Long jumpers jump from the same leg every time - in Markus Rehm's case, his take-off leg just happens to be the prosthetic one.
Plus (and this is the biggie with regards to all prosthetic appendages IHMO) - he has one leg which effectively cannot get injured. He's less likely to suffer any training setbacks during his build-up to major events. If his prosthetic leg snaps a week before the worlds, he can simply replace it. With a real leg, there'd be no chance for it to heal in time. Hell, he doesn't even have to deal with blisters on one of his feet.
The UK was initially assigned.gb and it's still reserved for us. But we got to use.uk too, as it made the transition from JANET NRS to DNS easier for our pre-existing academic network.
I had a device installed in my border patrol booth which could translate a variety of Eastern European languages to English text in realtime as far back as 1982.

Probably not.
However, the people born between 1993 and 1997 who presumably didn't receive correspondence as a result of this mix up are still alive.

Yeah, my bad for skimming your post. I assumed the quoted text was an independent statement, and didn't take it into its proper context.
So "all later computers followed"?
Technically, that's a true statement regardless of whether it was the first...
Just because the inventors did not pursue financial gain, it does not mean those who funded their research didn't.
