I wonder sometimes about the/. moderating. How does the parent post to this get a 5:insightfull? My Karma is crap on a stick for what I thought were decent shots at humor or my own insightfull thoughts, MUCH more insightfull than than the parent post. Yet I get modded down left and right and a post like this get a 5? WTF?
As a financial expert I can personally tell you that dot-com and dot-org's are sooooo not where you want you're money anymore. dot-TV is where you should be. For those with onions bigger than GW attempting to use a big word I would highly suggest splitting it 50-50 with dot-Biz

Running Time:
98mins Format: Digital
A new documentary feature about the invention of the first electronic
computer.
John Mauchly
and J. Presper Eckert were the inventors of ENIAC, widely considered the
first electronic computer. With its grand unveiling in l946, that large,
blinking contraption set the public's imagination reeling like never before
--Would this machine really be able to take over human tasks? Would there
actually be use for such a thing?
Mauchly:
The Computer and the Skateboard tells the story of what happens to
the inventor as the huge potential of his invention begins to dawn on
those around him: from the triumphant unveiling and first successful operations
to the crushing blow of being stripped of the patent. Co-directors Jim
Reed, who is Mauchly's grandson, and Paul David weave archival footage
together with interviews of Mauchly's colleagues and friends to create
an eclectic homage to Mauchly and a new perspective on the history of
computation.
The backbone
of the film is commentary by Mauchly's widow Kay, who was hired as a young
mathematician to do calculations on the brand new ENIAC and fell in love
with its inventor. One of the original "Women of the ENIAC "--the world's
first computer programmers --she shares her lucid understanding of computer
history along with intimate biographical anecdotes to provide an insider's
picture of the the project's genesis and progression.
The film's
cast of characters also includes former colleagues and students from the
University of Pennsylvania, Ursinus, the Smithsonian Institution, The
Eckert-Mauchly Company, Sperry Rand, and Iowa State University. The title
comes from recollections by Mauchly's former Ursinus students of a professor
who zipped around the classroom on a homemade, jet-propelled skateboard
in order to demonstrate Newton's laws of motion.
Mauchly:
The Computer and the Skateboard documents an early chapter of a story
which continues into the present: the excitement of creating new technology
as well as the inevitable sharks swimming in its wake. Through the reminiscences
of those who knew him, Mauchly emerges as a brilliant, driven, sometimes
exasperating man who endured a series of personal and professional tragedies
with remarkable grace and humor. The kid who stayed up reading into the
wee hours with his homemade device warning of his parents' approach ushered
in a whole new era. Mauchly: The Computer and the Skateboard is
a tribute to a man who is certainly one of the undersung heroes of the
twentieth century.
these days? A "discotheque". Back in my day, we called it what is was, a good ol' saw-dust on the floor whore hose AND WE LIKED IT. We had to walk up hill both ways in the snow AND WE LIKED IT.
the real implications behind. I'll proabbly be flamed for just looking for info, but how does this change anything that we have known about MS software being insecure?
Now when your favorite MMORPG is down for the 20th patch of the day you can go to the bar and play it on napkins.
