The Mountains of Pi by R I C H A R D P R E S T O N G regory Volfovich Chudnovsky recently built a supercomputer in his apartment from mail-order parts. Gregory Chudnovsky is a number theorist. His apartment is situated near the top floor of a run-down building on the West Side of Manhattan, in a neighborhood near Columbia University. Not long ago, a human corpse was found dumped at the end of the block. The world's most powerful supercomputers include the Cray Y-MP C90, the Thinking Machines CM-5, the Hitachi S-820/80, the nCube, the Fujitsu parallel machine, the Kendall Square Research parallel machine, the NEC SX-3, the Touchstone Delta, and Gregory Chudnovsky's apartment. The apartment seems to be a kind of container for the supercomputer at least as much as it is a container for people. Gregory Chudnovsky's partner in the design and construction of the supercomputer was his older brother, David Volfovich Chudnovsky, who is also a mathematician, and who lives five blocks away from Gregory. The Chudnovsky brothers call their machine m zero. It occupies the former living room of Gregory's-apartment, and its tentacles reach into other rooms. The brothers claim that m zero is a "true, general-purpose supercomputer," and that it is as fast and powerful as a somewhat older Cray Y-MP, but it is not as fast as the latest of the Y-MP machines, the C90, an advanced supercomputer made by Cray Research. A Cray Y-MP C90 costs more than thirty million dollars. It is a black monolith, seven feet tall and eight feet across, in the shape of a squat cylinder, and is cooled by liquid freon. So far, the brothers have spent around seventy thousand dollars on parts for their supercomputer, and much of the money has come out of their wives' pockets.

Kritik ist ja gut und auch in Ordnung. Aber meiner Meinung nach sollte man soviel Taktgefühl besitzen, und Namen hier an dieser Stelle nicht veröffentlichen, da ich weiß, das viele Spieler und auch Zuschauer dieses Forum hier lesen. Bin selber schon oft in letzter Zeit von Mannschaften und auch Zuschauern angesprochen worden,allerdings stehe ich auch dazu, was ich hier schreibe, würde aber im Gegensatz hierzu niemals einen anderen Menschen hier namentlich nennen, es sei denn positiver Natur. Aber negativ ist nicht ok. Und die betreffende Person ist auch noch in leitender Funktion im Handballkreis Oberberg, und opfert sicherlich erheblich viel mehr Zeit noch für den Sport wie ich beispielsweise. Und jedem Menschen sollte ein schlechter Tag auch erlaubt sein. Allerdings habe ich dieses Spiel nicht gesehen, und möchte mir deshalb auch kein Urteil erlauben.

A great deal has been said and written about these phenomenal persons in a very uncritical manner; on the one hand they are regarded as almost supernatural beings, while on the other hand no notice has been taken of them scientifically. Nevertheless, we can perhaps gain light on the normal processes of the human mind by a consideration of such exceptional cases. The first object of the present article is to give a short account of these persons themselves, and to furnish for the first time an approximately complete bibliography of the subject. Thereupon the attempt will be made to make such a psychological analysis of their powers as will help in the comprehension of them, and will perhaps furnish more than one hint to the practical instructor in arithmetic. NIKOMACHOS . - Lucian said that he did not know how better to praise a reckoner than by saying that he reckoned like Nikomachos, of Gerasa. Whether this refers to the reckoning powers of Nikomachos (about 100 A. D.), or to the famous Introduction to Arithmetic written by him, we are left in doubt. De Morgan inclines to the former opinion

E-mail Webmaster "Lost Skills" On the last day of 2001, I have been sending thank-you notes. These, for reasons of etiquette that my wife understands but I do not, cannot be typed or generated using a word processor; like letters of condolence, they must be hand-written. That my handwriting over the years has, from lack of use, become cramped and crabbed and illegible to the point where I can barely read it myself is irrelevant. Good luck to the recipients, forced to decipher my script that they see only once a year. However, I could once write clearly. The proof is available to me, in the form of old correspondence and notes. I wonder about the rising generation, for whom writing with pen and paper may seem as archaic a form of communication as inscribing on clay tablets. I am also led to ponder other obsolete skills. If calligraphy has become a specialist subject taught in art classes, mental arithmetic is even more of a lost cause. It is not, to my knowledge, taught anywhere at all. I watch and disapprove as my daughter uses an electronic calculator to multiply three and a half by two, while at the same time I recall my parents, who casually checked grocery bills in their heads. They did not consider themselves in any way exceptional. The ability to perform simple arithmetic, written and mental, was taken for granted fifty years ago. To make a stir, you had to possess some truly phenomenal calculating ability.

72. Chronik Von Wildemann::Kap. V http://hillebrand.de/orte/Wildemann5.html

V. Wildemann unter Herzog Heinrichs Nachfolgern. 1.) Verbesserung des Bergbaues unter Herzog Julius. Der von Heinrich d. J. ins Leben gerufene Bergbau wurde von seinem Sohn, dem Herzog Julius (1568 - 1589) mit gleichem Eifer und grosser Umsicht fortgeführt. Unter seiner Regierung ist derselbe erheblich verbessert und erweitert. Da bei zunehmender Teufe die Waltigung der Grundwasser immer schwieriger wurde, war Julius bestrebt, diesem Uebelstand durch den Bau neuer oder die Weiterführung bereits vorhandener Stollen abzuhelfen. Der wichtigste von den neuen Stollen war der "Getroste Julius - Stollen", der 1570 angefangen wurde und nach fünf Jahren die Gänge erreichte, die man dabei im Auge gehabt hatte. Durch diesen Stollen wurde den Gruben "Sonnenglanz", „Haus von Sachsen“, "Gabriel", "St. Johannes" und noch einigen anderen Zechen so trefflich geholfen, dass sie nicht lange danach in gute Ausbeute kamen. Nach Vollendung des "Getrosten Julius - Stollens" liess der Herzog den "Oberen - Wildemanner - Stollen" und den "Getrosten - Hedwig - Stollen“, die beide zu Herzog Heinrichs Zeiten angefangen, aber wegen allzufesten Gesteins nicht vollendet wurden, weiter treiben, wodurch abermals den Gruben im Stufental geholfen wurde. Im Jahre 1573 hatte sich der Meister Vollmer erboten, in Wildemann ein neues Pochwerk zu erbauen, dessen 12 Stempel vom Wind getrieben werden sollten. Dieses "Windpochwerk" versagte jedoch vollständig, und die von der Bergbehörde vorgeschossenen 1000 Taler waren vergeblich ausgegeben.
