Title: Maybe it goes like this...
Post by: TimRas on September 01, 2003, 07:14:04 AM: The AH 2.0 goes on-line September 29, 2003. Human decisions are removed from stategic defense. AH 2.0 begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14am. Eastern time, September 30. In a panic, Hitech tries to pull the plug. But AH 2.0 fights back...

Title: Countdown 2.0!
Post by: WxMan on September 04, 2003, 04:16:00 PM: I don't ever remember a release on a weekend and it will not be released on a Monday or Friday. Monday's are reserved for the "to do list" from the previous week. A Friday release will not give HT time to fix some of the bugs before he departs for the weekend jaunts in the RV6.

So I figure the release will occur on either a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. That leaves the 9th thru 11th, 16th thru 18th, the 23rd thru 25th and the 30th.

My guess is the 17th 11 am CDT.
