Jeopardy: IBM Computer Vs. Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter
Countdown to Jeopardy!

The stage is set. The excitement is building. On February 14, 2011, Watson will face its toughest challenge yet. Jeopardy! The IBM Challenge will pit the two greatest champions in the show’s history against a computing system that will rival their ability to deliver a single, precise answer to a Jeopardy! clue.

15 TB and 2000+ cores on this beast
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/13/i...eopardy-pract/

says a lot about the human brain that that much processing power is needed to just compete with (a very well trained) human, and that too at only one specific task

on a side note, wtf is this?

Yes! I been waiting for this ever since Watson kicked ass in the Test match.

Don't worry about online links. Watson will record and post it on Youtube when the match is done.

Game just ended and will continue tomorrow. The same link should work.

Commercials really crack me up now that I experience them again. Stool softener... Really? Stool softener?

You wouldn't be laughing if you've ever taken a shit so hard it hurt.
Not pleasant.

Personal experience?

Was it the diet that does it for you or something else?

Are you honestly saying that ALL of your shits have come out easy? I find that very difficult to believe.

Easy? Guess that depends on the scale you use and the definition of easy.

But never did I experience the pain you mentioned to the point where I saw the commercial and went "Oh, if only I had taken that."

Is this a common problem for you? Did you ever find out if its diet or something else?

Nah, it was just one time. Think it was a combination of food poisoning and severe dehydration.
But yea, it was horrifying. Couldn't imagine having that as a daily occurence.
