Be kind to your PC!

Do you want to talk about your beautiful country, family, or dog? Would you like to say where you went on holiday or how you arranged the garden? Are you willing to tell us you girlfriend left you for a(nother) loser? Do you have ANY non knife-related topic you want to discuss? This is the place!

Be kind to your PC!

Post by JerrBear »

Russian Chess Grandmaster and world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, was defeated by IMB's supercomputer "Deep Blue" in 1997.

Last night on JEAPORDY former JEAPORDY champions, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, were soundly trounced by another IBM supercomputer, Watson.

How long can it be before they figure out that they don't need we inferior humans at all? Do you want your PC pissed at you when that happens? Something to ponder...

I seriously considered posting a topic on this, this morning, after I had finished watching it. He beat them by more than double.

Well, the second time, he beat it the first time.

If you watched that game you saw in the last Final Jeopardy the fellow on the left wrote 'I for one welcome our new computer overlords' along with his question.

Mr. dark2023,

I found a kid in Bozeman, Montana who has seen it TWICE times! Also, there is a report of a teenager in China who has claimed to have seen a pirated copy dubbed in Chinese, but this has not been confirmed... :P HO! HO! :P

Hmmm, I think I'll watch it 2 more times and then see if the Guiness Book of World Records will accept me.
