This is really a non issue, its proven its worth on the playchess site its beaten Shredder decisively It beat the hell out of that GM , 4th game pending, *more likely another win for hydra* Its running on a 16way, xeon system with FPGA cards in it, It has a Dr. in mathematical stastics programming it, It has TWO GM's advising, It has yet ANOTHER university doogooder helping with programming, It has a very large budget, of course it is the strongest in the world, Does all of this sound like something else? yes absolutely, Deep Blue, and at the time, DB was the strongest around, and at this time, Hydra is the strongest around, Now the true question of, have computers over-taken humans? your damn right they have, Hydra is the smallest of fish in a very big pond with very big fish in 'super computer' terms Deep Gene, which is being released in 2005 or 2006 (not sure if they have been delayed) is going to do 1 QUADRILLION calculations a second, the fastest right now is the Earth Simulator which does about 38 trillion, (if i remember correctly) If you were to spend the 250 MILLION dollars on Deep Gene, making a program for chess that runs on it, utilizing the 1 quadrillion calculations a second, you would find an unbeatable machine, even for other machines, there would be simply no comparison, with money comes brains with brains comes ideas with money comes resources with resources comes results You can't even compare a human to a true super computer at this point in the game, the 'meaning' of man vs machine at this point, is Desktop computer vs Human not man vs MACHINE.
