    Coming up with a chess program to beat Kasparov mercilessly just isn't fun anymore. I say we put more research into writing a chess program that will make him cry while beating him mercilessly

      no kiddin. wouldn't that be hilarious if the computer tricked him into aligning all his pieces to say 'ass' or something crazy like that? or maybe sending his king on a death lap around the board only to be cornered by pawns... that'd be the ultimate humiliation... muahahaha

    thank god for Old Glory Insurace - they insure us against the robots. no longer do we have to live in fear of them attacking the elderly in search of their medicine.
    granted, robot attacks are the leading cause of death in america, but with old glory insurance on our side, we can feel safe and sleep better at night.

    I'll be truly impressed when a computer can show the creativity necessary to beat Bobby Fischer at developing crackpot political theories.

    I still hope and believe that there was nothing inappropriate.

    Indeed there was. Why do you think IBM was in such a big hurry to dismantle Deep Blue? There's still a coverup to this day -- turns out that huge "Deep Blue" box was hollow -- Kramnik was hiding inside of it the whole time.

  8. Really? They had to dismantle Deep Blue... by SuperKendall · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...because it kept insisting Fischer had a computer in his shoe while playing!! It wouldn't shut up, and they had to put it down... all very embarrassing for IBM. No wonder they kept it quiet.

  9. What was really funny... by pinosho · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...is the write up that Deep Junior made on its observations of the match. It really tore Kasparov up, I think it was bitter, claiming a computer was feeding Kasparov answers. I heard Kasparov blew Deep Junior off at a chess match some time ago, preferring to go play with its old friend HAL instead...

    How good is Deep Blue/Junior at poker?
