Looking Back On Looking Forward

da6d writes "The Independent Online Edition has an article on the release of interviews Stanley Kubrick conducted of numerous prominent scientific minds of the day in preparation for the movie 2001. The topic of the interviews: extra-terrestrial intelligence. The transcripts of the interviews are due for release in book form next month. The actual footage of the interviews seems to have been swallowed by time." From the article: "Some of the interviewees have looked back at their original comments. Professor Good stood by his, including his suggestion that computers might have personality traits: 'My Windows 98 computer tells lies and often forces me to shut down improperly. Such behaviour in a human would be called neurotic.'"

The future sucks!

In 1968, there were fast cars, good music and free sex.
In 2005, we watch movies about fast cars, good music and free sex.

and 2001 was a boring fucking movie. give me Slap Shot and a 12-pack of Molson XXX and get the fuck out of my life.

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

My girlfriend tells lies and often forces me to go to bed without sex. Such behaviour in a computer would be called buggy.

You seem to be forgetting Me, much like MS would like to forget Me.

I can understand why we would forget about you, but what did you do to Microsoft that would make them want to forget you?

Have you tried having intercourse with her while she sleeps?

In computer terms that would be called: unauthorized access.

Have you tried having intercourse with her while she sleeps?

If you tried such acts you would recieve a 403 Forbidden error.

"Have you tried having intercourse with her while she sleeps?"

Not cool. I have two seriously messed up friends who have suffered greatly because of rape. Even if your statement was meant as a joke, you shouldn't have posted it, and if it was anything resembling a serious suggestion, I'd recommend that you seek some serious psychiatric help.

On second thought, do so anyway. You obviously need it. >:(

It's only unauthorized if you put it up her butt. - in computer terms that is called a Backdoor Trojan/Virus of some sort.
