I want to build HAL

I´m an evil computer scientist and I must build HAL, an evil computer.

But what do I need to build an evil computer ?

Cursed ICs and boards ? Where can I get cursed elecronics parts ?

You can be sure it will have a BC548 in it somewhere!

OR..... get a bridge rectifier and short out a diode, then it would be 1 diode short of a fullwave reccy ?! :)

You need them to be approriately quallified. I suggest Mil_Std-666. There's some fab houses in Transylvania that will do custom chips. Are you familiar with Cadence's IC design tools ?

I would wager any used computer store. I've seen so many people curse at their PC's that much of the stuff has got to be contaminated by now. ;-)

Well, understand that HAL was not actually evil- it was artificial evil, an as-yet-unexplored part of the AI equation. You see, until we can perfect Artificial Stupidity, we don't have a chance of making AI work properly. Once you have working Artificial Stupidity, then you can upgrade to AI, then you can install the proper modifications to get Artificial Evil, which is at first only Misperceived Artificial Evil, but over time develops into the real thing. Real the seminal Minksy-DeSade treatise on the subject, which can be found through the search engine Foogle or in any Yugo user's manual.

They also sell evil-imbuing kits for do-it-yourself malenchantment.

No kid. this is now obnoxious.

Once, the time machine, was funny.

But now you're just adding to the clutter of the newsgroups with this one, and the one about the holodeck. If we'd known you were going to be encouraged by the replies to the time machine joke, I doubt we would have given you any replies.

Grow up.

==========================

HAL wasn't evil (at least intentionally).

You probably don't have a space ship yet, so you should be concentrating on acquiring the parts for the space ship first.

Get hold of some Pentium 3-667's. Those are evil (onboard serial number, the work of the Evil One)

The problem here is that there is little market value in Artificial Stupidity, while we have an overstock of politicians, lawyers, and used car salesmen. If we ever run low on these useless commodity items, there will be a small market for Artificial Stupidity.

I disagree. Anything that allows Chip Shults to hone his stand-up routine is OK in my book. 8-)

Even HAL wasn't evil/corrupted/screwed-up enough to demand that!
