I highly recommend the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Washington. (Well only if you are into technology) There is a fair bit of history on display there. More than just weapons. http://www.navalunderseamuseum.org/
I forgot, here is write up on the Howell torpedo. http://www.navalunderseamuseum.org/media/6c06204b6731dd48ffff8332ffffe906.pdf
Snow?
My first computer required that you toggle in the boot loader binary code from front panel switches!
That has to be the modern equivalent of hand crank started horseless carriages.
Takes me back to loading those Interdata model 3s with the front buttons so we could load the paper tape. Then we could watch the registers with lights on the front as our code executed. Ah glad those days are over.
Good luck going to Safeway and buying your Jeno's frozen pizza with Euros, Yuan, or Yen, but they're all "real" money.
And if you're at safeway in australia good luck paying for it with US dollars.
In my earlier days, when I worked at Safeway in Washington State we were happy to take Canadian money, so we (either the U.S. or Safeway) used be somewhat flexible. I bet the manager would have taken Euros too if they had existed at the time. (But may be not at the best exchange rate.)
He's a figurehead and a spokesperson at big events, but ultimately is only as good as his advisors and staff. He can't be at every interview for coders, or even interviews for the HR people who hire the coders. He has to trust his staff to do their job, and they didn't. I see this as more of a marketing selling an idea up the food chain, and dev trying their best to hold it together while sticking to their ridiculous deadlines. The next CEO will be in exactly the same position, because everyone else responsible is still in their position of responsibility.
If they are just figureheads, then why are they paid such a high salary. They do well when things out of their control go well, they are punished when things out of their control go wrong.
If work done by a teacher at home because property of the school, then that work would become work for the school Then, any injury at home tangentially related to the work would become a work related injury.
Ha, and the students? I can see it, 1st graders with workers comp claims.
