This Chevy also had 260 fewer pounds to lug around than did the last 4x4 F-250 crew-cab diesel we testedâ7580 pounds for the Silverado versus 7840 for the Ford. As a result, the 3.8-ton Silverado stormed to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 15.5 seconds at 88 mph.
How A Gay Love Story Led To The Invention Of The Computer. How an adolescent gay love story changed the shape of the digital future: â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦. The idea that led to the invention of the computer, an idea that Alan Turing put forward in his 1936 paper âComputable Numbersâ, did not start with a mathematical puzzle. It started with a love story, and a gay love story at that. Alan Turing became friends with Christopher Morcom in1928. Morcom was, in many ways, Turingâs first real peer. He was, like Turing, a mathematician and a scientist.
Alan Turing's Universal Machine is named greatest British innovation of the 20th Century. 1  The 'universal machine' is the theoretical basis for all modern computers. 2  Alan Turing created the theory in a paper 'on computable numbers' in 1936. 3  After WWII, Turing made the first designs for a stored-program computer.roundbreaking: Alan Turing also invented the code breaking naval Enigma machine, pictured, which cracked the Nazis' coding machine and stripped U-boats blockading Britain of their cover. Turing's invention was one of 100 to be shortlisted for the national vote.
