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.
Burroughs, in turn, would boast to visitors that he could have a piece of Einstein any time he wanted. My headline may be a bit misleading. Albert Einstein, the Nobel prize-winning physicist who gave the world the theory of relativity, E = mc 2, and the law of the photoelectric effect, obviously had a special brain. So special that when he died in Princeton Hospital, on April 18, 1955, the pathologist on call, Thomas Harvey, stole it. Einstein didnât want his brain or body to be studied; he didnât want to be worshipped.
