Apollo On Board Computer Emulator

Posted by michael on from the powerful-geekiness dept.

frankk74 writes "For those of you interested in Historical Computing and the Apollo manned spaceflights Ron Burkey has created a open source emulation of the Apollo Guidance Computer called vAGC. I use it as my desktop clock of choice. Note it only keeps mission time so after 24 hours you have reset the time :-). P.S. Another cool Apollo toy free and payware can be found here."

    Are the rights of a chinese worker worth less than the rights of an American worker?

    To an American? Yes. To a Chinese person, it's the other way around.

    I'm neither celebrating nor bemoaning this basic fact of human nature. But you seem to be either unaware of it or unwilling to acknowledge it.

    Lots of bad things happen when people choose to ignore human nature.
