Mac was using an extended version of Pascal for years after it had withered everywhere else. In that vein, large parts of Mac OS X are written in Objective C.
Objective C isn't that bad, though - since it's an explicit superset of C it's not hard to learn.
Atanasoff built on earlier work that had been going on for thirty years or more, just as the Wright brothers built on the work of those who came before them.
Mayhap you should wipe the blood from your eyes and read my post again.
Like aircraft, digital computing has many parents, each of whom advanced the state of the art just a bit. Like the Wright Brothers, Eckert & Mauchly happened to be the ones who gave it that final push.
Like Langley, Atanasoff and fans were very sore losers.
I was very dubious till I saw those teasers. I can't understand why they only show the sex-toy on the website, instead of showing off the *real* toy, the Galactica!
I just wish it had been a little more explicit - I would have been a lot more forgiving of all the goofiness in that movie if he had actually woken up at the end and gone home.

All they have to do is add water and, presto! instant sequel!
A hand crank on the back of the machine has to be turned to set up the machine for voting. That moves a roller that prints counter totals onto a roll of paper in the back of the machine. Before voting starts, the paper is proof that all ballot counters are set at zero. Another print is made after the polls close to show the final tally for each candidate.
But if the crank isn't turned enough, or the paper is put in crooked and jams, the machine won't unlock. Another level must also be set to reflect the voter's party affiliation, so voters can vote only in their party primary. If that lever is set wrong, ballot levers for the right party will be locked out, barring a vote.
In what sense? I still remember the Philly Inquirer doing an article on how to hack a mechanical voting machine. favorite part: using a torch to remelt the lead seal so no one would notice that you "preinitialized" the vote count.
I remember the article in the Philly paper where a voting machine mechanic showed a group of reporters how to completely own a mechanical machine without anyone being the wiser.
My favorite part: using a propane torch to restore the seal so the machine didn't look tampered with.
The cost of a license is explicit. The cost of adding extra projects to an existing team of coders is nearly hidden and doesn't have to be justified as much.
In addition, there's the security that comes from "you can't fire me - who will maintain your payroll?"
Yeah, yeah, we all figured that part out. But it doesn't mean they haven't been doctored.
Sorry, I want a *slightly* higher level of proof than "Joe got it from Bob who got it from Mary who got it from a guy who downloaded it from a.TV site."

Do you know what language the first several releases of Mac OS were written in?
Hint: Professor Wirth was very happy with their choice.
Jesus, dude. Bitter?

remove the cheese and tell a story about genocide and the consequences of pacifism-at-any-price.
are forgetting that they already *had* humanoid cylons - they were introduced in BSG 1980.

Since an outsider can't tell from your number which way you voted.
But I still didn't know they did that. Thanks for the info.

banned for good reason?
You might want to do a little research on why ballots are secret, and what happens to voters when you give them receipts that show how they voted.
Hint: bullies hanging around the polling place can now verify that you voted the way they told you to.
And, no, that's not paranoia. That's US history.

It's counter-intuitive, but warmer temperatures can cause increased snowfall - the warmer air can carry more water, you see.
I've got a small non-profit website I'm running on behalf of a club; there is simply no way I'm going to upgrade it to "enterprise" linux.
I always get my cow orkers to check my speeling for me.
I've always found that being an irritating pedant can cover up for almost any lack.
Was there a point in any of that?
And, the word is "ridiculous".

I thought they called that "algae"?
You can't restrict an individual's right to give to political parties; and companies are composed of individuals.
Or is there some other explanation for your failure to get a joke?
Yeah, yeah, we all figured that part out. But it doesn't mean they haven't been doctored.
