If that's true, why don't we already have programs that can make sense of human questions like this in text form?

The computer from Star Trek was indeed not so quick to answer, but they'd often ask it to run simulations that would bog down all of today's supercomputers and and give the results, so it's certainly more advanced even if it has a lower interface speed setting.

This one weird trick protects government systems from malware! How does it work? The developers don't want you to know!

Sounds a lot like AppArmor.

Dr. Cox would call the side effect a major case of "deadness."

That's what happens when you get DICED.

Should I click this link? Could be a clever way to goatse people...or have I become paranoid?
