In Response To: Re: Speculation (daedalus) : Don't know if it's what is meant but WOPR was the computer in the movie
: "How about a nice game of chess?" Found this after my last post WOPR (pronounced "Whopper") is a fictional computer featured in the feature movie WarGames. Its name is an acronym for War Operation Play and Response. It is programmed to play a game called Global Thermonuclear War, the purpose being to be able to optimally respond to any possible enemy nuclear attack. Now what could an out of control computer have to do with this? ;> | |
