Oh my god, look, in the sky! Now show me where that exists in Britannica. Oh wait, if there's an error in Britannica it takes a year to get that fixed.
Chess isn't simple but it's very tactical. Chess computers are very good at the tactical aspects of chess because they have an excellent memory but they will go for your queen even if it's not even a part of your strategy--things like that were also noticed during the Kasparov-Deep Blue matches and are the reason Kasparov is an advocate of playing chess with both a human and a computer. At games like Go and Hex whose strategic aspects are much stronger(except on very small boards where computers excel because 90% of the game on boards smaller than about 6 has been logically solved) humans are generally superior to computers--I remember reading an article about how Go strategy being used as a psychological profiler. There is a class of problems which require full thought and can't be solved through brute force like chess and diagnosis or through simple do this, do that like surgery. As a Go or Hex board gets bigger the complexity of a brute-force approach increases exponentially.
Do you know anything about chaos theory? A simple process iterated a large number of times has a result whose exact result cannot be pinpointed. Personally, I find natural intelligence more scary than artificial intelligence. If an AI gets too bad, we can turn it off and move it to a sandbox/honeypot and they won't even be able to notice the difference if it's done well. Humans, not so much.

I would say it to his face. And then when he tries to protest I'll make Rage against the Machine guitar noises with my mouth.
Boss Tweed's first order of business to protestors was a hefty increase in tax duties.
Is that Lojban?
Gaius Baltar: The Cylon occupation of New Caprica is a good thing. The Cylons are now taking us seriously.
Wouldn't it have withered and died off when the first few books were released, then?

Harry Potter is British. What does it have to do with American literature?
Hallowed are the Ori.
He was the henchman for a tyrant.

He didn't say that. He said that the police shoot peaceful protestors.
That sentence. I do not think it works like you think it does.
No, that would be Saint Paul.
You do realize that line was actually said by a bad guy in the original play, right?
I've seen it more often that Yahoo's the one which loses mail.
I really think they'd want Trent Reznor promoted to godhood rather than Kurt. Assuming you're talking about that Kurt.

The Cylons were created by man. They rebelled. They evolved. There are many copies. AND THEY HAVE A PLAN.
Awww, are you sad that you can't have slaves anymore?
Are you talking about Asimov's internet(UNIVAC?) or Asimov's intent(homunculus laws)?
He said independently, not directly against.
Eir rights. Not eirs, eirs is the possessive pronoun and not the possessive adjective.
Diebold isn't giving robots the vote. It's giving the Diebold president a skewed vote. I doubt there's a full AI in those machines.
I know you said "ignoring robots" but "no personality ever died" reminds me of the Cylons.
