..our leaders don’t get their kicks above the waistline…

“I did not have sexual relations with that Deep Blue.”

Although I’m sure he would have tried if he could have found the right adaptor.

So, now we need a leader smart enough to play chess?

Never happen…our leaders don’t get their kicks above the waistline, sunshine.

Waiting for Big Blue to announce its own Presidential Bid in…01001000100001. :P

That would more properly be expressed as “0101, 0100, 0011, 0010, 0001″. Or, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1″ to us puny humans. :-)

Who would you rather have win the US presidency, George Clooney or David Duke? I’d vote for Clooney.

Why? What’s wrong with David Duke?

has united liberals, leftists and nationalists

So the guy is really smart…He’s still wrong. I wouldn’t get excited about this.

p.s. If someone has already posted with this train of thought, forgive the repetition. I did not read all of the above postings.

For the third time, the computer chess community was privileged to witness a match between the human world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, and IBM’s Deep Blue chess machine. In 1989, Kasparov easily defeated the program — then named ‘Deep Thought’ — in a two-game, fast-play match. The Deep Blue team spent seven long years preparing for a return match with Kasparov, which they eventually got in 1996.

Last year’s Kasparov – Deep Blue match was played in Philadelphia in February. The six-game match, played under tournament conditions, was contested for a prize fund of $500,000. The very first game produced a stunning surprise, as Kasparov stumbled in an unbalanced position and went on to a historic defeat. For the first time under tournament conditions, the world chess champion had lost to a computer.

Oh, wait, that headline isn’t due for a month or two!

Forget you read that.

Spasibo!

Putin is very popular in Russia among the common people and I think his successor will win. Ultra nationalism is not that popular but anti-corruption wins it for Putin.

I’ll bet they have little in common with st.Cindy and Michael Moore.

Well…… since Michael Moore’s health care Docucraptery flunked that may change after he goes to Russia…. for his next attempt at a Docucraptery.

would that make Kasparov then a pro-American leftist? Does such a thing exist?

Surprise! Surprise! It sure can! Anything is possible.

(Okay, I made up the one about Putin, but the one about Stalin is true.)

Pootie poot on you!

Here’s another tidbit:

Putin’s real name is Viktor Suvorov, but he changed it to Putin by taking the atomic symbol for Plutonium, PU, that used in nuclear bombs, and adding TIN from from the tin soldiers he played with as a boy.

If Russian past is prologue, Putin will be trouble.

(Okay, I made up the one about Putin, but the one about Stalin is true.)

Anybody seen Bobby Fischer lately?
Maybe we could pull him out of hiding when Kasparov wins the election, so at least someone smarter than him strategically could counter his plans, if Kas isn’t labeled “missing” in the near future.

He may be our chess hero, but he’s not better than Kasparov. Kasparov held the world title for longer than anyone and only a few years ago lost the title.

Fischer can’t even compete these days since going nuts.

Accidents can and do happen.

abinitioadinfinitum on September 30, 2007 at 5:42 PM

Indeed.

Kasparov has become a thorn in Putin’s side to the point that Putin has had him investigated for “extremism.” Of course, Putin does that to just about everyone who opposes him.

Yeah, Putin doesn’t know anything about extremism. Now, please excuse him while he goes to polish his iron fist, I mean, glove.

Putin is a Judo black belt.
