I have ‘developed’ this strange theory about time travel for quite some time now. It is time for it to be presented it to the world:
Time traveling is a dumb idea because if you go to the Future or to the Past nothing will be there. Everybody will be in the Present.

Good news for all the Star War fans as it seems George Lucas is open to the possibility of shooting the sequels of this sci-fi saga after all. I just hope he doens’t ruin it by coming up with a new Jar Jar Binks…

Deep Junior, the reigning machine chess player, in the first
game of a 6 games match. You can see how the game went

A nice overview of the match can be found

and this is my favourite quote:
He also said that the software will be held to
“tournament standards,” meaning if it crashes or has any other
non-hardware problem, that’s tough luck. Since “crash” and
