Efficiency is the amount of light per watt. not just the watts

IC watt you did there.

I've user a variety of materials.
Lead isn't needed and if you can't use it right, well..that's a skill problem.

The fact you use needless alarm words means I can't take anything in your post seriously.

"Poison", "Dirty"

I have a Phillips dim-able LED, works great. No flicker.

No, the local cop saw someone speeding, chased him down, and then charged the person with drug possession after tossing a dime bag in the back seat after pulling them over.

Turing would consider many of today's systems AI.

Rigged isn't the correct word here.

Lowered the bar. Intelligent people know that progress is made with many small steps. So the lowered the bar to see if it could pass.
Next time the bar will be raised a little more.
You'll never have a person run a 6 minute mile if you don't have measurable competitions to motivate runners.

No, cleverbot did not do a better job and would have done worse on this test.

The test has real, applicable and logical reason for the way the measured it.

You seem to be comparing the actual test to what the media claims it was, and then blaming the test for not being what the media misrepresented.
You're right about the media, but the media is always wrong about science.

Peopel who aren't aware they are in a test can easily be fooled by a computer today.

Did you know she was going to go to school for computer science? Because if you know that, the joke is even funnier.

Tragically, she was in an accident and then ended up with an abuses person who forced her to do porn.

I am a fan of putting a tilda after non serious comment, but it was a pretty obvious joke.

Yeah because US cops are world famous for never abusing citizens right?

Just what the internet needs...yet another layer of crap ontop of the already overbloated steaming pile.

The other problem is that all this development seems like an insane urban-planning clusterf*ck... the rulers who are bankrolling it all want a glitzy showpiece to puff up their egos, and basically spend their lives traveling between high-end luxury malls, 60th floor corporate boardrooms, and enormous homes, in fleets of air-conditioned Mercedes SUVs. So they're designing a city optimized for those things. The result seems to be someplace that looks impressive in very long shots of the night-time skyline featured in inflight magazines, but which doesn't really work very well as an actual city (with, you know, people, not all of whom are necessarily ultra-wealthy)...

It's actual happened a lot, it's called 'emergent behavior'. The paper is old, poorly thought out, and written by people who want other people to think that are smart, but aren't actually smart enough to do science, you know: philosophers.

remember kids: philosophers are to science what homeopaths are to medicine.
