except that the whole point is that people don't necessarily know to blame the gas station and think that there's something wrong with their mercedes then they trade it in and tell other people not to get one. it's anti-competitive and bad for the little guys and thats why there should be laws to protect us from corporate monsters before they get too big.
I can't see the 3d rendering thing really working out. Imagine the scenario: hey, all the macs in the office are running slow, what's going on? oh joe is stealing our cpu cycles to render virtual porn he made in 3dsmax. thanks rendezvous.
and somehow I can't see renderfarms spending an extra $2000 per machine just so they can shave a few minutes off configuring. blah blah.
i get it, but the fact that there's always a winner no matter how evenly matched the opponents implies that one side has an advantage, depending on how much komi
if they were really scripted I would think they'd throw in some theatrics, such as garry breaking his chair over kramnik's face, then you'd see americans take an interest in chess.
maybe they just want us to think it tanked so they can get $1M out of the fans as blackmail money before they make a new movie. hey, it worked for farscape.
no it's x3 not ^3, and you can't substitute black for white because of komi. also there's ko considerations that I didn't mention and you have to realize that more than half of the theoretical board positions would never arise in an actual game. all things considered, much more finite than chess.
The reason there's no killer go app is because the programmers consider a database of 'best moves' cheating and instead try to come up w/ actual algorithms to do the thinking. really it's just a matter of compiling a very manageably-sized database.
wrong. go is much more finite than chess. it's 19x19x3x2 (an intersection can be black, white or empty, black or white to move.) and really divide that by four since you can just rotate the board 90 degrees to get the extra variations. once you map the best move for each positions it's game over for humanity.
shouldn't kramnik get to defend our honor since he's the world champion? kasparov is higher rated but maybe only because kramnik hasn't been playing much.
is this like when apollo creed stands in for rocky to fight dolph lundgren in rocky IV?
you're right, and in a perfect world cars would watch out for bikes and I wouldn't feel a need to, but as it is I feel safer on the sidewalk sometimes and I know enough to go very slowly on sidewalks so that nobody gets hurt (especially me).
By the way, sidewalk bike traffic in california is not strictly illegal unless a sign has been posted. There are even places that I know of where signs are posted that bikes MUST ride on sidewalks. ask any three cops and at most 2 will agree with you.
Bike traffic is always an afterthought in urban planning, it's too bad there are so many bike-unfriendly downtown areas.
Rollerbladers move about as fast as a sprinting human, and as such represent a lower hazard.
huh? rollerblades move as fast as bikes on a sidewalk, top speed around 30mph I just can't imaging doing that on a sidewalk on a bike or rollerblades, if I had my pick though I'd rather be hit by a rollerblader just because they're softer for the most part.
When I ride my bike in a downtown area where there are lots of cars parked on the side of the street, I get on the sidewalk and ride slowly.
The reason is that I can't rely on the drivers watching before they slam open a car door. Technically I'm not supposed to do it but I've had conversations with cops about it and they mostly agree that I'm better off on the sidewalk as long as I'm going slow. Same will probably be true for segway.

I guess you never heard of flash.
and how solar panels could be built using substances produced by sea sponges
these sponges don't happen to live in pineapples do they?
what no wang joke??

The requisite Go reference: With komi rules, there are never any draws
which really only shows that one side has an advantage.

that's it buddy, you show that turd who's boss.
A case full of what?
let's hope its a case of the clap.

no pun intended.
No one has been able to create a game that can consistently beat anyone higher than 15K
only for lack of trying. trust me it's a no-brainer.

They're made by disney-paid migrant farmworkers as a marketing tool to boost dvd sales of 'signs'.
Rosen said. ``But I have young children and I want to devote more of my time to them.''
When I first read this I thought it said:
But I have young children and I want to devour more of them.
and the next you're watching Tom Cruise and 'Top Gun'
uh oh, somebody just showed their true colors.
My guess is at least 15,000 of them will be mahjongg.

yes, more bike lanes is the answer. also if owners of electric cars get tax incentives for being eco-friendly so should people who commute on bikes.
for the $5G you spent on a segway you could've gotten a really nice bike and have already started working off most of that beer gut.

youre not supposed to ride bikes on sidewalks!
When I ride my bike in a downtown area where there are lots of cars parked on the side of the street, I get on the sidewalk and ride slowly.

No, last time I checked having genitalia was not exclusively human.
