Re-Opened Computer History Museum Explored

gosand writes "An article over at OSNews gives a nice overview of the recently re-opened Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. There are some good pictures in the article, and also at the Museum's website. They have a lot of very interesting computers, including an Apple I (signed by Woz), an Enigma machine, and Crays 1, 2, and 3 (yes, there was a 3!) Maybe you have something sitting in your basement that you would like to donate?"

  2. SGC - SLASHDOT IS GAY by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Posted from the nero-online.org Troll Library

    Following my work researching The Linux Gay Conspiracy, I am saddened to announced that I have discovered yet another orgy of perverted heterophobic values. My claim lies with the Slashdot mangement.

    First, what kind of name is Slashdot? This is obviously a code word in the homosexual community for something perverted.
    Slashdot is an anagram of LAD SHOTS, which refers to Slashdot's pedophile agenda and T ASS HOLD, which refers to some gay sexual posistion that Michael and CmdrTaco enjoy.

    The 'editors' of Slashdot, as they call themselves, are homosexual swingers with cleverly disguised nicknames.

    CmdrTaco (aka "Rob" Malda) is the "head" honcho of Slashdot. Cmdr obviously refers to his desire to dominate over his gay partners, and Taco is obviously a sly reference to his colon. Update: It is well known that Taco claims to be married to Kate Fent. No one really believes that 'she' is actually his wife. We have proof that this 'she' is actually a he. It turns out that Kathleen Fent is an anagram of KHAN FELT EN ET. So this Kate of his is really Khan who "felt in it". I will not describe what that means as I am sure you can imagine yourself.Update From AC: Kate Fent = FAT TEEN, K.

    Michael Sims, who goes as 'michael' on Slashdot, is a well known thug and advancer of homosexual agenda. His name is an anagram of ASS CHIME MIL which obviously refers to his desire to flaunt his lower organ.Update: It turns out that Michael Sims is also an anagram of ASS LICE, HMM, I?. That is so sick that words cannot describe the horror.

    Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day is Slashdot's Mac propagandist. Macintosh computers are well known as the Gay computer due to their homosexual colors and stylings. An email exchange between 'Pudge' and Apple HQ have been leaked by a former Apple employee who converted to heterosexuality. These two emails (here and here) have been repeatedly posted on Slashdot, but are quickly censored by Slashdot moderators who do not want the public to know about its agenda.Update form Subject Line Troll - it appears the O'Day is just a few letter changes away from I'm Gay and rhymes with O'Day. Is anyone surprised that Mr. Pudge is a fudge packing Mac hippie?

    Simoniker, a recent addition to Slashdot has been uncovered as Mr. Goatse himself. Simoniker is a frequent poster to the Games section of Slashdot, obviously because he enjoies modded versions of Quake 3 and UT2K3 as a homosexual warrior who likes to 'overcome' his opponents with his exagerated sized love member. In addition, Simoniker is an anagram of KEN I RIM SO (Ken is probably his current boyfriend) and MEN I IRK SO (which refers to his frustratingly troubled gay relationships, probably due to his rather large asshole).Update from AC: I'M ON ERIK'S... "Eriks what? We can only imagine" -AC.

    CowboyNeal. How could I forget him? CowboyNeal is Slashdot's Poll Editor. His rampant homosexuality is obvious. "Cowboy Kneel" is what his name actually means. His odd sexuality needs no further explanation.

    Please reply with additional information, contributions, and corrections. I will include any additional information and credit you with it in my further releases of this report.

    The original article is slashdotted, but here is another article (with more information anyway) on Yahoo.

    They discuss the gaping hole we have seen, and things the size of museums that could fit in it.

    once again... the obvious solution is modded into the ground. i feel like i'm at work. here's an idea you'd probably think was great: lets start ANOTHER computer museum in between the 2 for people that run out of gas on the way? it will of course be smaller than the other 2. i have the loan forms already filled out... now i just need to slap a cover sheet on and submit a TPS report and we should be breaking ground by 2006.

    suck it, idiots.

  7. Ah, so this is an American museum.... by The+Famous+Druid · · Score: 0, Troll

    You can tell, as they start their timeline at 1945, thus allowing them to start with Eniac, and leave out the earlier british computer (Colossus?) used to break the german codes during WW2. And some interesting polish work from the 30's. And that french beasty, and .......

    It's kind of like the 'space museum' that didn't mention Sputnik or Yuri Gagarin, childish really.
