Later, while dialing every number in Sunnyvale, California to find a set of forthcoming computer games, a computer that does not identify itself intrigues Lightman.

A scene from the 1983 film WarGames was filmed near Darrington, and during one scene, when David Lightman ( Matthew Broderick ) is in a phone booth and says he is in Colorado, the mountain in the background is Whitehorse Mountain.

The film follows David Lightman ( Broderick ), a young hacker who unwittingly accesses WOPR, a United States military supercomputer programmed to predict possible outcomes of nuclear war.

Lightman gets WOPR to run a nuclear war simulation, originally believing it to be a computer game.

Lightman discovers that Stephen Falken is an early artificial intelligence researcher, and guesses correctly that his dead son's name " Joshua " is the backdoor password.

An acoustic coupler is prominently shown early in the 1983 film " WarGames ", when character David Lightman ( depicted by actor Matthew Broderick ) places a telephone handset into the cradle of a film prop acoustic modem to accentuate the act of using telephone lines for interconnection to the developing computer networks of the period, in this case, a military command computer.

In 1981, Lightman began publishing essays about science, the human side of science, and the " mind of science ", beginning with Smithsonian and moving to Science 82, The New Yorker, and other magazines.

From 1974 to 1976, Lightman was a postdoctoral fellow in astrophysics at Cornell University.

In 1989, Lightman was appointed professor of science and writing and senior lecturer in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ).

As of 2005, major ophthalmic research programmes at Moorfields were led by Professors Robin Ali, Shomi S. Bhattacharya, Alan C. Bird, Fred Fitzke, John Greenwood, Roger Hitchings, Peng T. Khaw, Phil Luthert, Susan Lightman, Tony Moore, Ted Garway-Heath, Steve Moss, Santa J. Ono and Gary S. Rubin.

* In the movie WarGames the character David Lightman uses a microcassette recorder to record the sounds produced by the door lock panel ; he then plays the recording back to unlock the door and escape the infirmary at the NORAD facility.

* Smart glass is seen in the television series Lie To Me with the interrogation / interview room at the Lightman Group offices consisting of what amounts to a room-sized box within a larger room, with smart glass walls.

David Lightman ( Matthew Broderick ) is a bright but unmotivated Seattle high school student and hacker.

Lightman learns the true nature of his actions from a news broadcast, and the FBI arrests him and takes him to NORAD.

Lightman escapes NORAD by joining a tourist group and, with Mack's help, travels to the Oregon island where the widowed Falken ( John Wood ) now lives under a new identity.

Lightman and Mack find that Falken has become despondent and believes the world is on an inevitable path to nuclear holocaust.

Falken, Lightman, and Mack convince military officials to cancel the second strike and ride out the non-existent attack.

Instead, Falken and Lightman direct the computer to play tic-tac-toe against itself.

David Lightman was modeled on David Scott Lewis, a hacking enthusiast Parkes and Lasker met.

In 1981, Richard Pryor came to town to film parts of the movie Bustin ' Loose and Snohomish received additional attention from Hollywood in the 1983 movie WarGames as the name of the high school from which the character David Lightman, played by Matthew Broderick, hacks into a military computer system.

Alan Paige Lightman ( born November 28, 1948 in Memphis, Tennessee ) is an American physicist, writer, and social entrepreneur.

Lightman was born in Memphis, Tennessee.

His father was Richard Lightman, a movie theater owner, and his mother, Jeanne Garretson, a dancing teacher and volunteer Braille typist.

Lightman received his AB degree in physics from Princeton University in 1970, magna cum laude, where he was Phi Beta Kappa.

In 2003, Lightman founded the nonprofit Harpswell Foundation, whose mission is to empower a new generation of women leaders in Cambodia and the developing world.

In his scientific work, Lightman has made fundamental contributions to the theory of astrophysical processes under extreme temperatures and densities.

In 2007 Lightman released his most recent novel, Ghost, an examination of the dichotomies of the physical world and the spiritual world, scepticism and faith, the natural and the supernatural, and science and religion.

In 2003, Lightman founded the Harpswell Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower a new generation of women leaders in Cambodia and the developing world, specifically through housing, education, and leadership training.

Even he does not know the one signal for a nuclear strike -- the `` go code ''.

But Wisman, too, does not know the go code.

Fixity does not lie in a hidden decree, therefore, but in corporate unity of the Church with Christ, whom it has come to know in the gospel and has learned to embrace in faith.

Also, as we now know, bosons also have antiparticles, but since bosons do not obey the Pauli exclusion principle ( only fermions do ), hole theory does not work for them.
