Ada Lovelace is called the first computer programmer because she translated a paper written by one man, about another man’s work, using example programs written by that man from two years prior that she modified with a lot of his help. All of the fuss about Ada being the first programmer is about this translated paper.

Can you /pol/-tards please talk about something else for a change?

Think a lot about how r rated movies always have actors dub over profanity with FCC friendly language and I'm waiting for them to start doing this with older movies with soundalikes to remove "racist/sexist/lgbtphobic" jokes/language

New malicious hardware 

A new form of malicious hardware: CPUs with circuits that won't allow it to work if moved to some other brand of computer.

Does this have an effect on software freedom? I don't see that it does, but it is nasty in any case.

Did not see that coming.

The worst part of the game has to be your allies. They don't help at all and it's just a chore to keep them alive. It feels like an escort mission most of the time.

I also don't understand why there is so much hype for this game (or the franchise in general). It's just a 3D rail-shooter. It's pretty fun, but I don't get why it's considered one of the greatest games of all time.

Maybe I'm just spoiled by more free-roaming shooters like Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.

So, I played Star Fox 64 for the first time. Turns out I suck at it, but just playing it makes me realize how much I relate to Slippy. In fact Slippy is perfect commentary on how you shouldn't send autistic people to war.

That "hazing" they got definitely improved, and probably ultimately saved, their lives. Being fat isn't a good thing, and once you stop being fat you feel a lot better, and the older you get, the more dangerous being a hamplanet becomes.
