[edit] Origins

Yes, but do we know a first use?! - David Gerard 12:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Found it! - David Gerard 13:13, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

The article asserted it was used from the 1950s (I changed it to 1960s). Are there any actual examples from the 1950s? - David Gerard 13:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

The sentence about Logan's Run and Captain Kirk is not a proper sentence, but I've never seen either of the referenced movies (or shows?) and I can't easily make it right. The "Like in Logan's Run" thing is never explained and it sounds like James T. Kirk destroyed a robot in Logan's Run.

"Does Not Compute" was used by one of the robots in one of the recent Star Wars prequels -- I believe Episode I. This might need mention.

I know I'm lazy for not fixing it myself, don't bother to tell me. I just figure it's better to say something than not.

Surely some treatment of HAL in 2001 is relevant? Or should this be in cognitive dissonance?82.211.95.178 11:06, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The citation needed tags should be replaced with one at the top of the section, as so many disrupt the flow of reading. Junulo 21:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
