This applies in the earlier stages of the game. In the endgame, when there are fewer pieces, computers can find the best move. There are many instances where say, you reach and endgame with some nine pieces, and the computer will find a m

If you're a novice, here's some good advice: play lots of games, but when you study, study tactics. Get some basics down on the endgame, some strategy concepts, but just the very basics, and then just study tactics. And by that I

Well, I think the main reason we can't yet compare him to Kasparov is that Garry become world champion at a similar age, but then held the title for many years (a decade and a half depending on which title you count after the Fide&#x2F

Given today's level of obsession required to become #1 in any professional sport, I wonder what kind will be needed to be #1 in, say, 25 years. Have we reached some sort of pinnacle? I doubt it, but we probably thought these kind of at

I sorta hate to break it to you but this happens to songs all the time. Greatest example ever: Springsteen's 'Born In the USA'.

Agree. It seems to me that the guy is just a poor communicator at this type of thing. He didn't lie, but he could have had better answers.

I'll probably get downvotes, but here goes: I liked the ad, it moved me, it didn't bother that it was from a big corporation (re the discussion below). What bothers me in ads, and in movies etc, is how the men can always be some r

I also use one as a squeezebox client, with picoreplayer, and it works like a charm. Also tested it as a squeezebox server with squeezeplug and it worked great.

check out the kinesis advantage, and some other models they have too: http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/advantage.htm There's also another company that makes parallel keys, I think it's called Maltron.

I use the same lenovo keyboard, and in my text editor I map the mouse buttons to work like Canon Cat's LEAP keys. It's awesome. Any Canon Cat fans out there?

Wow, I didn't know about that. That's ridiculous. I remember watching this comedy bit from Chris Rock about the end of the 'innocent bystander', and I never thought it would actually happen one day.

Also, the one in the video doing the tricks is probably optimized to be very lightweight. I guess adding any kind of useful armor would slow it down considerably.

I'm from a country that has zero football and soccer is the king of everything. Some time ago I started watching football and really enjoyed both the physical tactical aspects of it. Been very busy though (had kids!), and never got to

No, it's not. it's an illness. Your quote is about 'character flaw' as a literary critique concept. I was going to say in my post (the grandparent) that it could be argued, though not technically. Technically, it's

Thank you for pointing this out. People shouldn't be 'blamed' for taking their lives. However, I always feel this uneasiness around people when, like you said, the fact that suicide is a symptom of mental illness is brought u

I think the parent's questioning still applies. What would you do: serve six months, be labelled a felon (for something that you still believed wasn't wrong), not be allowed to vote, or commit suicide?

This could be for any number of reasons, and also a big coincidence, and I don't have time or the interest to read more on it, but the thing that I kept thinking while I read the story was "why did you have to do that thing with B

Being that big and having a battery, I would have implanted a tiny mp3 player with a smallish speaker. Waay cooler (because to me he did it pretty much for the 'cool' factor).

I'm with you. I also hate when submitters mess around with titles, since the journalist has already (a lot of the time) messed around and hand picked a quote or chose a sensationalist header. Then comes the HN submitter and double-fuck
