I have also worked in a machine learning/AI research lab, and one quickly realizes that AI is like a magic trick: It's really amazing when you see it, but as soon as you find out how it was done, it loses its appeal. When you find out the levitating woman was actually being held up by a series of hidden cables cleverly disguised to avoid detection, the magic trick has suddenly become less magic, and more trick.
I presume you are making the right point that computers cannot solve any problem which cannot be described by a Turing Machine.

I just finished the crop circle. Whew! I wrote I-R-A-N with a picture of a butterfly. It serves three purposes: First--Since the aliens are intelligent, they will know that since I didn't say "Take manavendra to your planet" that I really did say "Take manavendra to your planet". Second--Since the American military is not intelligent, maybe they'll bomb my backyard instead of the country. Third--Since there is a picture of a butterfly, maybe Reb will go hunting there (of course, at the same time the Americans are bombing).
god willing...
Well well, more ugly politcs and ugly violent talk about fellow users from trysts.
When you finally get shunted off this site by the powers that be it will be a happy occasion for all.
You should talk padman
You're one of the most annoying posters here.

don't you think it correlates with being left-handed or right-handed?

@all who are interested:
I was just wondering about the ratio of people who play left-handed and right-handed otb chess. Does, it makes any difference considering our brain is divided into two halves: left and right.
Who divided your brain into two halves, manavendra? I hope you can put it back together again.
trysts, but EVERYTHING is composed of two halves

Yes, it correlates, but how does it affects one's game play. Normally, the right side of body is controlled by left hemisphere of brain and vice versa. So, would it be correct to say that left-handed people use more of their Right brain while playing Chess.

only for the physical act of moving pieces - almost certainly not for thinking
