OMG Alan Turing is a real person!
blindsuperhero:
Well kinda. I'm sure the influence he had on the design of the modern computer was the reason he was name-dropped in the comic
torg:
Well... his works were completely theoretical and didnt even touch the field of the design of the actual machines.
but you were right if you said that he had influence on the design of software, as his algorithm theory is part of the formal basics of computer programms.
CaptainKangaroo:
Wow, I thought I qualified as a semi computer geek and I've never heard of the Turing test for AI until now *covers face in shame* Thanks for the links, Torg :-)
torg:
Was a pleasure :)
I knew, that my degree in CS would pay off one day... *g*

Well, he designed the 'bombes', mechanical computers used to help break the Enigma codes
