jack action said:Every time I see one of those, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that DOS - which I was required to load every time I opened the computer - was holding on a single floppy and I had a functional computer. Now, to get my functional computer, I need Windows, that would require something like 30 000 floppies! Imagine loading that every time you open the computer!
The typical first design iteration. It works on paper, but it doesn't work in practice.Riya23 said:Engineer: put [the cat] in tank of water and measure the rise of the water level![]()

That's a typo. The first "A" in the organization's name must be dropped.davenn said:this is from a serious sci article

To those splendid individuals employed at NASA, which is a fine organization in and of itself, made so through dedication, knowledge, and talent that has brought it to be at the leading frontier of science and technology. NASA rolls off the tongue easily and invokes imagination of space faring children and future astronauts. NASA is Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Walter Cronkite, Neil Armstrong, Tang, rising at 0400 to see a live rocket launch, a bamboo bound Grade 5 book science project of all things on the moon landings. Rockets, satellites, and space stations. What inspired the likes of Julie Payette ( Governor General of Canada ) or Richard Hatfield to take the journey to travel into space and look down upon the fragile earth, and what made it possible for their dream to come true. NASA gets a "N" for such things as Nifty, Notable, and Necessary. Keep up the good work.Tom.G said:Now, now, folks. Lopping off arbitrary pieces of arbitray Government Agencies is not something everybody would agree with.(hope it sneaks by the censors)

Mathematician: we can calculate the volume integral over its full body
Physicist: let's suppose the cat is sphereical![]()
I wonder how many punch cards one have to load to install and run Windows 10 ...mathwonk said:@Dr. Claude, and anyone who tthinks floppy discs are old school: I started out programming for a Univac Mark 1. no floppies, just punch cards. the computer filled a large room.
... , plus or minus the "shovelware?"jack action said:how many punch cards one have to load to install and run Windows 10 ...
It's Windows 10, there are no useless or low quality programs included in that OS.Bystander said:... , plus or minus the "shovelware?"
OCR said:I don't know if Windows 10 has anything to do with it...
But I sure notice a speed increase with this...

I remember some years ago on TV news, somebody saying "I totally refute [sic] these allegations, and I would like to confront the alligators!"DrGreg said:Don't believe anything an allegator says; it's just an allegation.

No. The cat's awkward situation dates back to 1935, whereas Murphy's Law has been introduced by John W. Campbell while he was editor of Astounding Science Fiction, which he became in 1937. Close, but no.DrGreg said:Did Schrödinger ever try this?
