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.
The Imitation Game: inventing a new slander to insult Alan Turing. Mathematician Alan Turing played a key role in the allied victory in the second world war, by cracking the encoded messages produced by German Enigma machines. Childhood.

The Imitation Game jumps around three time periods â Turingâs schooldays in 1928, his cryptographic work at Bletchley Park from 1939-45, and his arrest for gross indecency in Manchester in 1952.
