning
6/49 Lottery numbers and she cited a quote from the Bible,
Luke 6:49

So, as we know Java Applets are a dead technology, right? (I'm wondering if some Java Applet dev out there is crying now.)
Well, my local Half-Price Bookstore must think that they've got a real find here, because they're listing it at $49.99.
I snapped a pic of the cover at the bookstore because I was so shocked:

You're not buying a book, but a piece of history. It's vintage.
