Now what would really be cool is if we actually used this like a stamp. You know, where secret messages aren't written on the letter, but are actually in the stamp itself.
Granted, stamps are expensive enough as it is, so maybe it's not such a great idea...
Yeah, you're right. He's got to be in some movies, be like the "Chessinator", decimating players left and right with big, dramatic explosions. Follow that up with driving around in a big Hummer, flex his chess muscles, and then he'll be ready to run for office.
Bending the rules? This is the first I've heard of this. Anyone know more about it? What sort of "rules" can be bent in chess? "Ok, you can only look X moves ahead", or "you have to wait a realistic 400 milliseconds between your move and punching the clock, just like a real player". Something like that, or what? And what further restrictions could be placed on it anyways? If the computer isn't doing it's best to beat the opponent, what's the point?
Funny...last time I checked, life was around well before chess was. Wouldn't it make more sense to title it "How Chess Imitates Life"? Doing it the other way is like saying "How Roosevelt Imitates Bush"...sure the equality might exist, but which came first isn't up for discussion.
You know, your right. I think maybe the women of the world must have conceived laptop computers--they are infinitely more suited to such devices. They don't have to worry about sperm count, fried leg hair, and plus, anyone whose witnessed a mom/wife/etc. cooking knows that women are more resistant to heat in general.
Of course, on the flip side, it could be a ploy by men to ensure the continuing presence of female secretaries/administrative assistants...
If you tell someone about your computer processor, and you cough slightly while you say the processor name, you end up with a Turing machine. If only it were true...
Good thing we aren't anonymous

I can tell you one thing, it's a good thing the business world isn't a world of anonymity. I've played enough online games to know that the day that happens, the collective maturity of individuals will decrease. Competitive atmosphere = Good. Competitive atmosphere + Anonymimity = j00 R a l0s3r
Well that's just because he knows he's next in line...after you get all the little guys, you always have to beat the boss, who, I might add, will require multiple hits and have a distintive pattern to his counterattacks. Unforuntately, in real life, there is no save, no continue, and you only have one life left. And there is no princess, not even in another castle or skyscraper.
I think I saw that in a movie...isn't that where the horse runs up to the edge of the cliff (or board in this case), stops just short of falling off, and the rider is unceremoniously thrown forward over mighty steed's head, over the edge of no return.
On a more serious note, that might be interesting if the chessboard had a "wraparound" feature, so if you move beyond the edge, you actually start back at the other side.
Here I thought you were going to suggest using robots instead of humans on the front lines, and then you talked about just fixing humans with robotic parts. I should think someday we won't have to risk lives so often. We'll have robot wars between countries, and people will get used to the idea of not risking their lives to exercise control over others.
It started with bots on comptuer games like Counter-Strike, now we've got bots walking more efficiently, pretty soon, some thing akin to Commander Data will get perfect scores on DDR every time.
What am I thinking, robots like that will soon be able to get perfect scores while playing multiple games of DDR simultaneously...
So I've got a question for analysis (although it seems the server could use a liquid nitrogen bath right now)...
If all the spam-based penis growth pill claims were stacked end to end, how many times would it circle the world, and would it be worth the money to have a member that large?
So what's the rationale behind this? Is it basically the same as catching a fish and throwning it back becasue it was too little? Not enough profits? Are they hoping that open source developers will make as user friendly as Gmail?
Also, how exactly do they transfer it over to open source? Will company employees still head up the project, or do they just pick some leader in the OSS community and declare a project leader?
I'm thinking he should probably get together a bunch of future IE7 users, ask for donations, and put a big ol' ad in the New York Times or something. Just to see if he can.

Unfortunately, I hear that any hardware that uses the "millipede" ends up being a bit "buggy"...
The next step is obvious...the Ultra Shuffle!
Also plays FM radio, records voice, AND hooks up to your retina so you can watch a random selection of up to 25 DVDs!
I think it might hurt your chances if you tell them that you've been mating quite a bit lately...

Chess master: I'm sorry, you can't castle when your king is in check...
KGB Master: Watch me.
I don't think the match will last very long when you can make up the rules as you go.

Well, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear...it was a Monty Python joke to begin with. :)
So when Linux users get to put blue paint on their faces and fight for their free software?
"FREEDOM!!!!"
I suppose instead of being one of the knights who say "NEE!", he'll be one of the knights who say "moNEY!"
Maybe clippy will be replaced with swordy...

course, that's probably a ridiculous notion...

Actually, if it's anything like previous versions of Windows, you must mean "Longhorn is IE7".
I, for one, welcome our new...er...old borg-like overlords.
