    @nutbastard: I've just had the following revelation...


    HAL, GlaDOS, the autopilot (did he have a name?), and Terminator all have glowing red lights. Is this because HAL made them popular? Or perhaps is there a more sinister plot brewing here?...


    Hrmmmm...

    @benztech55amg: AUTO's design was a clear tribute to HAL. But HAL was pretty much the progenitor of the design.

    @John Nahajski: Go to your local library and take out a copy of 2001 by Arthur C. Clarke. Then, buy the DVD and watch it. Then, watch the DVD again.


    Both HAL and 2001: A Space Odyssey are considered to be landmark achievements of both science fiction and cinema in general.


    You are not an idiot but you are not well-versed in sci-fi - not if you haven't read or seen 2001.


    The story is ultimately about evolution. Dave Bowman, the protagonist at the end, is a man nearly devoid of emotion. HAL is a computer which ends up afflicted with paranoia.


    Go read 2001.

    @John Nahajski: OH MY GOD YOUR POST IS FULL OF STARS!


    Arthur C Clarke is basically the father of many inventions we have today. He basically predicted the coming of Geostationary Satellites. His work is some of the best Science Fiction out there. Kubrick only directed the movie. Clarke wrote it.

    And this was back in the 40's when Space travel didn't exist and rocket technology was in its infancy!

    HAL is not evil. In 2010 (the less famous sequel to 2001), they explained that he killed everyone due to a programming error.

    I'd say GLaDOS is a bit more evil, and on top of that, has a rather wicked sense of humor about trying to kill you.


    Remember when the platform was lowering into the fire pit, and I said 'Goodbye', and you were like No way and I was all 'We pretended we were going to murder you'? That was great.

    HAL. You might think that Frank Poole died a horrible death but it was nearly instantaneous. And the frozen crewmembers didn't feel anything.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Yeah. GlaDOS liked to fuck with you too much. "OHH THERE IS GONNA BE PIE!" I was happy then she tried to burn me alive. HAL is cold and calculating, will just finish you off quickly.

    What if they fell in love? It would be like a Wall-E meets Dr. Stangelove meets A Clockwork Orange. It is a beautiful thing when crazy robots are in love. No disassemble.
