I've always loved "Colossus: The Forbin Project". Not many people have seen it, as far as I can tell.
The only problem I have with that movie - well, the main problem - is that no programmer in the world would make such a system and then throw away the Stop button. No engineer would do that with a machine he built, either. Too many things can go wrong. But a fun movie, if you can ignore that. --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* The only thing UFO aliens deserve is to be ignored...and when we finally develop the right missiles, to have their smug, silvery little butts shot down. Not a single reported UFO sighting -- if true! -- describes the behavior of decent, polite, honorable visitors to our world. -David Brin in a 1998 on-line interview */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of scott Ford Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2020 11:38 Like the 1970s flick , ‘Colossus , The Forbin Project’, Colossus and American computer and Guardian a Russian computer take over saying ‘ Colossus and Guardian we are one’, or better yet My favorite show, ‘Person of Interest’..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
