"The Ultimate Computer" [ Star Trek ]

Original Airdate: Mar 8, 1968

(from internet transcript)

KIRK: The M-5 is not responding to him like a computer. It's talking to him.

SPOCK: I am most impressed with the technology, Captain. Doctor Daystrom has created a mirror image of his mind.

M5: Consideration of all programming is that we must survive.

DAYSTROM: We will survive. Nothing can hurt you. I gave you that. You are great. I am great. Twenty years of groping to prove the things I'd done before were not accidents. Seminars and lectures to rows of fools who couldn't begin to understand my systems. Colleagues. Colleagues laughing behind my back at the boy wonder and becoming famous building on my work. Building on my work.

Never Say Never Again

Quotes

Q: Good to see you, Mr. Bond. Things've been awfully dull 'round here. Bureaucrats running the whole place. Everything done by the book. Can't make a decision unless the computer gives you the go-ahead. Now you're on this. I hope we're going to have some gratuitous sex and violence!

James Bond: I certainly hope so too.

Never Say Never Again

From Wikipedia

Sean Connery played the role of Bond for the seventh and final time, marking his return to the character twelve years after Diamonds Are Forever (1971). The film's title is a reference to Connery's reported declaration in 1971 that he would "never again" play that role.









"The Ultimate Computer" [ Star Trek ]

Original Airdate: Mar 8, 1968

(from internet transcript)

MCCOY: The biographical tape of Richard Daystrom.

KIRK: Did you find anything?

MCCOY: Not much, aside from the fact he's a genius.

KIRK: Genius is an understatement. At the age of twenty four, he made the duotronic breakthrough that won him the Nobel and Zee-Magnes prizes.

MCCOY: In his early twenties, Jim. That's over a quarter of a century ago.

KIRK: Isn't that enough for one lifetime?

MCCOY: Maybe that's the trouble. Where do you go from up? You publish articles, you give lectures, then spend your life trying to recapture past glory.

Fact Sheet: The Administration's Cybersecurity Accomplishments

May 12, 2011

"From now on, our digital infrastructure – the networks and computers we depend on every day – will be treated as they should be: as a strategic national asset. Protecting this infrastructure will be a national security priority." - President Obama, May 29, 2009

The Administration has made significant progress in cybersecurity, ensuring that Americans, our businesses, and our government are building better protections against cyber threats. Departments and agencies have implemented numerous programs to enhance their risk management with regard to their systems. They have also put processes in place to engage with their suppliers and their private-sector stakeholders. In addition to those activities, we have completed or will shortly complete all of the 10 near-term actions from the Cyberspace Policy Review [http://www.whitehouse.gov/assets/documents/Cyberspace_Policy_Review_final.pdf], and we continue to implement the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative [http://www.whitehouse.gov/cybersecurity/comprehensive-national-cybersecurity-initiative]. At the same time, the Administration is taking significant steps to institutionalize the need for strong cybersecurity and to operationalize the policies that we have developed to better protect our Nation against cyber threats.

Statement on Signing the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission Act

June 02, 2009

Today I am pleased today to sign into law, H.R. 131, which will create a Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission with the responsibility to plan, develop, and carry out activities to honor Ronald Reagan on the 100th anniversary of his birth. It is fitting that the life of our 40th President be commemorated on this occasion. The bill provides that the Commission will be composed of the Secretary of the Interior, four individuals whom I will appoint after considering the recommendations of the Board of Trustees of the Ronald Reagan Foundation, and six members of Congress appointed by the congressional leadership. I wholeheartedly welcome the participation of members of Congress in the activities of the Commission. In accord with President Reagan's Signing Statement made upon signing similar commemorative legislation in 1983, I understand, and my Administration has so advised the Congress, that the members of Congress "will be able to participate only in ceremonial or advisory functions of [such a] Commission, and not in matters involving the administration of the act" in light of the separation of powers and the Appointments and Ineligibility Clauses of the Constitution (Public Papers of the President, Ronald Reagan, Vol. II, 1983, page 1390).

BARACK OBAMA

The White House,

June 2, 2009.

Note: H.R. 131, approved June 2, was assigned Public Law No. 111-25.
