The methodology is flawed. You can convince 30% of humans that anything is true. This should be a double blind test. How many humans can convince an observer they are human?

Turing test is simply a crap: even an real human can pass it.

Turing test is not really a test for artificial intelligence, it's rather a test for human simulation which is far from intelligence.

Good idea. Start the butt kissing now so when they take over you can be their "assistant."
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Did you go there for dinner? 
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Hmmm, a donner for dinner? Not a bad idea, if I could find one here.

I assume you are referring to a Donner Kebab, I find them generally unpalatable except when drunk (Bacon like, food of the Heavens!)

Beer helps, and only beer. And a walk, through a cold wet English town from the pub back home.

Very well, very well indeed.
My fav was actually a shish kebab, and the firm did onions with mint, in fact it was damn good food. Really good infact. And the 'elephants foot' wasn't bad either.

Only tried a Shish when sober, drunk & pointy things tend to result in trip to casualty...

Well its taken off the pointy thing of course, my god, handing those out to drunken Brits at 1 am, that would be a disaster!

Drunken Brits at 1am don't need no pointy things we carry our own (in general!)

Upon the recommendation of harold aptroot I posted some pictures over at imgur. I wanted to get these out there for my father but I thought maybe some members of the community might like them also. These are some of the pictures I took yesterday at the Texas Folklife Festival in San Antonio. It's a yearly festival that celebrates the various cultural contributions that were made by the people that settled in this region. The caveat is that the pictures may take some time to download. There are 37 pictures total. Completely SFW but I cannot vouch for other shared pictures on the site. Note that I am an indifferent photographer at best but your comments are welcome.
Album is at: http://imgur.com/a/FzSXP[^]

Good pictures looks like a lot of fun.

Thanks Mike. It is a lot of fun. I was there for 5 hours and did not see everything there was to see. I am not sure that it is possible to see everything. 5 stages of entertainment all going at the same time. I missed the old west show because I was watching something else and got there just as the sheriff was doing some final cleanup. Oh well. I guess there is next year.

All this kind of thing is OK, but I find it a bit sad that you have to look to the past.
I would far rather look to the future, and the funny thing is, while all you lot are looking back, the bit you are looking back to has its eyes full set on the future.
