Lamport (born February 7, 1941 in New York City) is an American computer scientist. Lamport is best known for his seminal work in distributed systems and as the initial developer of the document preparation system LaTeX.[2] Leslie Lamport is the winner of the 2013 Turing Award[3] for imposing clear, well-defined coherence on the seemingly chaotic behavior of distributed computing systems, in which several autonomous computers communicate with each other by passing messages. He devised important algorithms and developed formal modeling and verification protocols that improve the quality of real distributed systems. 최윤섭의 Healthcare Innovation.

Our Latest Flash Memory Investment: The Devil Made Us Do It. Today we announced our investment in Ottawa-based Diablo Technologies, along with Hasso Plattner Ventures and existing investors Celtic House and The Business Development Bank of Canada. From what I can determine, Diablo’s $28m round is the largest investment in a Canadian technology start-up in over a decade. And while that’s interesting, it doesn’t hold a candle to the technology and vision that warrants such a big bet. While Diablo isn’t announcing its products just yet, it has developed a revolutionary new approach to incorporating flash memory into computing systems.

It’s called Memory Channel Storage (MCS) and we think it represents a dramatic shift in the storage/memory hierarchy. We are extremely excited to be working with this outstanding team and personally I am really looking forward to skating on the canal! Gary W. Keller.

George Orwell. English author and journalist Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950),[1] better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic, whose work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism.[2][3] Life Early years.

Nineteen Eighty-Four. History and title[edit] A 1947 draft manuscript of the first page of Nineteen Eighty-Four, showing the editorial development. The Last Man in Europe was an early title for the novel but in a letter dated 22 October 1948 to his publisher Fredric Warburg, eight months before publication, Orwell wrote about hesitating between The Last Man in Europe and Nineteen Eighty-Four.[14] Warburg suggested changing the main title to a more commercial one.[15] Copyright status[edit]

Big Brother (Nineteen Eighty-Four) In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens. The people are constantly reminded of this by the phrase "Big Brother is watching you", the maxim ubiquitous on display. Since the publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, the term "Big Brother" has entered the lexicon as a synonym for abuse of government power, particularly in respect to civil liberties, often specifically related to mass surveillance. Additional speculation from Douglas Kellner of UCLA argued that Big Brother represents Joseph Stalin and that the novel portrayed life under totalitarianism.[1][2] In the novel, it is never made clear whether Big Brother was a real person or an invention by the Party to personify itself.

In Party propaganda, Big Brother is presented as one of the founders of the Party, along with Goldstein. A spontaneous ritual of devotion to Big Brother ("BB") is illustrated at the end of the "Two Minutes Hate": Michael Lewis. Marcel Proust. 이단 교회.

Hannibal lived during a period of great tension in the Mediterranean, when the Roman Republic established its supremacy over other great powers such as Carthage, the Hellenistic kingdoms of Macedon, Syracuse, and the Seleucid empire. One of his most famous achievements was at the outbreak of the Second Punic War, when he marched an army, which included war elephants, from Iberia over the Pyrenees and the Alps into northern Italy.

Perspectives. Roy Fielding. Roy Fielding speaking at OSCON08. Wright brothers. The Wright brothers, Orville (August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948) and Wilbur (April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912), were two American brothers, inventors, and aviation pioneers who were credited[1][2][3] with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903.

From 1905 to 1907, the brothers developed their flying machine into the first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Although not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft, the Wright brothers were the first to invent aircraft controls that made fixed-wing powered flight possible.
