  1. The main difference... by Bowie+J.+Poag · · Score: 5, Funny



    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

    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.

  4. 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.
