One thing is certain: computers will never make sweeping claims of never about computers

Stephen Baker talks about the looming Computer vs. Man Jeopardy smackdown tomorrow here.  He claims that computers will never be able to match human ingenuity.  I don't know about that.  There are just too many things that computers do today that people said they could 'never' do.  And with power per dollar of computing set to explode a million fold over the next twenty years I wouldn't bet money  against our cyborg overlords, oops, I mean friends.

Bob Dylan said it best:  The times, they are a-changin'.....

Fast.
