There was only one possible answer, but Jack's horrified mind refused to believe it until he had fed the radar plots of the skiff's course into the computer.

It is worth mentioning that the Nepōhualtzintzin amounted to the rank from 10 to the 18 in floating point, which calculated stellar as well as infinitesimal amounts with absolute precision, meant that no round off was allowed, when translated into modern computer arithmetic.

Alan Mathison Turing, OBE, FRS ( ; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954 ), was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist.

He was highly influential in the development of computer science, giving a formalisation of the concepts of " algorithm " and " computation " with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician Charles Babbage.

It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's Difference Engine, a design for a mechanical computer.

The Apple I's built-in computer terminal circuitry was distinctive.

As Wozniak was the only person who could answer most customer support questions about the computer, the company offered Apple I owners discounts and trade-ins for Apple IIs to persuade them to return their computers, contributing to their scarcity.

The high price was likely due to the rare documents and packaging offered in the sale in addition to the computer, including the original packaging ( with the return label showing Steve Jobs ' parents ' address, the original Apple Computer Inc ' headquarters ' being their garage ), a personally typed and signed letter from Jobs ( answering technical questions about the computer ), and the original invoice showing ' Steven ' as the salesman.

The computer was brought to Polytechnic University of Turin where it was fixed and used to run the BASIC programming language .</ li >

The computer was designated an IEEE Milestone in 1990.

Atanasoff and Clifford Berry's computer work was not widely known until it was rediscovered in the 1960s, amidst conflicting claims about the first instance of an electronic computer.

At that time, the ENIAC was considered to be the first computer in the modern sense, but in 1973 a U. S. District Court invalidated the ENIAC patent and concluded that the ENIAC inventors had derived the subject matter of the electronic digital computer from Atanasoff ( see Patent dispute ).

It was not a Turing complete computer, which distinguishes it from more general machines, like contemporary Konrad Zuse's Z3 ( 1941 ), or later machines like the 1946 ENIAC, 1949 EDVAC, the University of Manchester designs, or Alan Turing's post-War designs at NPL and elsewhere.

The machine was, however, the first to implement three critical ideas that are still part of every modern computer:

George W. Snedecor, the head of Iowa State's Statistics Department, was very likely the first user of an electronic digital computer to solve real world mathematics problems.

ALGOL ( short for ALGOrithmic Language ) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM, in textbooks, and academic works for the next 30 years and more.

The first model was launched in 1985 as a high-end home computer and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities.

The best selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 and became the leading home computer of the late 1980s and early 1990s in much of Western Europe.

By 1987 Ethernet was clearly winning the standards battle over Token Ring, and in the middle of that year Apple introduced EtherTalk 1. 0 for the newly released Macintosh II computer.

The eventual joint company effort, named Borland Office for Windows ( a combination of the WordPerfect word processor, Quattro Pro spreadsheet and Paradox database ) was introduced at the 1993 Comdex computer show.

In 1964 IBM introduced its System / 360 computer architecture which was used in a series of computers that could run the same programs with different speed and performance.

In the same year ( 1964 ), Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ) introduced another influential computer aimed at the scientific and research markets, the PDP-8.

The development of digital media and computer network technologies have prompted reinterpretation of these exceptions, introduced new difficulties in enforcing copyright, and inspired additional challenges to copyright law's philosophic basis.

Douglas Engelbart introduced the chorded keyset as a computer interface in 1968 at what is often called " The Mother of All Demos ".

In a famous 1968 demonstration, Engelbart introduced a computer human interface that included the QWERTY keyboard, a three button mouse computer mouse, and a five key keyset.

In June 1985, the computer readable CD-ROM ( read-only memory ) and, in 1990, CD-Recordable were introduced, also developed by both Sony and Philips.

The idea of microprogramming was introduced by Maurice Wilkes in 1951 as an intermediate level to execute computer program instructions.

Block structure was introduced into computer programming languages by the Algol project ( 1957 – 1960 ), which, as a consequence, also featured a context-free grammar to describe the resulting Algol syntax.

** Commodore 128 ( or C128, CBM 128, or C = 128 ), a home / personal computer introduced in January 1985, the last 8-bit machine commercially released by Commodore Business Machines

The idea was introduced by the architect Christopher Alexander in the field of architecture and has been adapted for various other disciplines, including computer science.

The PC / AT, introduced in 1984, had three 8-bit slots and five 16-bit slots, all running at the system clock speed of 6 MHz in the earlier models and 8 MHz in the last version of the computer.

Funded by a US Air Force grant, an expert system-based application ( hprcARCHITECT ) that generates computer programs for mixed processor technology ( FPGA / GPU / Multicore ) systems without a need for technical specialists has recently been commercially introduced.

In the mid 1980s, the arrival of desktop publishing and graphic art software applications introduced a generation of designers to computer image manipulation and creation that had previously been manually executed.

When the term was introduced to wider society by the mainstream media in 1983, even those in the computer community referred to computer intrusion as " hacking ", although not as the exclusive use of that word.

Neal Patrick testified before the U. S. House of Representatives on September 26, 1983 about the dangers of computer hacking, and six bills concerning computer crime were introduced in the House that year.

Hard disk drives were introduced in 1956 as data storage for an IBM real-time transaction processing computer and were developed for use with general purpose mainframe and minicomputers.

Industry Standard Architecture ( ISA ) is a computer bus standard for IBM PC compatible computers introduced with the IBM Personal Computer to support its Intel 8088 microprocessor's 8-bit external data bus and extended to 16 bits for the IBM Personal Computer / AT's Intel 80286 processor.

In 1961, the Burroughs Corporation independently released the first commercial computer with virtual memory, the B5000, with segmentation rather than paging.

In 1961 mathematician Edward O.

In 1961 Edward O. Thorp built a microprocessor timing circuit into a shoe, for covertly cheating at roulette, and referred to himself as inventor of the wearable computer.

For example, wearable computer imaging systems were described by Vannevar Bush in his essay " As We May Think " in the Atlantic Monthly in July 1945 and wearable devices for timing the trajectory of the balls on a roulette table were built and used by Ed Thorp and Claude Shannon in 1961.
