Ah, the eternal question about silicon vs. meat intelligence. I guess I believe that some day, there will an artificial intelligence at least as smart as a human. As far as programming goes, weren't...

I too have been amazed at that posting volume of Pat. I've often wondered if "Pat" were actually an AI somewhere on the net that has taken an interest in country life. Perhaps we should adminster a...
