Day geek

February 14, computer scientists around the world celebrate their professional holiday. It was on this day in 1946 that the first really working electronic computer ENIAC was launched.

I congratulate you dear,% username%, on this holiday, I wish you the greatest victories in our difficult task, so that any baytkod will be in power, so that the users will not be bothered today and do not need to repair the Internet, in order to congratulate someone on some Valentine's Day (I I don’t regret so much that just today I went to work precisely for this). All computer scientists are considered rude and evil, so dear we care about you, so that you don’t tear your hair on your head when nothing works, we do it for you, so please be so nice to us!

All the holiday !!! Cheers Comrades !!!

about the holiday:
“Of course, there were earlier computers, but these are all prototypes and experimental options. If it comes to that, then the first computer in general was the Babbage analytical machine ... But ENIAC was the first computer that actually worked on practical tasks. By the way, it is from ENIAC that modern computers inherited the binary system of calculus.

ENIAC was developed to solve one of the most serious and necessary tasks of the time: for the calculation of army ballistic tables. In the army there were departments involved in the calculation of ballistic tables for the needs of artillery and aviation. People worked in these departments at the posts of the Army Calculator. Naturally, the army lacked the power and performance of these “computational resources”. That is why cybernetics in early 1943 began to develop the concept of a new computing device - the computer ENIAC. via calend.ru »
