Hmm, well, a friend of Myrddin Fyres here. Uh. I "borrowed" all her OSC books and then realized this forum was OSC related and decided to join or something. So hello! And now I shall get on with lurking... ::disappears:: <_<

Hey, you posted! I can finally say I know someone OUTSIDE of the 'rack first. That should count for something, eh?

fugu, not a chance, no, never, i am definitely not a big geek. :-D nice catch
Noemon, fugu already caught my big secret. Amazingly enough I think I am the one CS major who hadn't read Ender's Game. A major oversight on my part, it has been remedied thanks to Myr. Oh, and I like longs walks on the beach and candle ... uhm , wrong forum, sorry.
Myr, free cookie maybe?
Jeesh, thanks! Good to be here, I just hope my mouse button can handle all the reload clicking... you guys are fast!

Tatiana, thanks! Good to hear that, I was a little worried letting you guys know that I knew her at first ;-) ((I am so going to get punched for that))
Kwea, I would imagine so :-D
The Pixiest, will anyone ever know? ;-)

They're not for you. They're for the new person. Geez, are you trying to take away my welcoming gift?

SteveRogers: YES, Oh how I would devour Chili Cheese Fries at this moment. They would go quite fantastically with the Denny's mini cheese burgers and heartland scramble I just consumed. (Hence the delay in accepting your gift).
Bob: Pretty rad (meeting Alan Turing)!
Ela: Awesome, uh, I would return your wave in animated fashion but not knowing how (yet), I will simply describe how I would do it if I knew how ((I probably could have figured it out by now (there's no going back (nesting parens? I should be asleep)))), so good to meet you too!
peterh: Had I a hat, I would tip it back.
Dr. Strangelove: Solipsism eh? I once tried to argue to my philosophy professor that Solipsism was really a universal love type of thought, since in essence you argue that we are all one person and everything is unified... He didn't buy it.
Boris: Not knowing what dobies are, I guess I'd go with the million tickles.

Tante: I appreciate your appreciation of my paranoia ;-) Public displays of information weird me out (google knows all). Glad to be aboard.

Bob, I did finally get your joke, I felt silly for not getting it the first time.
Tatiana, not entirely. I have the book, but I've never made it directly though, I've delved into bits and pieces at different times. Some really fascinating stuff in it! What about you?

Alan Turing is famous for (among other things) describing what has become known as "the Turing test." Basically, his insight was that if a native speaker of a language, interacting with an unknown entity (we've secretly switched your normal customer service rep with a computer) can't tell whether he or she is talking to a person or a computer, then the computer has reached a level of artificial sentience that is is as close to the real thing as we could.
His test was devised for typed interactions, btw, but the idea goes forward from there to the idea that our criterion of "success" in AI would be that people couldn't tell if they were interacting with a computer or a person, as long as they couldn't touch/see/probe whoever is talking to them.
So...
I might have met Alan Turing...then again...

Yeah, I really did! It brought a smile and a chuckle to me. In fact, it brings a smile and a chuckle to me now. . So yes, your humor is appreciated.

Bob, you're funnier when you're not funny than you are when you're funny, if that makes any sense!

I dislike having to explain jokes. Especially math jokes. The few that I do tell are so grueling to explain.

Explain the chilli cheese fries, Steve, if you consider that a joke. It's ... odd, but at the same time mildly amusing. However, I don't understand it at all. No suprise there, but since the subject has been broached...
