Do not always go for the obvious lessons

The ENIAC was a highly parallel computer; ... Long before ENIAC was completed, it became clear to the designers that they could utilize the equipment more efficiently if they would adopt serial methods instead of so much parallelism; Don Knuth :Von Neumann's First Computer Program This paper exists as a pdf in the ACM portal.

1984, in word: nineteen eightyfour

StefanL, 19.12.05, 07:45

Apple's 1984 Super Bowl commercial announced that the future would be nothing like Orwell's vision, but in one aspect Apple was wrong. Orwell predicted a world where today's enemy becomes tommorrow's ally, and as that happened, all memory of the previous alliance or warfare was erased. In Orwell's novel, that was Winston Smith's job: to put all records of previous...

2 Tage in Steyr

StefanL, 13.12.05, 23:53

Steyr ist, jetzt im Winter, viel schöner als der Nichtsteyrer glaubt. Der Glühwein ist nicht so gut, der Bärenpunsch ist besser und der Bärenpunschandi ein noch viel netterer Kerl. War da mit dem Goldchen, der 0815tussi und dem OEdiktator. Wir haben es sehr lustig gehabt, bitte sehr.
