jonstark 8 #11 December 16, 2004 I wonder if they could have fathomed the idea of having 64K of memory at more than 1hz. They are going to look back at us and wonder too. Ain't it great?!?!?!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unstable 8 #12 December 16, 2004 Hmmm, I predict that by the year 2010..... They will finally have figured out how to engineer a G5 portable Processor!! OH, The possibilities!!=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #15 December 16, 2004 Nice one, Bob! I love the plug for Fortran I actually worked at Lockheed Martin with a guy that refused to stop programming in Fortran, even though our 6-DOF simulations got WAY slow from his code plugins - we finally made him upgrade the compiler from Fortran 77 to something newer Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

I love the plug for Fortran I actually worked at Lockheed Martin with a guy that refused to stop programming in Fortran, even though our 6-DOF simulations got WAY slow from his code plugins - we finally made him upgrade the compiler from Fortran 77 to something newer When I worked for Marconi I once delivered a missile sensor simulator for another division of Marconi. We did the 3D graphics for the sensor on an SGI and sent it through a "data cube" for convolutions, noise, temporal filtering and HUD symbology. Everything was written in C code with IrisGL. I had to add a Fortran wrapper for the C simulator interface (basically a struct with a bunch of data fields they could just dump values into) because the guy running the customer's lab was a Fortran fanatic. He actually hired a bunch of hot young programmers to write the simulation code and guess what, they were C & C++ experts and had to learn Fortran77 to do the job. This guy was clueless, I had a quick chat with him and he claimed there was nothing you could do in C that you couldn't do in Fortran but the reverse wasn't the case. I've forgotten almost everything I learned about Fortran, but I remember thinking it was awesome when I transitioned to it from Basic and then I discovered C and never looked back.

popsjumper 2 #18 December 16, 2004 My memories of college Fortran involve flags chasing me throughout the night in a most vicious nightmare! Write program, punch cards, drop cards, re-order 'em, run 'em through and get a freaking flag, re-write, repunch cards, keep 'em the same order, drop cards again, re-order, re-run 'em through....for what? 2+2 = 4My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
