When you think of it, despite how far the film diverged from the Heinlein novel (unfortunately), it’s a gift that kept or even keeps on giving to other scifi films and series.

The mobile infantry battle gear was reused in so much besides the two sequel films. Firefly, Power Rangers, a live-action Gundam film just to name a few.

It qualifies as a vulnerability and has been fixed, but the whole fuss is completely overblown though. If an attacker has physical access or access to an iLO, DRAC or other kind of remote console, this vulnerability doesn’t matter worth a damn, it’s already game over.

Not really motorsports, but still worth mentioning: the beloved silly trio trying to get a Renault Avantime to give better laptimes a Mitshubishi Lancer Evo X.

Well, the financial doping injection from the Marshall plan definitely helped in rebuilding Western Europe.

What air travel needs, is more of these. I’d happily pay more for a gunner seat.

He owns an album bought through an auction. He doesn’t own the music on the album, that remains the artist’s intellectual property.

Oh, most people also find it surprising that cruise ships have concrete subfloors. I don’t know why. People are just always shocked when I talk about the interior concrete pours during our dry docks.

Well what do you expect when the decision not to renew was made before they had even finished filming all the episodes of the first season? Firefly thanks its popularity to the loyal fans and cult following it’s gathered. over the years. Movies made for such a crowd only draw their fans to the cinemas.

No man! Indians!

I’m disappointed it’s nothing like the meeting room in Octopussy.

The celebrity photos leak known as “The Fappening” occurred thanks to social engineering. If the people affected used two-factor authentication on their accounts, their photos and videos wouldn’t have been stolen.

If you follow the books, Poole’s not 100% dead though. In 3001: the final odyssey he’s found and revived (yep, you guessed right how many years later)

Did you read the books by Sir Arthur C. Clarke? HAL functioned as he was programmed to: he was instructed to keep information about the monolith from the Poole and Bowman until they had arrived.
