Quotation of the Day for October 31, 2011"Computer chess has developed much as genetics might have if the geneticists had concentrated their efforts starting in 1910 on breeding racing Drosophila... We would have some science, but mainly we would have very fast fruit flies." - John McCarthy (September 4, 1927 - October 23, 2011), the father of Artificial Intelligence and creator of the Lisp programming language, commenting after IBM's Deep Blue supercomputer won its famous chess rematch with then world champion Garry Kasparov in May 1997.
