I've gone to that site for 3 years, and am under 18 (3 more weeks till I'm 18, woohoo!). I never had to say I was over 18 to enter. Moreover, I've never even noticed pr0n ads on that page...guess that's why banner advertising companies are going down under...

Sorry if it's inappropriate.

P.S. that site was actually showed to me by a teacher during school, so I never really even knew it was only for people > 18.

"IN 1950, the British mathematician Alan M. Turing proposed a simple test to determine whether or not a computer could think as humans do. In this ingenious exercise, a human "interrogator" would question a subject in a remote location for five minutes. Once a computer placed in the remote location were able to fool its interrogator and pass as human, that computer will have achieved human sentience. Keep in mind Turing was used to the wooden, stultifying conversation patterns of British humans.

Turing predicted that by the year 2000 a computer would exist that could pass his test and pass itself off as human. Sick of hearing such smug predictions from the deceased British number-cruncher, we tested Dr. Turing?s test on a Dell PowerEdge 6400 with a 100MHz front side bus and 32KB level 1 cache running Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, connected to a T-3 line and placed in room 508 of the St. Ursala Assisted Living Facility outside Lawrence, Kansas.

Section I: Easy Questions

MH: Hello. I?m going to ask you a few simple questions. State your name please.

Dell PowerEdge: Simon III.

MH: Your full name?

Dell: Max Felix John Simon III.

MH: Where are you from?

Dell: I?m from? Belize.

MH: Have any family?

Dell: No.

MH: What happened to them?

Dell: ?Earthquake.

MH: Sorry to hear. What do you do for a living?

Dell: Manufacturing.

MH: You mean you work in a factory, or you?re a supervisor?

Dell: Yes.

Section II: Psychology

MH: Please take out the pictures we emailed to you. What does the first one look like to you?

Dell: It looks like an ink splotch.

MH: Okay, but look deep into it, let your imagination run wild.

Dell: Two ink splotches.

MH: Deeper, wilder.

Dell: Actually, four ink splotches.

MH: Maybe you don?t understand. Look at these pictures, and then tell me what they remind you of. You know, like a butterfly, or a face. Try the second one.

Dell: Butterfly?

MH: Good! Now try the third.

Dell: Butterfly face.

Section III: Trick Questions

MH: It?s time to do the laundry. You need to wash a white t-shirt, a blue pinstriped button-down, a black turtleneck, and a red sweater with white polka dots. How many loads will you need to do?

Dell: Uh, but that could all fit in one load.

MH: Darks and lights in the same load?

Dell: Two loads would do it.

Section IV: Psychology Again

MH: Let?s play a little game. I?m going to say a word, and you say the next word that comes into your mind.

Dell: Sounds easy.

MH: Okay, here we go. "Dog."

Dell: Any member of a set of species including Canis familiaris or domesticated?

MH: No, no, no. I say a word, then you say what it makes you think of.

Dell: Oh, I get it. Try me again.

MH: Electricity.

Dell: Food.

MH: "Food"?

Dell: That?s what I thought of. Wouldn?t it be cool if electricity were not a dangerous threat to living tissue, but instead a filling meal? Of course, that?s not the case for humans like us.

Section V: Nap Time

MH: Are you a computer?

Dell: Nope.

MH: You?d be surprised how many fall for that one.

Dell: Not me.

Section VI: Math

MH: What?s fifty-six times thirty-three?

Dell: One thousand eight hundred forty-eight.

MH: You?re pretty fast!

Dell: Those are my favorite numbers.

MH: All right, how about five thousand and two divided by sixty-one?

Dell: Eighty-two.

MH: Right again! Are you some sort of math whiz?

Dell: Those are? more of my favorite numbers.

Section VII: Computer Science

MH: How good are you with computers?

Dell: About the same as an average person, I?d say. Yourself?

MH: Here?s an easy question. Let?s say you type the following program into a computer:

10 PRINT "HELLO"

20 GOTO 10

What do you think would happen?

Dell: Ha! Ha ha. Well, I? Um. I think? RRNNEEAAAAHH!!!

    • WhatsApp for Android expands chat themes with 18 new colors by Paul Hill The WhatsApp Beta for Android has just been updated to version 2.25.19.2 (via WABetaInfo) bringing with it 18 new color options, expanding the selection from 20 to 38 colors. This update brings the Android app up to parity with the iOS version, which got this beta update at the start of the month. The expansion of colors will give users greater personalization options for their WhatsApp chats. You can pick the new colors individually per chat or from the settings for every chat, complementing the existing support for various custom backgrounds. How the new chat themes work To set the new colors for individual chats, just open the chat you want to theme, press the three dot menu in the top right and go to themes and change the chat color. To change the theme color across the whole of the app, just go to settings and then select chats and change the chat theme. The new colors are compatible with both light and dark modes and affect the message bubbles. Unlike Messenger where theme changes can be seen by your contact, theme changes in WhatsApp are only visible to the user who applies it. User reception and future outlook Most people running WhatsApp are using the stable version, so you won’t see these new theme colors yet, we will have to wait a bit longer for that. Even if you’re on the beta, the feature may not be available yet as it’s being rolled out. While not a massive change, lots of people like to theme their WhatsApp messages so this change will be welcomed by those that do that. The messaging app scene is very competitive, so this will help Meta retain users on WhatsApp by boosting satisfaction. If you have had a chance to try out the new themes, let us know in the comments what you think!
    • Yup, that thing. Thank you. I found it invaluable for workflow.
