So, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter agreed to play Jeopardy against a supercomputer.

They filmed a practice round.

I would be interested in the outcome.

In reading about this I am amazed at how much work goes into building a computer that can "think" like a person (well...some people anyways).

Ken Jennings sucks. The guy in the playing on the left is pretty cool though.

Ken actually put up a decent fight against a computer... that's pretty crazy.

Saw the night he lost. I got it. Couldn't believe he missed it as I followed him from the start and he answered tons of shit I've never learned to forget. After that Treprick said some anti-American shit that offended me during a young'ins interview section part of the show -I haven't cared to watch him since.. That was about 3 or 4 years ago...

I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something. - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.
