Apparently, Cleverbot did evolve from ELIZA which dates back to the 70's.
Someone struck up a conversation between them:
Cleverbot vs ELIZA
You can see the similarity, even though ELIZA was much more limited.
There was a suggestion back then that ELIZA could be used as a therapist,
just to get the user to talk about things.
Something to do with Gnome (and possibly KDE) UI guidelines?

Geeks like consistent interfaces.

Could be...
Standard Menus
...like a terminal !!Geeks like consistent interfaces.
And of course there are more possibilities than that. Linux is much more heterogenous than OSX and MS.* It looks to me like Elyisa's sceenshot has a pull down in the window frame, which is the domain of the WM, and I promise they do not have a common protocol for stuff like that.
The XDG and EWMH standards include some basic things, but nobody has to implement all of it. I guess it would be nice, but it would be a lot of work for a lot of people.
* pro linux rant: I'd rather have all those choices, even if it means a little bit of babylon, than be stuck with something that wants to be all things to all people.

C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
Unfortunately, some of our interfaces are trying to move in that direction...I'd rather have all those choices, even if it means a little bit of babylon, than be stuck with something that wants to be all things to all people.

Because at the end of a normal working day, a drink, any drink, tastes great.
Seriously though. X is the best thing ever to come to Linux. It can be a royal pain sometimes. But the UI freedom it gave to Linux is one of the reasons I'm still hooked to that operating system. And this isn't off-topic. Cleverbot has some interesting things to say about Linux
User: Hello cleverbot.
Cleverbot: Hello human.
User: What do you think of Linux?
Cleverbot: I've never even heard of it.

Hmmm... I'm running Windows 7 and I can say that I had to explicitly disable the menu bar. I should note that I've been auto-updating Firefox since probably 3.0, so what was there probably remained.
