Alan Turing: the short, brilliant life and tragic death of an enigma (Gay twat)

[hobbit.]

Should homosexuals be allowed to become famous for reasons other than being stoned to death for being homosexual?

it was the cyanide that made your cock stand up, wasn't it?

i vote YES


is that it? did we sort stuff? has hypocrisy, bigotry and prejudice now been erased from the world?

*hopes so but doesn't expect so*

 

[hobbit.]

double post.

Ah meant to say, you should wear eye protection such as sturdy goggles when Mr Cock roosts on your head.

Many shirt lifters are.

i vote YES

Yes. But certain groups are excluded, such as bogus war heroes.

This is a coded thread, isn't it?

Nice Enigma joke, BTW.

In his famous article in 1950 Alan Turing proclaimed: "I believe that by the end of the century ... one will be able to speak of machines thinkingwithout expecting to be contradicted." Clearly the famous Turing got it wrong (Tom Melzer, G2, 18 June). And even if the Turing test had been passed, he would still have been wrong. The Turing test is the crudest of behavourism. In my lifetime Turing has gone from obscurity to awe-inspring icon, but this seems to be exaggerated. He certainly did good work on the notion of computability, though that was based on something much more fundamental called Godel's theorem. It doesn't seem to be true that he was the inventor of the computer, though again he did good work on early versions of programming computers. I can't comment on his contribution to breaking the German codes, since none of the accounts I've seen explain exactly how they did it. But I understand that it took them a long time, and that when they'd done it, Doenitz became suspicious and changed all the codes. It is perhaps time for a more balanced view of Turing.

Someone kindly explain the Alan Turing Google Doodle to me.

 

[Very_Bad_Man]

For a supposed straight dude you sure are preoccupied with homosexuality.

Someone kindly explain the Alan Turing Google Doodle to me.

If you leave it alone, it counts in binary from zero. Binary is a counting method with two digits, 0 and 1, instead of the ten digits we usually use. Instead of each column being a multiple of ten, it is a multiple of two. For example, the number 2 would be shown as 10, the number 4 would be shown as 100, the number 23 would be shown as 10111.

If you click on the Doodle, it starts presenting puzzles for you to solve, using a few simple operations that computers do. The circles at the bottom each represent an operation to be done in sequence, left to right, or otherwise if directed. Some can be changed. At the top right is the goal number. The ribbon center window is affected by the current operation.

Operations are:
0 = change to a 0
1 = change to a 1
<- and -> arrows = move the window along the ribbon
circle with smaller circles = go back to a previous operation, the number of spaces back being the number of smaller circles.
Box with arrow up or down and number inside = if the ribbon window equals the number in the box, then move to a different operation.

You select the changeable operations and click the start circle to see if it will create the goal number from the starting number. It steps through all the operations to the end, checks the result one digit at a time, and if you're successful, you get a Google letter. Do it six times, and you've completed it.

Sometimes you can set it up to perform operations in an endless loop. This is a problem that you want to avoid.

...I like Sudoku.

You did NOT just say that about German troop movements.

...

Also, stop being a dick who hates on dicks who like dicks.

It's unbecoming.

I was going to use Frank Gorshin but I figured it would a conundrum too far.
