12 ways to spot a URO*

1) If the URO has eight fingers, it's a robot, or a programmer
working in hex.

2) If the URO understands Pascal, it's a robot. If it LISPS, it's a
programmer.

3) If the URO has a cup of coffee in its hand, it's a robot. If it
spills the coffee, it's a human.

4) If the URO churns out 500 lines of error-free code, it's a robot.

5) If the URO is carrying a plastic bag full of vendor literature,
it's a robot - or a programmer who hasn't learned to avoid salesmen.

6) If the URO has wrinkles from smiling when users say, "Can't you
make this one little change?" it's a programmer.

7) If the URO has a telephone to its ear, it's a human. (99% sure test)

8) It the URO only roams a distance of 2 booths, it's a robot - or
an NCC visitor who's lost.

9) If you can program URO, it's an unknown. Go on to next test.

10) If the URO is wearing clothes, it's either a human or a robot
wearing clothes.

11) Tell a story about Grace Hopper or Herb Grosch. If the URO
laughs, it's human.

12) If the URO has bleary, bloodshot eyes from living 24 hours at
the office, it's a robot.

Wyatt Earp looked like this green vax. NOBODY expects some conceited
cat! Marvin Minsky looked at Ronald Reagan.
