Because of the Turing completeness theory, everything one Turing-complete language can do can theoretically be done by another Turing-complete language, but at a different cost. You can do everything in assembler, but no one wants to program in assembler anymore.

I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.

Sa Iyo
Salamat
Kahit papano, naging tulay ka sa pagbabago ng buhay ko,
Nagbigay ng 2 anghel sa mundo,
Nawala man ang isa,
Cya ang anghel na aagapay sayo at ako...
Nawala man tayo,
Maging magandang simbolo ka sana ng anak mo na asa tabi mo..
Kaibigan pa rin ang turing ko sau at ama ng anak ko,
Kahit naging pangit ang buhay nating binuo,
Naging maganda ng wala na tayo.
Ang anghel nating natitira sa mundo, pakaalagaan mo,
Cya lng ang mundo ko at buhay mo,
Ngayung meron ka ng bago,
Wag mong iwaglit ang anak ko..
Alam ko mahal mo ang balong ko,
Gusto ko lang ipaalala sayo,
Kung ano nakikita nya,
Tumatatak sa isip nya.
Sana kahit sinusunod ka nya,
Isipin mo sana, nasasaktan na cya,
Pero wala ako reklamo sa pagpapalaki mo,
Dahil alam ko naging mabuti kang ama sa knya.
Nawala man tayo,
Tulad ng sabi ko,
Kaibigan pa rin turing ko sayo...
Dahil don tayo nagsimulang nabuo...
Salamat.....SA IYO.....

It is a sore point, because you do have advantages if you have access to more than one language. You also have problems, because on bad days you don't trust yourself, either in your first or your second language, and so you feel like a complete halfwit.

The fathers of the field had been pretty confusing: John von Neumann speculated about computers and the human brain in analogies sufficiently wild to be worthy of a medieval thinker, and Alan Turing thought about criteria to settle the question of whether machines can think, a question of which we now know that it is about as relevant as the question of whether submarines can swim.

You're stupid boyfriend
His name is colby
you stole him from me
he has runied my life
i hate him and you
you called me names
you said i couldn't stay with one guy
you have no idea what i'm going through
have you asked him what he's been doing
i know he's trying to get with other girls
they talk to me
they don't like him
and if your going to point fingers that's fine
I already have a plan
i have 3 weeks left to live
then i'm saying goodbye
there is no turing back now
i have to embrace what little time i have left
no one will cry once i die
they will all be saying thank the lord she's finally dead
my parents will be happy once i'm gone
they won't even shed a tear
i feel like crying everyday
i fel like dying a little more

Alan Turing
A man who truly left his mark,
A war hero at Bletchley park,
His memory we must cherish,
He proved vital to the British,
Problems that seem overwhelming,
To be solved by Alan Turing,
Keeping the war effort on track,
With an insight that others lack.
Averting what the war forebode,
Helping crack the Enigma code,
In a time of sheer defiance,
The birth of computer science,
One talented mathematician,
Set with a most crucial mission,
He helped a victory in war,
Progress his work did underscore.

That Lonely World Out There....
draw the line
complete the circle
this is the fence
no one enters
and no gets out
exclusive world

the world of the rich and the famous
exclusive clubs and
a language of their own
well you must by now understand
that is the authentic language of

So long as we use a certain language, all questions that we can ask will have to be formulated in it and will thereby confirm the theory of the universe which is implied in the vocabulary and structure of the language.

Also, they don't understand - writing is language. The use of language. The language to create image, the language to create drama. It requires a skill of learning how to use language.

You Must Now Walk Alone
A chapter has ended
A new one begins
The book of life trembles
Because of the unknown
Turing back the pages
You see the joy
The sorrows of old
And smile at each memory
Of adventure untold
Your heart skips a beat
As you read each page of gold
And think to yourself
When did you travel the path?
Of life alone
Searching the pages
Were two foot steps entwine
You see the paths they walk
As they separate and untwine
And they get lost
Between the pages of time
You search you look
When did they become one?
Each one walking on their own
You cry in vain as you realize
You're all alone
Standing on the pathway
A tear trickles down your cheek
But to continue your Journey
You must now walk alone.

Dr Samuel Johnson's Dictionary Masterpiece
June 1746 deeply dissatisfied
with the dictionaries of the period
London booksellers contracted
Dr Samuel Johnson to write
'A Dictionary of the English Language'
15 April 1755 finally published.
Johnson took nine years to create
an authoritative dictionary of the English language
could finish in three years he claimed?
Preposterous Académie Française employed;
in comparison over forty learned scholars
spending needing forty years to complete;
its dictionary in the French language.
Forty Frenchmen times forty years
is not nine but 1600 years to complete.
Miracle miracle Johnson 1591 years defeats.
For what princely sum did Johnson contract
with William Strahan and printer associates;
a preeminent Dictionary in English to complete?
18 June 1746 in historic morning was signed
a project prestigious contact worth 1,500 guineas?
This sum of 1,500 guineas is
in pounds £1,575 equivalent
in 2012 to about £230,000.
A consortium of London's most
successful printers including Robert
Dodsley, Thomas Longman, would
finance a dictionary none could afford;
on such scale to undertake alone, thus was
contracted to be; a meticulous feat of legend.
Twas said 'the world contemplated
with wonder so stupendous a work achieved
by one man, while other countries
had thought such undertakings
fit only for whole academies'.'
OED took writers 70 years to complete.
Johnson's Dictionary unlike all proto-dictionaries;
earlier printed painstaking care exhibited
an exact completeness in illustrations definitions.
Upon bold title page was proud acknowledged;
Oxford had awarded Johnson a Master of Arts
degree in anticipation of so great an achievement.
This titanic marvel an unprecedented;
dictionary contained pages 18 inches
46 cm tall nearly 20 inches 50 cm wide.
Paper chosen was of the finest;
quality available running to a cost
of near £1,600 more than sum paid;
to Johnson to write what he pronounced
to be 'Vasta mole superbus' 'Proud
in its great bulk' a marvelous achievement.
No book this size except a few special editions;
of the Bible had even been set to type thus
no single bookseller could this book hope to print.
With pride Dr Samuel Johnson proclaims his;
'A Dictionary of the English Language' as words
deduced from their originals illustrated;
in their different significations by examples;
from the best writers to which he had prefixed
an English Grammar a history of the language.
Revolutionary genius Johnson's important;
innovation was to illustrate the meanings
of words with famous English literary quotations;
approximately 114,000 by the best writers;
Shakespeare, Milton and Dryden were authors
by Johnson most frequently included cited.
The colossal work each copy cost £4/10/- equivalent;
to £675 in 2005, a small fortune, so exorbitant an amount,
that five editions and thirty years later only copies 6,000;
had been sold averaging 200 books a year for thirty years.
Publication universal appreciation a standing ovation heralds
honours innovative content and Johnson's efforts to create it.
