    Les Paul and Leo Fender made it what it is today.

  2. Alternating Current Electricity on Slashdot's Top 10 Hacks of all Time · · Score: 1

    Tesla (not the band, the inventor)
    another
    Remember the story about the new york police station shaking so bad stuff was walking off the tables, and they eventually figured out it was a machine Nikola was testing in his lab, blocks away?

  3. Re:BDS (Brain Damage Software) C on Slashdot's Top 10 Hacks of all Time · · Score: 1

    yeah baby--I started C on BDS C.
    It was a great platform. Still have the 3-ring binder with the op-art color photo too, I think.
    Leor should be on the list!
    It sure beat the hello out of Z80 assembler!!

  4. Re:Voyager -- GreatHack on Slashdot's Top 10 Hacks of all Time · · Score: 1

    Yup. The whole voyager project was that way. The voyager programmers and engineers deserve a big trophy for that!

    "Let's take advantage of the trip to collect data on something else, like 2 other planet flybys" and then they upload new machine code to do more.... They hacked maximum useage out of those little buggers, and they did it from such a great distance. And they're still going!

  5. time on Time Doesn't Exist · · Score: 0

    "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so".
    Douglas Adams saw this one coming -- THHGTTG

  6. more guessing on Transmeta Unveiled in November? · · Score: 2

    Willy Dog says they will announce a new operating system, and a new chip to run it on. It will be way cool, and manage to swing the binary compatibility thing with existing apps from a bunch of other OS's and processor families.
    And instead of a silicon chip, it will use a greenish gel containing DNA-based computing elements. And when it crashes, the gel turns blue -- the blue goo of death (BGOD) ... it could happen!

  7. The review is good on An interview with Donald Knuth · · Score: 1

    and so is the series. Even George Lucas would have to admit that Knuth understands the big picture and how to fill it in. I cannot imagine what the world would be like if he had not written this material. Does it mean I'm an old fart if I read and enjoy owning Knuth's books? Then you young buttheads should check it out too!

  8. it's a great idea on NASA show off new 'Star Wars' type PDA · · Score: 1

    Re: the speech recog and language parsing -- have we forgotten about the cyc project?
    I think it could do what they say in the news release, just fine.

    it's gonna take a while to build the sensors and work out the locomotion stuff. By the time the ball is ready, the software has had a lot of time to grow up. It would be a much nicer place for erwin to live.

    I think it's another reason to colonize space. ;-)

  9. babelfish to the rescue on IETF draft on different IPv4 addressing scheme · · Score: 1
    english->german -> english

    This really improves the spelling too!

    ABSTRACT:

    This paper was required by an overwhelming desire; an attempt to terminate the
    obvious difference in the data communication of the information absent from the
    logical and from the Thoroughness, if an assertion of the turning design will
    transfer IP. in order to transfer a more pointed fact, I had to lead a check of
    certificate of Cisco. However this can be never completed, if the information,
    which is used necessarily and in the preparation of it, lacks passage and
    reproduces the errors, which concern fundamental information. To say
    unnecessarily, my efforts were not in the vein. That is, like a direct result of this
    transfer, I the unterstreichenen errors recovered, calculates a possible alternative
    approximation to the turning design IPv4 and does not extend its category system
    (that any longer inside use is).
