Posted by timothy on from the muse-against-the-machine dept.

If you missed out on the event, you can catch up with it at the site of the event's sponsor, including both 2d and 3d viewing options.

    chess. how bout it. woo. how trite and dull. it's one thing to play a game, quite another to watch a couple guys (or one and a computer) fight the same scenario over and over. While I cannot deny the tactical value of the game, the computer is only capable of doing what a human programs it to. Anything it supposedly figures out on its own is still a result of man's engineering. So I honestly don't care. This sort of event does little to prove anything to anyone with a real practical application. Build one that can kick ass at Avalon Hill's Advanced Third Rich, chess, and Axis and Allies and then I might be impressed.

    Everytime something large is done in flash, everyone bitches about that, too.

    The only way they could have gotten away with it without anyone bitching is a series of JPG (can't use GIFs, someone will whine about the patents) renderings.

    Other possibilities, like Quicktime, would also get complaints.

    I guess what I should have realized is that there's enough whining, crying, bitching queers on this site that they'll never be happy about anything that isn't written by Linus, supported by RedHat, or directly attacks Microsoft.

    Bobby Fischer praised the 9/11 attacks over the radio.

    Really? What a dope. The attacks didn't even come by radio! Even I know they used airplanes.
