In a pre-release version of the original MAD, as a reference to MAD's namesake, MAD magazine, when a program contained too many compile time errors the compiler would print a full-page picture of Alfred E. Neuman using ASCII art.

* 1977: " Best Editor ", for revamping MAD magazine

The film was neither a commercial nor critical success when it was originally released, and was disowned by both the staff of MAD magazine and actor Ron Leibman ( who, despite his sizeable role, had his name completely removed from the credits and promotional material ).

Besides paying Warner Bros. $ 30, 000 to remove all references to MAD from the film when it was released on home video, MAD's publisher William Gaines issued personal handwritten apologies to every person that wrote the magazine to complain.

Following Time Warner's purchase of MAD ( and after Gaines ' death in 1992 ), all references to the magazine were reinstated on cable television.

* In the tradition of MAD making fun of movies, the magazine spoofed their own film with " MAD Magazine Resents Throw Up the Academy ".

He was closely associated with another MAD writer, Larry Siegel ; though the two wrote separately for the magazine, both contributed to the off-Broadway musical The Mad Show, and later to The Carol Burnett Show ( for which they won multiple Emmy Awards ).

In the late 1990s he had a brief stint at Cracked magazine before beginning to work for MAD magazine in 2000.

Also in 2010, he began contributing artwork and character design for the Cartoon Network animated show " MAD ", based on the magazine.

Another memorable example of a multiple-groove recording was the 1980 flexi disc entitled It's a Super-Spectacular Day issued by MAD magazine.

He worked as a publisher of the Pardon magazin and later, from 1968, was the editor of the German version of MAD magazine.

Legendary for his work as a science fiction artist, he created Alfred E. Neumann of MAD Magazine fame.

* Issue # 120 of MAD Magazine, in its satire of the movie Cool Hand Luke ( mocked as " Blue-Eyed Kook "), compares the prisoners having to ask the guards anytime they want to do something with this game.

Unlike most MAD movie parodies which are often several pages in length, this one was only two ( appearing in place of the magazine's usual letters column ), as the piece devolved into a series of supposed interoffice memos by the writer, artist and editors, all decrying their role in the parody.

Now a major contributor to MAD, Richmond's caricatures and cartoons illustrate many of MAD's trademark movie and TV parodies.

At MAD, he was primarily, though by no means exclusively, a writer of television and movie parodies.

Li ' l Abner provided a whole new template for contemporary satire and personal expression in comics, paving the way for Pogo, Feiffer, Doonesbury and MAD.

With MAD 93 billion, the region contributes to 44 % of the Industrial production of the Kingdom.

His favorite comic books growing up were Uncle Scrooge by Western Publishing and Little Lulu comics from Dell Comics ( Western Publishing ), and his sister's collection of MAD comics and magazines.

For a symmetric distribution ( where the median equals the midhinge, the average of the first and third quartiles ), half the IQR equals the median absolute deviation ( MAD ).

It was most often discussed as mutually assured destruction ( MAD ), assuming there are exactly two parties in the conflict.

Mutual assured destruction, or mutually assured destruction ( MAD ), is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of high-yield weapons of mass destruction by two opposing sides would effectively result in the complete, utter and irrevocable annihilation of both the attacker and the defender, becoming thus a war that has no victory nor any armistice but only effective reciprocal destruction.

The strategy of Mutually Assured Destruction and the acronym MAD are due to John von Neumann ( 1902 – 1957 ), who had a taste for humorous acronyms, another example being his MANIAC computer.

Former officers have emphasized that they never felt as limited by the logic of MAD ( and were prepared to use nuclear weapons in smaller scale situations than " Assured Destruction " allowed ), and did not deliberately target civilian cities ( though they acknowledge that the result of a " purely military " attack would certainly devastate the cities as well ).

On 14 April 2000 the Duma did finally ratify the treaty, in a largely symbolic move since the ratification was made contingent on preserving the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty ( ABM Treaty ), and preserving the long-standing principle of mutually assured destruction ( MAD ).

Equipped with radar units ( Type3 Model 1 MAD ( KMX ), Type 3 Ku-6 Model 4 Radar, and ESM Antenna equipment ).

The SALT agreements were generally considered in the West as having codified the concept of Mutually assured destruction ( MAD ), or deterrence.

* Mamamayan Ayaw sa Droga ( MAD ), National Founder

This led in the West to the concept of mutually assured destruction, MAD, in which any changes to the strategic balance had to be carefully weighed.

Nevertheless, SDI was against the spirit — if not the letter — of the ABM Treaty, which sought to pursue the principle of MAD.

They also make it convenient to tune the wavelength of the radiation, which is useful for multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion ( MAD ) phasing, described below.

* Anomalous X-ray scattering ( MAD or SAD phasing ) – the X-ray wavelength may be scanned past an absorption edge of an atom, which changes the scattering in a known way.

A MAD experiment can then be conducted around the absorption edge, which should then yield the position of any methionine residues within the protein, providing initial phases.

Although this is the original method by which protein crystal structures were solved, it has largely been superseded by MAD phasing with selenomethionine.

As MAD Magazine pointed out on its cover for the March 1961 issue, this was the first " upside-up " year — i. e., one in which the numerals that form the year look the same as when the numerals are rotated upside down — since 1881.

The primary application of this doctrine started during the Cold War ( 1940s to 1990s ) in which MAD was seen as helping to prevent any direct full-scale conflicts between the United States and the Soviet Union while they engaged in smaller proxy wars around the world.

The doctrine of MAD was officially at odds with that of the USSRs policy which had, contrary to MAD, insisted survival was possible.

I was writing in MAD, which was much easier and more pleasant than the FORTRAN and COBOL that I had written earlier, and I was using CTSS, the first time-sharing system, which was infinitely easier and more pleasant than punch cards.

MADTRAN was simply a translator from FORTRAN to MAD, which then produced machine code.

It was available for use under MTS and provided many new ideas which made their way into other languages, but MAD / I compilations were slow and MAD / I never extended itself into widespread use when compared to the original 7090 MAD.

* MAD Magazine # 448 provided a review of the fictional " Infinite Secret Crisis on All Earthly Worlds ", which sought to solve the continuity problems by killing absolutely everyone, in alphabetical order.

This reasoning superficially resembles the much older doctrine of MAD, or " Mutual Assured Destruction ", but Kahn was actually a vocal critic of that doctrine, which was due to John von Neumann.

While at MAD Cat's funeral in the post credits, Doctor Claw says to the mourners that he wants to say a few words which happened to be " Next time, Gadget.

According to the " Date " system in Knuth's article, which substitutes a 10-clarke " mingo " for a month and a 100-clarke " cowznofski ", for a year, the date of October 29, 2007, is rendered as " To 1, 190 C. M ." ( for Cowznofsko Madi, or " in the Cowznofski of our MAD.

It did so by providing Distant Early Warning of an inbound aerial invasion force, which would have to appear at the far north hours ahead of any warhead launches in order to be coordinated well enough to prevent MAD.

MAD was the Cold War doctrine which held that as long as both the US and USSR possessed significant nuclear arsenals, any nuclear war would assuredly destroy both nations, thereby discouraging either state from launching any nuclear offensive.

Bob Morris and Doug McIlroy translated that from MAD assembler to BCPL ; they then moved the BCPL version to Multics when the IBM 7094 on which CTSS ran was being shut down.
