There is a great scene in the Oscar winning documentary The fog of War where Robert McNamara talks about optimizing destruction in a war. The clip is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfPwR00HXM0&feature=related

The film also goes into the jeep problem and how it lead to the island hopping strategy in WW2. Lesson #4: Maximize Efficiency. http://www.errolmorris.com/film/fow_transcript.html

The graphic of the planes dropping numbers is the sort of warning that stays with you.

I'd like to share this inspiring video about Professor Karp. He reminds us of why we are working on science and why Richard Kard is a great role model for many of us.

I love this Easy Artificial Intelligence in Python video. It's simple and to the point. I wish every OR presentation was conducted this way. I'm a fan.
