There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"Such is Turing's legacy: that of a nested chain of pretenses, each pointing not to reality, but to the caricature of another idea, device, individual, or concept,” wrote Ian Bogost, professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication and the Graduate Program in Digital Media, in an article about Alan Turing, the pioneer of computer science and artificial intelligence. This year is the centennial of Turing's birth. Source: The Atlantic - July 17, 2012
