dev_null_ziggy writes: "CNN reports that the current chess guru is going up against a supercomputer, amusingly titled 'Deep Fritz.' The match is scheduled for October, and the current champion, Vladimir Kramnik, stands to win $1 Million dollars if he wins. Of course, since he'll be snagging $800k for a draw, and $600k for a loss ... I'll give two to one odds on the machine."

    i think the computer should have to play Risk, i mean it will really help its kind get the feel for global domination that they will need in the future when they create arnold schwarzenegger bots and eventually use us humans like batteries... thats when its time for Charlton Heston.
