[GLLUG] Watson on Jeopardy

[Chick Tower]

IBM's Watson computer will be playing on Jeopardy next Monday through 
Wednesday.  PBS's Nova had an episode on tonight about it, and it plays 
pretty impressively when it doesn't make bone-headed mistakes.  Since it 
can't hear Alex Trebek read the clues, it will receive them via text 
messages, as well as the correct questions, so it will still be learning 
as it plays.  I saw on the LinuxToday website that it runs SuSE Linux.

Jeopardy comes on at 7:30 p.m. on WILX, which is Channel 10 on 
over-the-air TV.
