the inventor, per se. It was designed to get IP into the public domain instead of being kept as a trade secret. In order to do so, it was agreed to reward inventors for a limited period of time. This gave incentive to distribute IP instead of hiding it in perpetuity under the cloak of trade secrets.
Believe it, or not, there is only one laser. The output of one laser diode is split and amplified to make the 192 beams. The output of that one laser diode is probably in the vicinity of 1 Watt.
I don't know this for sure, but I suspect there is one out there with 30 years of uptime now, or damn close to that, running Unix-RTR as part of a 5ESS switch.
Try running a massively multi-threaded application on Linux. Then tell me that there is no reason for Solaris. We still have a few more years until the fine-grained locking in Linux matches that of Solaris.
The concept was that by establishing a market for ethanol as a fuel, it would then justify investment in other technologies to generate ethanol. The bootstrap would significantly reduce the risk of developing those technologies. Now is the time to cut the subsidies for Corn based ethanol production and to push the alternatives.
The first BBS, and the protocol that enabled the transfer of binary files over modem. Xmodem was originally invented for use on CBBS and spread from there.
A remarkable number of innovations in one system. Supposedly the inspiration for the Xerox STAR system. Graphic displays in the 1960's. Real time chat rooms and instant messaging. Computer Aided Instruction. This list goes on and on.
If you feel comfortable with Python, come out to the Chicago Python Users Group meetings, hone your skills and network. There is a lot of Python work in Chicago these days.
We don't have that many A-Bombs, we do have a pile of F-Bombs. Ie. Fission vs, Fusion. Do note that a fusion warhead is 1,000+ times more powerful than a fission warhead.

Someone thinks that "weather" sattellites are use just for weather.
Bzzzzt! Try again.
I am sure they are used for surveillance, too. No way the military will give that up.
I'm fuzzy on this, but I seem to remember those were distributed as engineering samples prior to the official release of the Pentium 60's.

Dump Congress?
These are the same people who think you should not have access to their malpractice and disciplinary records.
The turbo-charged variant put out 180HP. The later models were extremely reliable and durable. Good enough to run as an airplane engine, which it was.
OMG! Where's the eye bleach? Congratulations! You got me on that one.
Talk about shooting fish in a barrel. The possibilities are endless.
...It?

Close, invented in the mid 1960's, CP67 on the 360/67, commercialized as VM370 on the 370 in 1970.

He was also the Father of the User Interface. He was the first to take human factors into consideration in the design or products.
they practice de-evolution.
Or do mosty of the images of Beijing, these days, look like they were lifted straight from Blade Runner?

That being said, the 5ESS is a marvel of reliability.
