Hal 9000 and Da Vinci’s Last Supper

p2pnet news | Off Topic:- This week-end we posted an item featuring Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper.
Amateur scholar Slavisa Pesci claimed superimposing a mirrored image over it revealed new hidden images.
That the news came to light, so to speak, was prompted by the fact a 16 billion pixel reproduction of the painting is now online, enabling people to see it almost as clearly as if they was standing in front of it in Milan’s Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where it resides in real life.
It’s a hugely successful promotional effort for Italy’s haltadefinizione ‘Hal9000′.
Hal 9000 is, you’re recall, the Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer in Arthur C. Clarke’s Space Odyssey saga.
Will haltadefinizione’s use of the name inspire a copyright lawsuit?
Only time, and Clarke, will tell
