Well, if you took it out of storage, and fed it the same moves as the disputed game, it should win, because it would be exactly the same as the last game it played (the disputed one) - which would now be in the dataset. You would have to remove the disputed game from the dataset in order to reproduce the conditions of the first time it played that game.
Apart from sleight of hand, the only way to cheat in chess is to use outside help. It doesn't matter at what level this is, or via console hacking or colored yogurt.
I think the only way to find out would be to see if Deep Blue would make the same move again, and what the code looked like that would prompt it to do so.
I got a Samsung Galaxy I7500, and it's stuck at 1.5 - Samsung aren't upgrading it at all. I wouldn't recommend buying Samsung Android equipment - HTC looks a much better bet.
A black hole is much more likely to perturb the orbit of the Earth than to actually swallow it. Of course, if you wave goodbye to the habitable zone the net effect is the same.
I do feel less creative on medication, but I have had such unpleasant experiences from this illness (prior to diagnosis and treatment) that I prefer the medication to the loss of creativity. I have type I bipolar disorder, and it is quite severe, so choosing medication or not is not really a difficult choice. I don't know whether the lessening of creativity is due to the decrease in my mood swings, or due to the medication effecting some other brain function that is responsible for creativity. I take Lithium and Sodium Valproate, they're not so bad.
The Kay Redfield Jameson book "Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament" makes a good case for a link between bipolar disorder and creativity, though unfortunately many of the people given as examples are dead, and therefore difficult to investigate first hand.
Georg Cantor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Cantor is one of my favorite candidates for a creative bipolar individual. I've been interested in his work for a while.
I do suffer from a number of cognitive deficits, I have very bad visual processing and visual memory - when I collect my daughter from an airport I will falsely recognize other people as her, which is disconcerting to everyone involved.
As for problem solving in general, one thing that I should have mentioned, if I'm not feeling too hot, I'm not going to be interested in problem solving. The only way round this is if someone manages to motivate me into being interested, or if it's a "startling" problem - one that shakes me out of my blue mood.
I saw some of the episode's Steven Fry made, I think it was called "The secret life of the manic depressive". It was interesting in that he "outed" himself on TV, which even now is a brave thing to do.
As for how it worked out for me at Uni., well, I had a reputation even then as being "slightly" eccentric, but I was fortunate enough to do a degree in Computer Science. If the code solved the problem, had comments and documentation, had been designed and could be tested, there wasn't much to argue about.
I've found things a little different in the working world. But it's not necessarily a problem, what I like is having the idea itself, even if no one picks up on it, or it's dropped, I still got that a-ha moment, and for me that's a lot of what it's all about.
On the whole, and if I had the choice, I would prefer not to have it, but as I do, I just have to get on with things and carry on regardless.
I have bipolar disorder, a reasonably high IQ, and count myself as a creative person. It's difficult to describe how it feels to come up with something new, sometimes someone will just explain a problem to me, and I'll say straight away, "have you tried...." and they'll just look at me. It's kind of instant analysis and solution - I don't know where it comes from. When I was studying for my degree, I would try and come up with solutions that were non-standard, but still worked, just because I thought that was more interesting. At other times I'll get a sense that there's an answer wrapped up in the problem, one that no one else has found, but I have to really sit down and think about it. The longest I've thought about a problem (and come up with a solution) is 24 years. Of course, that was on and off thinking. It felt great when I got the answer.
At least we don't try to turn the language overly cute, as in telly and Beeb. And if I'm playing footy, it's a precursor with a girl to something much more fun, especially if it's in a large, open field.
From my experience in selling things to people in European countries, it costs quite a bit more to get things from Asia to Europe than compared to North America, not to mention the mountain of languages needed to advertise for a smaller market. Blame your politicians and many languages.
You mean we should blame our politicians for Europe's location? Incidentally, how is the Wii hunt going in the USA?

Actually, that's a very good point, the last, disputed game, would have to be removed from the dataset.
I don't think it's dumb to say there is some controversy about this, and that it would be worth trying to verify the result. Why is that dumb?

I don't think that's entirely fair given the mod points or my previous posts. Fair point about NO CARRIER though.
