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.
Though The Imitation Game was largely based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma, much of Alan Turingâs life is shrouded in mystery. Turing, played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the film, is credited as the father of computer science.ut most of the documents tracing his work for the British government have been destroyed and little is known about Turingâs personal life. Hereâs what is likely truth and what is embellishment in The Imitation Game based on Alan Turing: The Enigma and the Turing Exhibition at Londonâs Science Museum.
