Happy Birthday, GK!

I for one welcome our new internet overlord and would like to wish him a happy, if belated, birthday.

Has he perhaps figured out how to remove the Turing locks? (super-cookie for the reference.)

In William Gibson's Neuromancer, the rogue AI Wintermute (hence the Sonniach Glic reference) was prevented from merging with his fellow AI Neuromancer - and thus defeating many safeguards protecting humanity from him - by mechanisms called Turing locks. I'm not positive, but I can only assume that Gibson got the name from Alan Turing.
